    Very impressive 'calling' it so early. Hoping for a NSD as well myself, so I can catch up that pesky Knit Witch. :) Am sure I read somewhere that this wasn't a competition, but I just can't help myself. Whatever it takes to drive me on!!!

    Ooh it's getting competitive in here!! :rotfl:I know what you mean though, I think it's for the same reason that I went for the ridiculously high target of 20!

    It is pretty cocky calling it so soon! It helps working many miles from home that I know by the time I get back I won't have the energy to pop to the shop even for necessities! It also means that if I mess up, I really mess up because if I spend anything whilst at work it would have to be on a credit card as I leave all our spending money at home! And I would surely be in some sort of meltdown to let that happen!

    So near to having to return with my tail between my legs! On a wonderfully air conditioned journey home to hear OH has bought milk :eek: oh no I hear you cry...we have already established for me this month such a spend is considered a spend for the world of NSD goodness... But wait good NSD people there is a happy ending to this story (I can practically hear you sliding towards the edge of your collective seats!) I quizzed the OH - "how could you afford such a treat?" I asked. His response..."coppers and silvers". But still, I hear you ask, how is this not a spend given the aforementioned rule having already been outlined ... Well my weird food cooking (or avoiding) and hockey playing nut jobs ... We have no coppers OR silvers in our food fund jar. Which means it didn't come from there. Which means it must have come from OH's allowance, which I consider in the same vein as a direct debit and spent at once it's removed from my account (I would mean our account, it is joint, but I don't, cos I don't let the maniac spendthrift that is my OH touch it!)

    And I shan't reimburse him for it from the food fund. Partly cos I can't break a note. Partly cos why should I. Partly cos I'm a meanie. Mostly because HELLO NSD #9
