    Hey everyone, I'm just dropping in to say hello and apologise that I didn't sign up this month. After being on holiday at the end of May we had some yet more sad news, this year has been like a sequel to that ole Hugh grant film, we just need a wedding now. Somehow with that and trying to catch up at work and being very busy my heart and head have just been elsewhere this month.

    I'm kinda in budget though, trying to stick to lists and not buy unnecessary things, but have 'needed' to stock up on some cupboard items like toilet roll (always needed after Igors cooking), shower gel, baking cases etc. just little things but things needed to get some other stuff like home baking back on track.

    Been keeping a little eye on you all though, and Marmite, your hard work is very appreciated. Xx

    Oh, and been keeping up the running even though my 5k is done. We're adding in a monkey bar challenge now too lol. Exercise has given me something positive to push myself on and focus on, it let's me clear my head too which has been much needed x

    Did someone say Rocky Horror?!?!?!? Yay!!!!

    Oh my goodness. So the entire NSD gang will be kitted out in various Rocky Horror outfits and will be time-warping their way down the pitch. Meanwhile, Hubert will spend his time in goal wiggling his hind quarters to the sounds of Elvis in Jailhouse Rock. Well, the team are going to play so well he will get bored in goal, so whatever floats his boat....I pity the bankers and merchants on the other team, they are so going to get hammered.

    kerri sorry life is a bit carp at the mo.

    Good job you are a good runner, though, we expect loads of goals from you in the match tomorrow night.

    knitwitch Fabulous scarves, daaahhhling, have you got an extra-long one for Igor? So we can tie him to the goalposts after the match so we don't get force fed gerbil curry, or whatever foul concoction is on the menu.

    Hmm Huberts is 4 times the length of the others, would that work?

    Thanks for the lovely words guys, hoping the second half of 2014 will be better, although in a way, it makes you thankful for what you have.

    Btw, on the subject of Rocky Horror, I did a pole routine to Time Warp with complete Columbia outfit, should I dust off my stripy shorts?

    Hi All. I've just been catching up on your tea party/rocky horror arrangements which have bee making me giggle. Hugs to Kerri.

    Sorry have been MIA, I didn't have time to meal plan or shop at the weekend so have been in and out of the local co-op this week. Not good for my NSDs and also by the time I've finished work, picked up DD from after school club, argued about what to eat, gone shopping and found there's none in co-op, argued again, bought expensive stuff, gone home then cooked and cleared up I'm exhausted. A very good case for meal planning. We are out again tonight and both DD and DH are cooking.

    We were supposed to be out last night but I cancelled. I can't have another exhausting weekend as enjoyable though it is, it affects the rest of the week financially ( and last night would have been a big expense and I'd overspent so it was a good mover).

    Ooh just realised yesterday was an NSD as I had lunch bought for me. Yayy

    Can you put me down for 5 please marmite and thanks for all your adding and encouraging posts. I am going to set target lower next month. :)
