    All together now, in the style of the late Kenneth Williams.....Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me! (Not so funny written down, though, you need to see the film to appreciate it....)

    Sounds like our July thread is going to be nearly as bonkers as the June one.

    We do aim to please...!

    I thought that the pics might be removed,because of copyright,or something like that?If they are removed,they can be replaced,I suppose.I'll give it a go,after the tennis!

    Just don't take any of his nonsense.Polishing the silver does not include cleaning his chamber-pot!:eek:
    Talking of which, Igor is getting out his Roman banquet dinner service (amazing what he can fit into that rucksack of his, alongside all the recipe books, including the latest re-release of The Hairy Bikers and Fanny Craddock Cooking up the Forum) and that punch bowl he is now polishing up looks rather familiar....


    Thanks.The front page is looking pretty good!:j:j:j

    Yes, it's looking stunning. Well done everyone, and well done marmite for keeping it all tidy and all the gang in line!

    What do you mean nearly - even more than I reckon!

    NSD 25 for me today. Just the food shop today out of food budget.

    Yesterday was a shopping trip with mum, coffee and lunch paid out of present budget, bought a top out of savings so no money paid out of my current account which is what I count the NSDs from.
    final unsecured debt to repay currently £8333

    Welcome To The Wholly Roman July NSD Challenge!


    We are a happy (and some might say mildly insane) bunch doing battle with those retailers - and there’s plenty of temptation out there at the moment. We are seriously committed to saving money, but nobody said it can't be done with a smile on your face - so we organise riotous nights out and gatecrash any function going - all without leaving the comfort of our own imaginations or armchairs!

    On a slightly more serious note, we are here to help each other avoid spending for the number of days we feel we can manage to try to take back some control over our hard-earned money. What you class as a "spend'" is entirely your choice; some people will try to shop on the days DD/SO etc are paid, whilst others will not include essentials such as rent. Have a look for a post from our sponsor (and godmother of this challenge) BigMummaF, this contains some guidelines and ideas for starting you off on the challenge.

    It’s amazing how inventive you get when you’re determined NOT to spend - from weird menu ingredients to surprising DIY solutions - but you know what? 99% of the time those wacky ideas work.

    As July,the month, was named after Julius Caesar,we are pleased to announce that the theme for July has a slightly Roman bent,paying hommage to a few famous (and very funny) Romans!!

    So,come on inside the stately Ennessddee Towers,pull up a chair,and let Igor,and his trusted slave Hubert,sort you out a wine glass!Welcome!!:D



    Check out the prizes.....,and hoping for a good laugh along with:
