    Morning chums ,well I suppose I should get out my trusty chariot and gallop off to the shops today but its looking a bit overcast and dark out there so I may jiggle what stuff I have, and try to squeeeeeeeze out one more day without shopping.My shopping list is a bit sparse and only has half a dozen things on there and I think I can do without them for one more day,nothing urgent, so that's that decided today will be day 10 :j:j:j:j S*d the shopping its going to be ironing mountain instead, and then feet up and a bit of knitting.

    Today WILL be NSD #5 UNLESS I give in to my growling stomach...didn't have anything quick to bring for lunch today. I have salad I should have prepared yesterday but didn't. I usually manage the day without anything but given the stomach is already growling, not sure I'll cope until 7pm!!

    Last checked in on Sunday, just before coming away on a 13 day walking holiday.

    Spent on non-allowable items before leaving home, but not on my 4 mile walk after arriving.

    Monday I went out on an 8 mile walk, and about 5 miles in lost my footing. Came 'home' having spent nothing, but with a very sore wrist. Ended up with a friend driving an 80 mile round trip to take me to A&E (closest to where I'm staying is a few minutes from her), then staying at her place overnight before going back to hospital to have my wrist manipulated the next morning. I've broken my right wrist, and as with most things I've done it well..... it's a baaaad break, and they may still decide (at any point in the first 3 weeks) to operate to insert a pin :eek: So my Dad picked me up from the hospital on Tuesday (after I'd had a Mr T meal deal for lunch, which would have cost me an NSD but it already wasn't due to a D/Debit), brought me back to holiday location, stayed over, ran me back to hospital yesterday, then to Mr A for some clothes (can't manage a lot of what I brought one-handed and brought minimal planning to hand wash a couple of times - no washing machine here) which means no NSD for Wednesday. He's staying with me until tomorrow, when OH will be joining me for the rest of the holiday (has always been booked for him to do so, but he can't get short notice leave easily so would have been nigh on impossible for him to come up early).

    So..

    Sunday : spendy
    Monday : #3
    Tuesday : spendy
    Wednesday : spendy
    Thursday (today) : NSD #4



    dig the funky cast :D
