    No NSD for a while.
    I started christmas shopping already;
    It was practically all in the sale or cheap and only had a few of them left so I had to buy them whilst they were there before they were gone.


    Aaaarrrggghhh! That C word - in July! Nearly as big a misdemeanour as the dreaded F word.....

    Welcome to the [STRIKE]asylum[/STRIKE] NSD thread, NewbieJosh, I calculate you are aiming for up to 14 NSDs in July? Marmite will add you to the list later, in the meantime, pull up a chair and catch up with the news from Ennessdee Towers! We are a strange lot on here but very good-hearted, and very supportive of each other.

    A little tip for you - to wean yourself off the takeaway habit, get yourself a copy of The Takeaway Secret (Google it) and learn to cook your own version of burgers, curries, pasta and pizza dishes, kebabs, stir-fries etc. Cheaper and more healthy because at least you will know what's in it!

    Done my first today, going to try and keep a streak going!

    I know I hate it too but had to.
    There was only 2 wreck it journals left and my dad asked me to get one for his secret santa in work and he left hints after I showed him mine yesterday.

    And I brought 2 furby things for my 2 cousins at £3 odds
    and there was only 2 left.

    Knowing my luck if i didn't buy them today they'd be gone forever if I went back to get them.

    I'm trying to spread the cost of C-mas this year to avoid being left with a small bank account near christmas.
