    Ye Gods,that's a very conservative.Are you sure that's enough?????!!!!You know how fond Igor is of bunting....BTW,Hubert is wondering if you can knit him a long train to go with his snazzy velvet toga.He says that anything in pink will do.Igor also needs some new woollen Y-fronts,but is not in a hurry-but do bear in mind that the nights are fair drawing in.:rotfl::rotfl:

    I am just about to have a meltdown,so I'm abandoning all forms of updating before I accidently delete everything.Hopefully normal service will be resumed tomorrow.

    But whilst I remember:

    fedup are you increasing your target?

    NewbieJosh do you mind just keeping a total tally.If you're talking about today being #1 and #7,it just gets confusing.

    supersaver I knew that I wasn't the only one.:D

    Thank you and good night.:)

    I last checked in on Wednesday, since when....

    Thursday was a spend day, as I treated the friend who drove miles to get me to A&E and my OH to a pub lunch (at an upmarket pub of her choice - over £31 for 1 starter, 2 mains and 3 soft drinks :eek: but they deserved it :)).
    Friday was a spend day as OH & I walked to Grasmere to do a bit of spending on gingerbread
    Saturday was NSD #10
    Sunday was a spend day (A1di, B'n'M, and a load of train tickets so that GDs don't miss out on a promised weekend with me, OH and his niece this weekend - for a day in Liverpool on Saturday - and holiday with us all next month)
    Today was a spend day as I got some prescription painkillers (and a pizza from A1di for tea). Thought I might have to beg for the painkillers as it's now 2 weeks since I broke my wrist, but the GP didn't seem surprised I was still in pain - nor that the over the counter paracetamol, ibuprofen and co-codamol had stopped working.


    Not sure I'll hit target this month (4 days over this weekend with youngsters, at least 1 day with bill payment - probably 2, a trip needed to C0stc0 before 2nd Aug, and issues with what I can / can't cook), but I'm going to do the best I can ;)
