    Come on, Igor, get the Cauldron of Doom scrubbed out, some of the pupils have been busy collecting NSDs!

    kxc798 and fedupandskint - you have each earned a housepoint for getting two NSDs on the first two days of the month! Well done, chaps! And well done also to the others who have one NSD so far.

    The rest of us have some catching up to do :o......but I will get there soon, I promise! Don't tell the Head!

    No house points for me today :o Though I did put some pennies in the bank that had been lingering since my car boot earning exactly nil interest in my bag (oh, just like my account then :rotfl:)

    I did pick up essential loo roll, and a little something for my mum, two jars of curry sauce at 50p each (nice standby and they were the last two on the shelf), a jokey housewarming present for my friend, oh and some much needed razors for me....before my legs look like Igor's :eek:

    Delights of lunchtime shopping the day before the kids go back to school :eek: stressed parents, stroppy kids - and OMG some of the language I heard, and THAT was coming from the parents! :eek:

    Hopefully that's me done spending this week though.

    Grabbed a few bits at L1dl from the house budget as i realised I had little in for work lunches - nothing too frivolous though.

    That dreaded time of year again, time to look at energy companies, looks like we can save a bit by switching to a known supplier so will have to do that. Always panic that our energy use will suddenly change or I'll get the sums wrong. A born worrier me.

    Right everyone, there's the lunch bell, form an orderly queue, Igor has been cooking in the canteen all morning.....

    Yesterday was another NSD so 2/15 so far.

    Today I need to get some milk and other bits but if I go in with a list and stick to it then it should be a contained 'spend day' (here's hoping).
  • I'm not doing very well so far. Oh dear. I was intending yesterday to be my first NSD, but after 5 hours with two BT engineers trying to get my phoneline on, I needed chocolate!
    I have had windfall in terms of unexpected money back from the water bill at my old flat though, so that was nice.
