  • Thursday and Friday were both spendy. :o
    I passed the reins over to my wonderful Assistant Head Ms Nargleblast,and took a few days off,as I had the tiniest of headaches.Some retail therapy helped...

    I'm hoping that today will be non spendy.

    I made it to no.4 yesterday. Taking the kidlets swimming today so will be dipping into my purse for that. Getting 10 this month is probably not going to happen (I avoided the F word!) but as it's my first month of the challenge I'm going to consider this one to be a practice run!

  • Hi everyone,

    I'm declaring NSD #6 sometime in the past five days. It's all been quite hectic and spendy getting things ready for DS to go off to uni, can't remember which day it was. Hoping to have a quiet non-spendy day today after a 300mile round journey yesterday.

    Happy weekend to you all

    Igor, stop pestering me about the celebrations for the end of term. Yes, I know there are only ten days to go. Yes, I know the school has worked really hard to get all those NSDs. We are having a prizegiving ceremony at the end of term assembly.

    You want a WHAT afterwards???? A school prom?????

    Let me get my head round this, Igor. The ladies can wear their best ballgowns and tiaras, and your tailor can supply cheap evening suits for the blokes. (Ok if you don't mind a suit with one arm, three legs and space for a hump...)

    You know this really class band...Igor, it's not The Good Ole Boys, is it? I swear, I'm taking a contract out on the idiot who let them out of jail.....

    You realise matron kerri will be locking the school sanitorium so nobody can steal any drugs? And alcohol will abso-freaking-lutely banned?

    One fly in the ointment, Igor. Nothing is going to happen without the head's permission. You need to apply in writing to head teachermarmite for permission for a prom. Make sure you explain everything, you know what a stickler she is for detail....and keep that donkey out of sight, she still hasn't got over the mess he made of her office while she was away...

  • A bit scared of my expenses over Thursday and Friday, but the best I can do is just accrue more NSDs. 8/10 today, and I'm spending the next week in a holiday cottage by the sea with a stack of novels and few spending plans. Almost everything has been paid for in advance.

    I'm so glad that you didn't use the f word.Shawn the Shark hasn't been around much recently,on account of our collective good behaviour,and is feeling peckish!
    Every nsd is a bonus,so even if you don't quite reach target,that's ok too. :)

    I hope that DS settles in ok.

    Yes,that's quite right.I don't want to hear any more of your pathetic excuses Igor.I know that you let Hubert in to my office.How is a donkey supposed to unlock a door with his hooves,mmm?

    Oh,and I still haven't had a satisfactory explanation as to why the hot chocolate consistently seems to have a strong laxative effect,but I have a hunch that you're behind it...and for goodness sake stop slouching!
