Hi,black cat.Welcome aboard :money:
My OH and I have separate budgets.Each month this thread is me accounting for the money we have decided to allocate to the main household budget-groceries,school excursions,treats,petrol,haircuts,etc.

My partner's spending doesn't come into this for me.If it did,I am sure I would never reach target .

That makes sense as long as I don't get OH to buy things so that I can have a NSD!

Hello All,

Am struggling with the last 2 NSDs - hoping to get them on Monday and Tuesday if I can. Good luck everyone and see you at the Oktoberfest!

Oh,why not???Many times I have sent OH out for milk or bread,feigning busy-ness,so I can save an NSD :rotfl:.

Years ago,when I was a teenager and we lived in the country,we had six cats.We got hardened to finding sweet little presents on the doorstep -rabbit entrails were a favourite.The worst I think was a nubby rabbit nose plus whiskers.
The mummy cat was a great provider for her kittens and used to heave the odd dead rabbit through my open bedroom window and store it under my bed.I learnt to check under the bed every day. :eek:

Marmite now ranks alongside Doctor Who for giving me nightmares of what's under the bed [/QUOTE]

I do apologise -pretty gross,I know.

Marmite- That's some hefty saving on all the things you bought, well done :TThey do sound lovely.

Thanks.

Saver-upper slopes out of the classroom while Ms marmite not looking...................

Yesterday was #14.

Woohoo!! It's payday! I am waiting for a rather large sum to depart my account It will help us to buy a house though so I'm not too concerned. I'm counting it as a spend when it goes though! I have checked and it's still there (I was told it could take a few days for it to happen)

This week I've been fairly good. If we hadn't had a meeting with our mortgage advisor on Tuesday that would have been a NSD. However we were too tired and it was late when we were done so we went to 'spoons for a steak tea
The rest of the week has been pretty good apart from one shop to buy things to cook for our Big Coffee Morning this morning. So I'm here to declare up to NSD #13 :j:j:jand I'm now wondering if I can make it 15 before the end of the month!

Sorry,I missed this.Great news on the house Penguins86 - congratulations! :j:j:j

blackcat Hi and welcome! :wave:

IMO if you count all your OH's spends,then it's possible that you'd never get a nsd,if he spends every day.It is tricky.If you had a joint grocery budget,you could not count spends,as long as they were within budget,and keeps other spends seperate?

Right, Igor, is the hall decorated for the prom? Good, good.....there will be a late start because prizegiving is going to take ages, so I hope the food is not going to go off? Oh, you've curried everything to preserve it...hmmm, nice, but....curried spotted !!!!!!????? Curried chocolate brownies???? And surely you mean Spiced Lemon Mousse, with a double s? Oh you did mean mouse? And the orchestra looks suspiciously like that band whose name shall not be mentioned...better keep Hubert away from the stage then, if they start mincing around in stilettos and false eyelashes....only just finished his course of therapy since their last appearance......you know, I am tempted to barricade myself away from this madness in matron kerri's sanitorium and spend the night getting rat-faced on kaolin and morphine ....why oh why did I agree to Igor's daft idea of a prom?

Oh,so it was The Good 'Ole Boys after all? I thought that they had been banned from performing at the school after last year's shocking strip tease finale?Our P.E. teacher Miss Gossage still hasn't really recovered....

I did so want to set a good example to my pupils,but after having 5 pilchard margharitas in quick succession,I somehow drifted off into oblivion.....:o

How are you feeling this morning Ms. Nargle?

So due to my fragile state,prize-giving has been set back a few days...though I have a very good idea who will be crowned Dux....her name begins with an 'f'!

Still a bit wobbly, Head Teacher marmite but I will survive. And whoever is responsible for the graffiti in the girls' toilets, I'll have you know it is not true. The navy blue school bloomers were already on the flagpole before I arrived, and the bit about Hubert's stiletto fetish is wildly exaggerated. They are pink with three inch heels, not four. How do you expect a donkey to walk in four inch heels, for goodness sake!

Now off to find Igor, the Cauldron of Doom needs scraping out and all the NSDs putting back in.....get yer toothbrush ready, Igor, there's work to be done........

Nargleblast

And Igor....unchain that police officer, give him his truncheon back and put him in a taxi back to the police station. Minus the pink furry handcuffs.

Happy Sunday all!

Oh,the shame,the shame!

The school will never live it down! :eek::eek:

I believe that Igor hijacked the Cauldron of Doom in order to soak his best pair of longjohns!He wants to look all spruce for prize-giving apparently. I'll let you sort it out dear colleague....:(

I think that I have to go and lie down again....

How is your head this morning Ms. Nargle?
