:hello: Evening all NSDers xx
Well Tuesday brought me up to number 11 but I did catch myself out yesterday morningWent to get electric on the way home but had left the twenty pounds I was going to get it with at home but did have £2 and I bought chocolate :mad:. Put the twenty pounds into my bag this morning as I thought if I got it on my way to work tonight I would keep it all in the same day but got up a bit late and after eating didn't have enough time so will have to do it on the way home tomorrow which will mean another spendy day..............but have prepared and will get petrol too so can keep it all in the one day then at least.
Good to see we are doing so welland many thanks to Marmite for doing all the updates
(A marvellous job with or without the abacus;))
See you all tomorrow xxx

Well, I'm claiming a NSD for yesterday. Had to get dishwasher tablets but that was on the joint account (Igor...you leave my joint alone) and a necessary. 7/15...over half way but going to have to be disciplined for the rest of the month.
I've been really bad this week for spending, especially on my lunches but I'm going to sit down tonight and rustle up a shopping list for the next week and a meal plan too so I can try and arrange breakfast and lunch for the next week and break this habit!!0 -

Now get the kettle on, it's your turn to make the tea!
It's good to see some things haven't changed :undecided ...
Hope you've all brought straws cuz there was only enough milk for one cup; don't worry tho, cuz I borrowed Igor's tip & put both tea and coffee in together & everyone's catered forThere's a bit of rock in Hubert's saddle bag from our trip to Bryton a couple of years ago, if you want sugar.. don't stand on ceremony! Help yaselves
To business... there's 11 days--inc today--left of this month... two definite appts in two other (bigger) towns next week, but even discounting parking (I don't include travel costs for essential appointments cuz they're unavoidable IYSWIM, even if someone else took me I'd at the very least offer petrol money) I still need petrol anyway...
... then there's next month's [STRIKE]debacle[/STRIKE] spend-fest which will add extra temptation to my visits to the smoke... g'won then; put me down for 7 please of Keeper of the Tally
Tis awful hard to plan shopping trips wiv me muvva cuz, although we talk of going "out tomorrow", we rarely shift from the kitchen & lounge :whistle: or I end up on a quick flit to do the absolute bare minimum to keep the wolves at bay :doh: Such is my life at the mo, but I shall do my best
