    :hello: Evening all NSDers xx

    Well Tuesday brought me up to number 11 but I did catch myself out yesterday morning :( Went 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 well :D and many thanks to Marmite for doing all the updates :D

    (A marvellous job with or without the abacus;))

    See you all tomorrow xxx

    Out at yet another meeting last night so didn't have time to log in and post NSD# 16
  • 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!!

    All hail to thee BigMumma, Godmother of the NSD challenge, Sacred Guardian of the NSD Roll of Honour and Chief Scrubber of the Cauldron of Doom! Your flock have long missed your presence and your wise proclamations!

    Now get the kettle on, it's your turn to make the tea!

    It's good to see some things haven't changed :undecided ... giggle.gif

    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 for :) There'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 good-morning-coffee-cup-smiley-emoticon.gif
    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 :o ) I still need petrol anyway... pondering-smiley-emoticon.gif ... 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 :p
    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 army-salute-chick-smiley-emoticon.gif
