    went shopping today

    plan was to hit 4 or 5 shops and pick up 8 items, 3 of which would lose me an NSD. one of those was from shop 1, one was from shop 2, and the third was from shop 3 (shop 5 if they didn't have).

    got the NSD loser from shop 1 - only to find that shops 2, 3 and 5 didn't have what I wanted. So I lost an NSD for a multipack of crips that could have waited until Thursday (my next planned spend day).

    Oh yes, gimme gimme.....but don't tell jodies - you know what she's like with sour cream Pringles, complete personality change, starts getting into fights and swearing and all that, still paying off the loan we had to take out for her last lot of bail money.....So I had better look after the Pringles, then?

    Despite being back in work today, I've managed to make it 5/20 and 5 in a row....I suspect a large part of those in a row were due to being ill though! Still, can't complain! Even if it did mean I had to have the most disgusting packet soup ever (that has lived in my work drawer for ages) for lunch lol That'll teach me for leaving my lunch on the kitchen counter...though I did remember to make sure the other half had his lol

    Hello everyone, I will lining up for some pringles, hope they are sour cream...

    They are indeed - the best flavour :D (though I did pack a few others for [STRIKE]wierdos[/STRIKE] lovely people who don't like the green ones.

    Greetings and salutations ladies and gentleman...and Igor.

    I've been rather lax in joining these festivites over the last few weeks due to being away from the computer for a while.

    Due to the magnificent Aberdeen playing at home on New Years Day (We are top of the league I say we are top of the league :dance::dance::dance:) it was a spend day for me, as was the 2nd due to a shopping trip and seeing The Theory Of Everything (Eddie Redmayne is definitely in with an Oscar shout). HOWEVER...both Saturday and Sunday were spent indoors rearranging the furniture with the OH so signing in to declare NSD's 1 & 2 :T

    Enjoy the view at the top of the league :p (two guesses who I'm watching with my OH right now :rotfl:)

    Well today was a shock, back at boot camp so up at 6am, got a double session as we had to box in pairs, as there were odd numbers I got to do everything twice :eek: If I can move tomorrow it will be a minor miracle.

    Stopped off at L!dl on the way home tonight to get a few bits incl cauliflower for cauli rice (attempt to reduce the carbs) but they seemed to have very little fresh stuff left and zero caulis. So picked up some other bits (some on list...some not so :o) Picked up the wrong / only cat food on the shelf which I'm not sure mog will eat :doh: but the good news is that came from the house budget so NSD #2 in the bag. Not so good news is I looked at my cc bill today.....:eek::eek::eek::eek:
