    Woop Woop hello NSD 4/10!

    All thanks to OH if I'm honest, I was clamouring to go to the pub for a drink when I got in from work yesterday, but he gently reminded me we are trying to save, and we have gin in the house. So we stayed in and watched Marco polo. :D

    :hello:Evening all NSDers


    Well, I managed to get to the petrol station on Thursday :jdownside was it meant it wasn't an NSD :rotfl:

    Got up to number 4 yesterday as although I went out for a coffee with the girls they paid which was nice :D. It will be my turn next though.

    I am at work until nine tonight and really shattered and don't want to lose an NSD but really feel the need for fish and chips to eat as soon as I get in and warm me up. I am desperately fighting the urge but am not declaring until tomorrow. I don't want to lose an NSD as I must do a bit of top up shopping tomorrow that I couldn't do on Thursday...........mantra mantra mantra 'I do not need it, I do not need it'

    Will check in tomorrow and let you know

    :hello:

    In the meantime we have plenty of entertainment on board.... eat your own weight in Pringles contest,

    I am a little confused as to how we are going to do this with the remaining seven pringles and a few crumbs? Or have I missed something?

    Didn't you know Igor and Swedish Chef have invented a recipe for home made Pringles which work out at a tenth of the cost of shop ones? And you really can't detect the essence of tripe......
