Igor take off that ridiculous beret and string of onions, put down that paintbrush and listen. We have got to get that polar bear off this ship. I don't care how you do it, just do it. Then you can turn your attention to the rest of the flora and fauna that Hubert seems to have collected. At last count it was a sheep, some Shetland ponies and a couple of reindeer.

By the way, where is Hubert, our incontinent, cross-dressing kleptomaniac donkey?

Ohhh please let us keep the polar bear, please Nargle, he's sooooo cute and really doesn't take up THAT much room, and he did eat Igors last pickled herring curry without ill effects saving any of the NSD having to pretend to eat it, so he has his uses

I'm not sure of them either hence I got the starter pack from H&B for £12 (just over half price). I can try them. Almost had a disaster when I went to shake my first ever one but the top wasn't quite on properly. Only just avoided redecorating the entire kitchen a rather fetching chocolate colour.

Anyway, it was alright, it wasn't disgusting which is a bonus. Will probably need to try various flavours and manufacturers to get the nicest ones.

My OH is going on this 5:2 diet and I (stupidly) said I'd do it too. Don't need to lose too much weight but giving it a try anyway!

Whoops to the near decoration :rotfl: and very much :eek: to the 5:2 diet, I deff don't do diets, I'd spend all my days thinking about food (actually I do that anyway :rotfl:) I'm very much in the camp that diets are not sustainable and its more about making small, but permanent changes to get permanent results. I have a friend who is an awful yo-yo dieter - well of course, if you don't eat or only eat veg for weeks, you will lose weight...and then put it back on as soon as you go back to prev habits. Sorry, I'll get off me soap box now.

Was out for a run this lunchtime - brrr, that was chilly, even my jacket didn't come off today and normally I get really hot running.

That also kept me out of the shops so NSD #8 added to the collection :A

Gem-gem

Had another spend day. Went out for a meal with a friend and bought an egg boiling machine - thought as well as using it at home we could also take on holiday and use when we stay in travel"""ges - much cheaper way of having a hot breakfast along with a porridge pot.

Last NSD I claimed was #9 last Wednesday

Since then...

Shopped for non-allowable items on Thursday and Friday

Shopped for allowable only items on Saturday and Sunday, giving me #10 and #11

Monday was a total NSD, taking me up to #12

Today was intended to be an NSD, with allowable spends only.
But it then looked like I was going to lose it, as on returning to the car after I finished shopping I discovered I had a flat which was due to a screw in the tyre
Changed wheels (at least my car has a spare, even if it is only a space saver), then called into the garage on the way home.
But they had a backlog of jobs to finish before home time today, so I left the wheel with them to be done as a 'first job' tomorrow.
That means I retained today's NSD :T
But will lose tomorrow instead
(Did momentarily consider leaving it until Friday which will be a spend day due to an annual D/debit, but DS1 needs the car for work Wed & Thur night and I don't fancy him being on the road without a spare!)
Must remember to order printer inks while I'm spending. The cyan, magenta and yellow all gave out on me this morning, so the only spare I now have is the black I bought a few weeks ago!

Am now on #13

number 13 for me today, nearly there

:hello:Hi there lovely NSD gang, Igor, Hubert and various assorted polar bears and other animals

Well I had my spendy day on Monday in London, ept everything to a minimum and was also organised enough to get petrol before I went and electric when I got back so am all sorted for the rest of the week.:)

That makes Tuesday number 11 and I shouldn't need anything else until the end of the week. I need to buy a train ticket to go up to mum's on Saturday morning but they aren't any cheaper online than at the station so I'll get one there as I need to get the bus from that end. I'll be up there for five days this time not four and hopefully won't be spending anything while I'm there.

Right, I'm off again, see you all tomorrow

:hello:

Happy Wednesday folks!



I'll be back later to update.
