    Yesterday was my 17 NSD - I'm really happy this is going so well. I've even said no to a 99p book on ebay :)

  • (coq au vin today and chicken and mushroom risotto on Wednesday) .

    You're making me hungry now!! Love a chicken and mushroom risotto!

    Anywho, I managed another NSD yesterday taking me to 9 NSD's!! Hoping to get another today to hit my total. I'll then be looking to up my target as I should have an opportunity to not spend a few times in the final week.

    Has someone managed to calm Noah...I mean Igor down. I know he was growing attached to those animals.

    I'm sorry Igor, but the animals can't stay since you "got rid of" the brussel sprouts. Turning them into a Semolina and Sprout flan wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I said they had to go.

    I guess that means we need to heave some more stuff overboard to make room ready for new passengers? Best to do it before they arrive - not sure we can expect them to try and dispose of all the left-overs from Igor's creations before they have somewhere to put their shiney new NSDs.

    I have a confession to make.

    I ran away because I was ashamed of my hideous grocery spending.

    I have been frittering again.

    But in the midst of that, I have captured 3 more NSDs. :D

    Which takes me to... hang on a mo while I check where I had got to! :rotfl:
    It takes me to 10!

    10/10! woohoo! :D:D:D

    I think the concoction containing the first will result in the second

    Even more reason to get rid of the following items:

    Sheep
    Shetland ponies
    Reindeer
    Polar bears (bears? Where did those other six come from? Hubert!!!)
    Country and western bands with dodgy cabaret costumes.....naming no names, but during Oktoberfest they were hijacked by the Berliner Polizei
    Twenty six foot high poles, dancing for the use of
    Thirty pairs of assorted stiletto shoes

    I mean, don't want to frighten off potential new members, do we?

    How dare you insult Igor's Great Aunt Semolina! Expect a knock at your cabin door any time once he hears about this.
