The Jumbo-normous January NSD Challenge!

Nargleblast

Another spendy thing going on today, fruit, veg, that sort of thing, just enough till payday. Tonight we are having chilli con carne (no kidney beans so soaked and cooked cannelini beans instead), rice, red cabbage slaw, tomato and pepper salsa, crackers and creme fraiche and grated cheese. Home made fruit cake and custard for afters. That should fill up the resident gannets..

Stop moaning, Igor, told you to dress warmly for going ashore in Russia. Now you have frostbite on your frostbite, it will take a while for the circulation to return to your fingers, perhaps I should give your apologies to the kitchen staff and say you won't be able to show them your method of cooking your famous Brussels sprouts curry. I am sure they will be able to handle the disappointment. No that is not the sound of champagne corks popping, people cheering and music playing, they just have the telly on in the kitchen, that's all.....

Hi all

I'm gently using one of Kerri's poles to put 6 NSDs into The Cauldron. This way I don't have to leave the front of the ship. These NSDs were on 10,11,16,18,22 and 23 Jan. This means my I have 8/10 NSDs.

Went to Bluewater to pick up a book. Then did a little retail therapy!!!! Boots bought with Christmas money. Bought a matress topper, been trying to get one since end of November but JL had sold out. Can't wait to get into bed tonight!
Out tomorrow. Train tickets already paid for. Will take some provisions from home so hopefully a NSD for tomorrow.

Good evening fellow passengers, hope you are enjoying tonight's meal, especially as Igor's sprout curry is off the menu at present.

Tonight there will be a slave auction in the Grand Ballroom. For those who are not familiar with slave auctions, volunteers dress up as slaves and offer services e.g. wash your car, cook a meal, a night's babysitting, an hour's gardening etc. Each slave is auctioned off and the proceeds go to charity.
Tonight's proceeds will go to Swedish Chef's favourite charity, the Sunshine Home for Demented Chickens.

As always, when making your way around the ship, go carefully, on account of the ever-increasing weight of the Cauldron of Doom. I am sure the ship will stay afloat long enough for us to finish the cruise, and we are not far from the end now, calling in at Finland tomorrow, Sweden the day after then a couple of days sailing round Norway. Hopefully we can drop off the various animals Hubert picked up en route, before Igor gets ideas about his next curry recipe.

A mini spend on milk today but no worries, still a few days to go.

Do you not count milk as an essential?Hubert has shyly come forward,but I've told him that he's the wrong sex...:o

Was just about to celebrate a no spend day when my hubby informed me that he went down to the station and bought our train tickets for Sunday. Doh!

Hi, please can I join you?

I started on my own on the 1st Jan and gave myself a target of 20 NSD's, so far I've managed 14 :j so I need to squeeze another 6 into the 8 days we've got left :eek: I've managed 4 in a row once but I don't really know how doable it will be again.

Hi there kdalwayskint and welcome to The Wondrous NSD Challenge! :hello:

Now,you might have gathered that the hardy nsd gang are currently on an Arctic cruise....so grab a seat and join us for a generous vodka cocktail and a breathtaking view of the Northern Lights.

Well done on getting 14 nsds. :j:j

Today has been NSD #14. We had a walk to Mr T and OH paid so it doesn't count as a spendy day :-)
