    No NSD for me today. My mobile is at deaths door so I have had to replace it with a contract :mad:. Only 2 more days to go and they both have to be Nsds to get to my 2nd target :eek: I can do it , I will do it (maybe !!!) Got a bad cough now too so I'm hoping the African sun will help it, maybe even one of Igors lovely dinners would help. You know the old saying cure or kill :D

    Hi

    I'm declaring 2 more NSDs =10/10 NSDS. THIS MEANS I've met my target.
    These were 25 and 29 January. Had a bit of help with today's NSD as I was unable to get to work due to snow.

    The buses were stopped very early, then a limited service but didn't include my bus and now all bus services are suspended and it is too far to walk from my place to work.

    This is the first time I've been unable to get to work in all my working life, a disadvantage of moving further away from the city than where i previously lived.

    With that I shall retire for the month, as the fridge is bare (well, I could probably concoct something I would deem acceptable, but OH is, ahem, less keen on lentils than I am!:rotfl:).

  • I am up to 18. Sunday turned out to be a NSD taking me up to 16 with my second 5 in-a-row of the month. Monday was a spend day, Tuesday and Wednesday were 17 and 18. The next two days have to be spendfree to reach my target and bar any emergencies is definitely doable.

    Yup, I know the feeling on the mobile thing, OH keeps nagging me to get mine sorted out, going to hav to as the Internet is too slow for me to be able to use it efficiently for work.

  • I'm another one with a dodgy mobile phone. Mine is currently held together with duct tape!

    Managed to get through today without spending money so I nailed NSD number 18 today.

    My mobile is 3 years old and in really good nick on the outside but it won't hold a charge for more that a few hours and if I phone someone it cuts out. Texts are taking hours to come through and it is driving me crazy. Got a good contract on a new one although it breaks my heart to spend the money as my old one was a sim only it was really cheap but it really is no use if I cant even call in an emergency. Never mind I will be able to take nice pictures on our safari MEERKATS !!!! I'm not obsessed, who said that ????
