Hi all, yesterday was a spendy day
Today was a NSD No (lucky) 13 :j
First time I have exceeded target, bring on June!0 -
Just getting back from our holidays and managed another 2 more NSDs that's 7/9 achieved for May
Came back with half our euros left so spent a little here and there but nowhere near as much as I expected. And 4lbs heavier so no scrimping!
No chance of another NSD today, we're off out for Sunday tea - zero in the fridge!
Off to seek out the June thread

A donkey's large bottom is not the best way to encourage nibbling on peanuts,even if said bottom is plastic.... *Knit_Witch wrote: »Igor - why on EARTH did you think Anchovy, Gorgonzola and Scotch Bonnet Chilli was a good Quiche combination (hold on, you say you added Ferret as WELL!)
Don't forget his latest craze of adding essence of wildebeest. :eek:marmiterulesok wrote: »Igor,no,I don't think that egg and gentleman's relish really go together.... :eek: Ok,I will try one of your mini quiches...what flavour did you say it was?
marmite speedily does a runner,hand clamped over mouth,putting a certain Mr Bolt to shame....
marmite sneaks back stealthily,as quiet as a mouse,just in time to see Igor,his face like thunder,scraping out the filling in his mini quiches and replace it with that 'tried and tested' award-winning (huh?) filling of ferret and pilchard.Igor castes his eyes around and chuckles wickedly....
* we are talking about the charming 'donkey peanut pooping dispensers' that were such a hit in Vienna during the recent songfest.0 -
