    Hi everyone. I'd like to join too if it's not too late?

    I'd like to shoot for 15 NSDs and 1 3 in a row.

    (Hope I've got that right...) :)

    2nd was NSD #1

    yesterday (3rd) was a spend day, as I paid admission for OH and myself into a food festival (he drove his car to get us there/back, so the petrol cost was his)

    today (4th) is NSD #2 as I've been nowhere and not looked at any website I might be tempted by

    Hello everyone,

    Hope you have all had a good bank holiday weekend (whether you have been at home or working).
    Friday - NSD number 1
    Saturday - bought a bed. Our mattress has collapsed on one side and the divan drawer is broken and one of the feet have broken!!
    Sunday - bought Hubby two bottles of beer, to put away for his Birthday which is coming up soon.
    Monday - bought a headboard for the bed (paid for out of my £2 coin collection) and a rucksac for hubby's birthday ( from money already saved).
    Tuesday (tomorrow) will be a no spend day - so I am declaring it early (NSD number 2)

    Would you like our jack-of-all-trades Igor to have a look at your Hoover?

    I hope you enjoy the challenge.Any questions at all,just ask,though there is a helpful post on the front page (post #2).Remember that no-one has the same rules,some count all spends,some don't count budgeted spends etc.
    Now,do we have a spare teacup for you?Let me go and ask Mrs. Doyle,our housekeeper...and maybe she has some of that nice cake left. :)

    Oh dear. It is indeed a silly thing that I have done. I went onto Yootoob and found the Father Ted version of My Lovely Horse.

    Igor, you and Chef have got some rehearsing to do, and that does not include Chef singing Bork Bork Bork Bork as the bass line. And if you want to sing the melody I suggest you get a tighter pair of trousers. Back to rehearsals, boys! (My Lovely horrrrrse, my loveleeeee horse....)
