    NSD 16/16!! Initial target met so could I make it 20NSDs?

    Happy happy Friday!! Love the husky as well, though staffs are the happiest dogs! (Im biased, I have two of the smiley suckers!).

    Off to a local food festival tomorrow, so shan't be an NSD, well I hope it won't!

    Oh what ] and on the bar counter there are even rows of cute little plastic donkeys - get this, you pull their ears and they dispense peanuts from their bottoms.....oh my goodness, we shall certainly be travelling in style!

    I need one of these in my life. OK, OK I am supposed to be decluttering and following the William Morris mantra of having nothing in my life that is neither beautiful nor useful but I feel sure even Mr Morris would see both the beauty and the utility in a peanut-pooping pony.

    But I won't be buying it today. Trying for an NSD. Not achieved any since I hit my low target and added another four days on..and May is starting to run out so I need to forcefield seal my wallet.

    Perhaps a Mrs Doyle egg sandwich clamped in place on each side of me wallet by elastic bands would work. You really need to be in an emergency situation to want to break through one of those!

    Yesterday was NSD #14 one more to go :) Today was not that day though as I had a couple of spends.:( marmite you have done wonders with the Tardis the reek of sprout curry has almost totally gone :T Only to be replaced by egg :eek:

    Yay,one more to go! :j
    In retrospect,egg sarnies was maybe a bad choice,but you know Mrs Doyle....

    I'll keep one back for you,less you'd like more one? :)

    Good luck with the nsd hunt today. :money:

    Actually,I find the safest way to avoid spending is to put all money and cards into a waterproof bag,then immerse it in a container of last year's vindaloo sprouts curry and pop it in the freezer. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I finally managed NSD7 although I have to confess that this was only achieved by using DH's wallet to buy the fish and chips!

    Happy long weekend to those who aren't working. Unfortunately that's not me, thanks to deadlines at work, but if I'm working I'm less likely to spend!
