    I've only missed a few days :eek::eek:
    I knew poor wee Igor had had his heart broken but an online bride :eek: Not sure that's the way to go but I guess if he doesn't send any pictures theres still a chance :rotfl:
    Posh frocks and champers yumm yumm... i will have to go and see what lies in scotmums copious wardrobe.:) No more haggis inspired themes though it just made me hungry all night :D
    A prize for the raffle hmmm I suppose I could donate my haggis and stoat fur undermentionables (I've even taught them to sit and fetch :rotfl:)
    TGOB yes that is worrying:eek:Who arranged the band was it nargle ???:)
    Today was not a NSD as DH and I went out for a day trip and bought chips :):)

    He's sent a picture of his sexy knees of course! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Mmmmm your haggis n stoat unmentionables collection...I heard that they were vole infested?Helga couldn't find the wee darlings the other day,and appartently tracked them down to your boudoir behind the bins.No wonder you want rid of them. :rotfl::rotfl:

    Scotmum - I agreed to the band being hired because they apparently play for free, as long as we feed them and supply plenty of beer. As marmite has got a secret never-ending supply of Old Farting Bishop underneath the floorboards in her room (eighth floorboard from the door and just to the right of the antique commode) I thought it was a no-brainer. Apparently Igor told her there was an advert pinned up in the Post Office window, or was it in the local pub? So we have Igor to thank for sourcing the entertainment for Friday night.

    Got a slight feeling of unease, though, the Nargle radar is twitching.....

    I'm just keeping an eye on the remaining kegs of Olde Fartinge....through I do enjoy the odd tipple...
    In the meantime Chef wants to use the Cauldron for mixing up the chocolate for the chocolate fountain, so all the NSDs will have to be stacked somewhere....Igor, muck out the old piggery, will you, the NSDs can go in there. Shouldn't take you long, there are only a few unwanted wedding presents in there.................Igor?.......... Was it something I said?

    We will have a fight on our hands as Mrs Doyle wants to use the Cauldron as a giant tea pot.

    Igor don't sob so.Let's go and see if you have replies online.I'm sure there's someone out there for you.

    Here's a link to the new August challenge.
    I hope you like the prizes!
  • Hi Marmiterulesok,

    This is some job you're doing here. I don't know how you do it between all that CD counting ;)

    Spotted the Aug thread so will join in.

    Update from us - no NSD on Saturday, food shop was budgeted for but OH & DD came with me for a, ahem, family day out in the rain... overspent after finding a few "extras" in the trolley at the checkout. Ah well, cheaper than a day out to some indoor money pit. :)

    Yesterday we went to a friends for last minute Sunday lunch which involved a trip to waitrose en route to get pudding. £9 spent but £10 made from a craft sale to a neighbour so effectively an NSD.

    Think that puts me at 9/10 NSD

    Thanks, MIB x

    Thanks MIB.I helps that I'm not working just now (off sick long term) otherwise it'd be too much I think....
    I discovered a pile of dvds in the bedroom before going to bed that I'd forgotten about. :mad: so not quite finished after all.
    One more to target.Very impressive! :j:j
    Family day out in the rain,oh bless! You've got to laugh....:rotfl::rotfl:

    I've been on holiday, and it looks like I've missed a lot of fun! Despite the holiday, I've managed to hit my 10/10 target, and am on track for 3 in a row (if I manage to not spend today).

    Now to think about what I can achieve in August!

    Guess which prodigal member of the NSD gang has appeared again on the August thread! Chef, nip over there and show freebyfifty your collection of meatballs.....
    One life - your life - live it!
