    And here is number 17 NSD - only one more to go!

    What have you got there, Igor? Ah, a catalogue of mail order brides......Ooh, there's one that looks just like your sister Helga.....even down to the beard full of voles....wait a minute, I recognise that particular vole, it chewed up my best Chewy Jims.....it is Helga! What is your sister doing in a mail order bride catalogue?

    Well, Igor, I can only see a couple of possibles for you.....the rest unfortunately must have fallen out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down....Not saying they are hideous but they all seem to have an inverse ratio of teeth to tattoos......

    NSD 11 today.

    Obviously the gods read my comment yesterday about only having just enough food. Went into work today and my colleague gave me some goats cheese as a gift, so had a goats cheese salad for dinner tonight :)

    Well done jodles16 on reaching target! :j
    Are you upping your target to 22 or leaving it at 20 and going for target exceeded?

    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!

    24th - no spends at all, taking me to NSD #15 and target :T
    25th - no allowed spends
    26th - no spends at all, taking me to NSD #16
    27th (today) is a spend day. D/Debit has gone out and car is in for service & mot.

    Not raising my target, but will continue to try snagging NSDs until month end :)

    Jodles that's an amazing target blown out the water.
    Yum yum to the cheese fest! Sounds tasty.

    As for me, i hit 11/10 yesterday. Needed lunch - as in NEEDED - just to get me through a busy stressful day. So instead of buying it, used my boots advantage card. There is such a thing as a free lunch. (And realised I stil have £25 of points still!)

    I'm going to try for 1 more NSD this week and hope to reach a new target of 12

    Thanks, MIB xx

    Well, Igor, I can only see a couple of possibles for you.....the rest unfortunately must have fallen out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down....Not saying they are hideous but they all seem to have an inverse ratio of teeth to tattoos......

    He told me that after his last rejection,he's not looking for beauty,he's looking for lurve.....

    Helga,on the other hand,is looking for beauty and lurve....and someone who likes voles. ;)
    In fact, I think Hubert has taken over the job of decorating for the Summer Ball so we can expect loads of pink and sparkly.

    Even Chef is planning a pink theme for the food. Salmon and shrimp quichettes, beetroot canapes, that sort of thing......

    marmite rubs hands together with glee.It's all coming together this time.We so need to have a jolly time without disaster...please let us all have a good time this time...

    Ok,so who's wearing what on Friday night?
    I've got a lovely summer dress in delicate shades of mauve with yellow piping and shoulder pads,matching Jimmy Chews and a pretty dayglo clutch.
    I'm having hair,nails,make up done - the works,and am hoping to win 'Belle of the Ball' competition.Not that there's much competition....:p
