    Whew, hot enough for a barbecue, Chef! Do we have enough stoatburgers in the freezer? Igor, nip to the supermarket and get as many yellow stickered packs of rolls as possible. What? You want money? Take it out of the petty cash...Yes, the petty cash tin. Marmite 's room. Ninth floorboard in from the door, turn to face the window, go past the antique commode and the life sized statue of Stalin, lift up the floorboards at that point.

    Now back to my latest edition of Booger Off magazine.....

    Car Insurance Carver!
    Up to 7/20 NSDs now, managed to do a lot of spending on Sat, had a baby shower and food shopping so also bought my step mums birthday present, got a gift card a while ago for a place I don't shop so am hoping to get away with giving my baby sister this for her birthday as she is much more trendy than me! Re gifting is fab!

    Jodles :D

  • This nsd malarkey is easy when you've got nought to spend....

    Unless you have a credit card lying about. :o

    In my defence,I can get 19% off all non-prescription items at my chemist's on the 10th of every month,thanks to my loyalty card,so I bought a few items (four to be exact) and had a total reduction of 10.85 francs.Not to be sniffed at.
    No budget this time to cushion to blow.I really want to use my cc as little as possible.
    So now I just have to put my cc back in its hiding place.
    So endeth the lesson.

    Nooooo!
    Cheffie,that's where my 'running away to a desert island' money is hidden!
    How did you know about that Nargle?
    Mmmm,I think I know.What til I get my hands on that incontinent blabbermouth Hubert.....

    Cheffie,cheffie,over here 'clicks fingers'.The petty cash is in Nargle's room.You'll find it in a envelope sellotaped to the back of her chest of drawers...yes,the one with the David Hasselhoff signed picture on the top.Yes,and the spotlights.

    Be careful though and don't set the alarm off....
    You might have to do some kind of fancy 'Mission Impossible' style manoeuvre,you know,being suspended with wires....

    What's that you say, Igor? You looked in marmite's room and there was no tin of money? Most irregular....just off to my room for a minute.....

    .....Igor! Chef! Round up the gang. And tell marmite her presence is also required.

    It appears that we have had burglars in our midst! My slush fund has gone, along with my precious photo of the Hoffmeister, and the scoundrels have even taken the bulbs out of my dressing table film star spotlights!

    Whoever could have done such a dastardly deed?

  • Hello all! I'm here to join the NSD fun!

    A little late but I got here eventually. Since there are 21 days left in August and I'm a complete newbie to this (I can't remember the last day I didn't spend a penny!!! :o) I'm going to aim for a third of the remaining time and go for 7 NSD. Hopefully I can up my goal next month...
