    Well I was going to order some stuff from M*rks and Sp*rks but their website has gone all FUBAR so I am claiming NSD number 25 instead :rotfl:
    Must use my stash up!
  • Blinking heck....I haven't managed to get near a computer because of Tiddles' shenanigans...mainly using my body as a pillow and exerting gentle pressure via his beautifully manicured (thanks Hubert!) claws if I tried to escape..... :(
    I think that those dratted voles have been inciting him to perform wanton acts of naughty behaviour ie drinking beer and leaving the toilet seat up.
    Igor will have something to say about it.
    On the plus side it meant that today was an nsd. ;)

    If you have also managed to forgo spending today then I salute you. :j
  • Ooh it's me again a further NSD for today so now at 11/12 :)


    Suddenly it looks like I might just make my target after all :)

    I hope so! :D

    Woo Hoo! I'm pretty sure that I have just hit NSD no 20. And therefore I have hit my second target - yea.
    Ummm 7 days to go... I'm off work this week...have somethings planned that will make them spendy day.. Let's go for a new target of 23 NSD

    Marmite my hubby and I are not dishwasher savvy either. The previous owners left it behind. It has taken us 14 months to realise that we have to fill it with salt!!!! Our new one is one of the cheaper models. But not the cheapest because I wanted it to be economical on water and the cheapest ones used 4L of water more per wash. (We are on a water meter).

    I hope you like your prize Gem-gem! :money::j

    I'm glad you've found a dishwasher that was cheap and not a water guzzler. ;)

  • Today has taken me up to 19. Six days left in the month, I will be spending next Saturday so if I can keep clear from Monday to Friday, I'll make it to the target of 23 with one to spare.

    I achieved [COLOR="rgb(139, 0, 0)"]NsD 15[/COLOR] yesterday which I believe was my target! I will try for another 3 this week

    Woo hoo zenshi!I hope you like your prize! :D:j
  • Yo ho ho me hearties! Nargleblast preparing to board ship, after a weekend ashore.......with 2 more NSDs for the Cauldron of Doom, making my score 11 NSDs!
    Knitwitch, matey, are the racing vests ready for the Narglehounds? And have you measured up Tiddles for one as well? Helga and Olga have opened their betting stall, and they are offering odds of 5-4 on Tiddles, making him favourite to win the races this evening! And where is Hubert?

    Ah, there he is, helping Igor train Tiddles - Hubert runs around the racetrack with a stuffed vole tied to his tail and Tiddles chases after him. Trouble is, Hubert's best donkey spanx get ripped to shreds when Tiddles catches up with him....either you need to run faster, Hubert ( and the stilettos aren't exactly helping) ..Or captain marmite will have to root through her knicker drawer again for some cast offs.......

    Hi there Nargle,I hope you had a pleasant and relaxing weekend on shore...I'm afraid Tiddles is a bit unstable...he's only gone and chewed up your favourite 'Top Five' pairs of the appropriately named Jimmy Chews! :eek::eek:
    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. :(
    Well done on capturing a few more nsds! :j:j
    BTW,I fail to see why you think that my beloved lacey,silken and delicate ladies' underthings would in any way be suitable atire for the not so delicate and definitely unladylike nether regions of a large,incontinent,frilly-obsessed donkey. :mad:
    'hurries off to check that her frou frou 'Days of the Week' undies are still in their special drawer.'
    Shrieks are heard in the distance....

    Oh blimey,Knit Witch you have just won your 4th prize! :j:j

    I'm going to have to now put you down as 'Target Exceeded' as there's no 5th target....
    I hope you don't mind. ;)

    Morning, shipmates! Igor, tell Chef I will have the extra special breakfast today, to celebrate the massive killing I made on the vole races last night - that's the Nargle slush fund topped up and overflowing, just in time to go out and replace my designer footwear which was destroyed by that dratted cat. Talking of which smug feline, he is strutting the deck past the extremely-jarred off Narglehounds, who are not happy about being left at the starting gates by an overgrown kitten.

    Igor, take the Narglehounds for a walk and reintroduce them to the delights of NSD hunting.......Hubert, where did you get those voluminous bloomers from, Marquees R Us? And why do they have Wednesday embroidered on them? Oh, because it's Wednesday, silly Nargle......
    One life - your life - live it!
  • Good morning all! :hello:

    Yes.it's Wednesday...not long til Friday! :j

    Glad you see you made a mint last night...where's my cut? ;)

    It's a relief to see that Hubert raided the wrong chest of drawers and somehow got his hooves on your delicate bloomers. :rotfl::rotfl:
    i wonder who put him up to that?
