    Ah-harr me hearties! Stand by for the ship's rules.....as decreed by Captain marmite who cannot be with us at present on account of being indisposed....( Igor, I knew it was a mistake to let the captain control her own rum rationing..)

    All crew to keep their eyes skinned for pirate varmints on the high seas, ancient treasure, and NSDs that just might be swimming past.

    All crew to deposit said NSDs into the Cauldron of Doom, which is situated on the starboard deck near the heads.

    All crew using the aforementioned heads to limit the use of toilet paper to one sheet per visit. We have limited supplies due to an unfortunate accident with a pilchard and marmalade vindaloo.

    All crew to report at eight bells in the morning for allocation of ship's duties.

    All crew to report to medical officer (Mrs Doyle) once daily for a dose of prune purgative. Got to keep the crew healthy!

    All crew to report to First Mate Nargle at sundown for the daily rum ration, which will be dispensed according to how many NSDs have been acquired that day.

    No use of the F word (please report to captain marmite for explanation.

    The wearing of chest wigs, stiletto heels, lederhosen, donkey spanx and Spongebob Squarepants wellies is strictly prohibited.
    (Hey, who inserted that bit about the wellies???? My speech has been nobbled!)

    Now, strike up the accordion and let's have a merry jig for our first night at sea!
    One life - your life - live it!

    No NSD for me today. I was doing good until I found out I had a staff meeting.
    I finished at 5 & so I had an hour to kill before the meeting started...I brought myself
    a light snack and a drink since I wouldn't of had anything until 8pm since my lunch at 12 and donughts for my family. Then after I brought a cup of coffee 'cos I needed it after today.

    Hope tomorrow will be an NSD.
    I won't count today's bus fare as an spend though because for me its a necessity to get to work.

    Good luck to those trying their hardest & well done to those who achieved an NSD!
