“Just Say NOvember; Batten Down the Hatches 2016”.

Toni'sfriend

Thank you all for the hugs and good wishes. I am truly amazed at how kind people are.

C's cough has returned with a vengeance so nobody got much sleep last night. Made up for it by having a long lie in bed this morning. Made another appointment with the doctor. Hope they can do something this time as that's over five weeks he's had it now. Other than that we've spent a quiet day reading.

Didn't spend anything yesterday or today so I have 2 NSD now.

Hoping to get back to some kind of normality tomorrow.

Good Day to you all...


Mumsy and I are at the local library eating up their interweb. I love the sound of screaming children in such a enclosed tiny space as our wee bookhouse.. haha!

Having chased up the lack of wifi in our house with our supplier yesterday evening, the instructions on how to reset our router wiped it entirely and rendered it useless. They are sending a new one with all wires required as they acknowledge their error and will happily discuss a rebate of sorts for being offline once they know how long it took to arrive. Two phone calls, over 50 minutes, and we are now without internet altogether until next week.

We are in the worst place possible for internet anyway and have to share the one laptop connected via ethernet cable as our speed only reaches 0.45 MBs on a good day. This is obviously not good. And there is no indication of it ever improving. :(:(

Extra expense may come in the form of a wifi dongle through a mobile company. Groan.

Spend day for me (NSD yesterday), meds for Granny to help her sleep from a chemist and tea tree oil for me to rid me of a minor skin infection - don't want no chemical nasties thank you very much.

AND I have signed to my friends wee business costing me £60 with a £50 reduction added by her. I want to help her out, can see me getting a little too involved anyway :rotfl: and can see a way of somehow raising funds for a friends charitable attempts in Africa. One can pay for the other so to speak. Watch this space. This is a long term investment controlled entirely by me. Whoop!

Mumsy purchased jogging bottoms, slippers and a wee thermal vest for me today - in my attempt to downsize prior to leaving the country some items were discarded entirely. Now with winter almost upon us, temperatures dropping and our house feeling like a miniature wind farm it's time to wrap up. Aren't Mummys wonderful!

Oh... and a knitting magazine... Which I clearly didn't need. Bad Kat, bad Kat......

Should be NSD's through to Tuesday now when I usually meet my friend although she is easily convinced to be a penny-pincher too so maybe I could get a 5-6 day NSD stretch.

We shall see. :T:T:T

Evening all

Well not an NSD today due to taking DF out for his weekly shop and finding bargain C presents, have separate funds for this and finished two small peoples off within budget saving £13 in the process, grabbed milk and washing liquid on offer and spent a total of £17.90.
Wombled a receipt from the carpark and had 19 points put on card - have no shame!
DF bought 6 bottles of wine/fizzy to take advantage of the 25% off - I have offered (foolishly?) to 'make' him some wine bags so going to find a pattern online and with glitter and glue to hand should save at least £6 - £9.
Nothing spent on food yet and still working from stores and menu plan.
Knitting growing slowly
No exercise today due to running round after DF but will plan some tomorrow
Have a lovely snuggly evening all. Adding hugs to Toni'sfriend

DS came back from school with a £1 coin he'd found on the street. I have trained him well. I'm sure this is just how Obi Wan felt. Or maybe Fagan

Another non stop nsd for me. A day out of work and that's as good as anything, and I find the training quite useful as well. And it's Friday tomorrow.
Today's exercise has been taking dd's old bed downstairs and out into the rubbish in 12 separate trips. Then putting the new bed together.

I was thrilled with the 5p I found on a stroll round the park earlier (leaf scuffing as I went). It went straight into the turtlepig. (Raphael themed piggy bank received as a birthday present).
NSD no.3 for me & cashed out another £5 from surveys.

Very glad I didn't try and push 44.78l on a 45l tank:eek::eek:

So spend today. Fingers crossed I don't find any missing items in the packing. I have been through the list, and I've got everything on it. So it will only be if I've forgotten something. I'll have to spend at the airport once we are through security - LARGE bottle of water. No way to get that through, and I couldn't find a fountain last year at Schipol to fill my empty bottle. I did try, even then:p

Exercise done every day so far, and we will definitely be exercising on holiday:rotfl:

Yesterday and today r spend free days. So I'm at 2. I'm going to aim for military but I'll b happy if I get civilian.

Managed another NSD today. So 3/3 so far.
I also earned an extra £7 cash for a silly little job I did for them.
I had made bread the last two days, but DGD will be disappointed that there are no crisps tomorrow. I have some custard cream biscuits so they will have to do.
I had last nights leftovers for lunch.
Tomorrow it will be soup.

I know I have been :eek: - a few have been in the house but we just killed them but the stinging the dog was the last straw plus DH has an irrational fear of them.


Anyway all sorted - bargain at £45!!
