    NSD for me today, though only because i've stayed in all day waiting for a delivery. Hands up who thinks it arrived...

    :wave: Afternoon lovelies!

    Well I'm sitting here scoffing a dark choccy Bounty as we speak...

    But that's the only thing I bought today and I took SkintSpice's (I think!) advice and bought a multi pack so there'll be no more shame faced choccy confessions for me for the next couple of days! :D

    I'm terrible for bribing myself with chocolate.

    You know what it's like - you come in from work and you've got tea to cook, laundry to do, dishes from breakfast to wash. (oops!) homework to help with, kids to nag to get everything ready for school / work the next day etc...

    Plus the cat is following me round miaowing cos he wants a bit of fuss...

    The eBay listing I need to do is never going to happen on top of that lot without a little bit of an inducement! :p

    So really my Bounty Bras are very MSE / DFW when you think about it. :D :dance: :o:p :embarasse :rotfl:

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    No, I was arguing against that advice - think that was Moz - it's just my quotes went all funny! It's good in theory but doesn't work for me due to my lack of willpower!
