    Thanks @cathybird for the thread. 

    A NSD here for me :) 

    Someone hit my car when it was parked up yesterday, they know they were at fault and are going to pay. I do however have a scratch I did myself and I have asked for a quote, while the other body work is being looked at. Waiting to hear back on both. Reminding myself worse things happen :)

    Hello all! Can I put myself down for 18 NSDs this month, please?

    I have a week off next week, so may need extra wiggle room :) Not a NSD today either - picked up a little wooden bowl in a charity shop for 20p!
