    All together now:
    "57 today, 57 today, she's got the key of the old folks' home door
    Never been 57 before"
    Oh, it doesn't quite scan the same does it? :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Thanks for all the birthday wishes - and all those candles!! Gosh it's hot!! It's been raining heavy overnight and on & off all morning (so I'm told) so just right for St Swithins Day.

    Hubbie let me have a loooong lie-in today so I did not get up till 11.50 am :eek:

    Glad to hear that MiL is perking up a bit and you have managed to sell her house, Handy

    Hubbie is feeling a lot better today thanks, I think the 3 bottles of Fursty Ferret helped last night !! And I had to join him in a glass of whisky & water. The main swelling is down and there is just the 'solid lump' in there now

    And now I am off to the NSD thread to check out what delights await me there :eek:

    It occurs to me that with all the great food on here, not to mention all the birthday cake! as well as weight loss and dieting being a common subject.
    That Handy should set himself up as the NTN personal trainer.:rotfl:

    I could get you all to come and work in the gardens at Hooray Hall for a week or 3. I promise I would be kind and not shout a lot!:A

    Don't suppose anyone has any really good money saving tips for getting something couriered 400 miles cheaply have they?

    Crikey those cakes were good ................ burp ....... wipes chin ........ doggies were chasing me round waiting for their's :D

    Tixy - I use Parcel-to-Go for anything from 3 Kgs to 10 Kgs or £7.04 next day delivery but for furniture? They also do a pallet service which might be OK for you - worth a check?

    Now down to the last bit of eBaying - I am listing everything to finish by next Wednesday and sating that they must be paid for by Thursday so I can post on Friday before we go away on Saturday

    Back later folks

    . I've had a bit of a look from Numpty's link. Looks like it might be around £70 or so cos it will be heavy and its in blinkin Scotland. :(. Sigh. There goes my perfect kitchen table :o.

    Back to the [STRIKE]drawing board[/STRIKE] ebay search pages.

    Are you having a nice birthday? Are you having something special for dinner? Does Mr 3dogs cook? when he is in pain with his gum?

    Did you tell the dogs no cake for them unless they get you a birthday present :p
