Any farmers out there?? Just went on my farm and most of my animals were wandering around!! Had the odd rabbit move, but there were 2 or 3 rabbits moving, and most of the others are no longer in their pens.

Weird!!

Good Evening . . .

Was stuck at work till 8 tidying up after the a*holes sorry customers had rampaged through the place and dumped half the shop in the wrong place and then spilled coffee all over it AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Anyways came home to find a package of CDs I ordered from America a lifetime ago had FINALLY arrived so I've been having a bit of a rock out to stuff . . .

Off to nurse the other half after work tomorrow night as he has managed to bust the ligaments in ones of his legs and has been told to rest . . . He will be at my mercy lol . . . I can inflict my musical and cinematic tastes on him and put the remote just out of reach . . .

Anyways it's a bit of a feeble £1.26 from me tonight to various tins . . .

Mine aren't out of their pens but some have definitely moved - I always have them facing the same way and they're turned round. Odd....

£1.15 PAD for me please Sarah.

Just 7p today thanks.

Well that's my Vodafone contract now gone. Have now switched to Asda PAYG. I had to buy another phone as the very old one I had was only OK as a stopgap. The savings from not paying line rental etc should pay for it in 3 - 4 months. I've also now given my garage back to the council. I was only storing clutter in it anyway - at a cost of about £9.50 a week. The garage isn't big enough to take my current vehicle anyway.
That's a lot of changes I've made this year and still money is very tight. It makes me wonder how I managed at all before. Well maybe not. The truth is that I didn't manage come to think of it.



Unsecured debt as of 1/1/09 - £49,801.78
Current unsecured debt - £43,328.13

Hi Paul!
Was meaning to ask if you've started doing scratchcards yet?
This month I have made nearly £300 playing free bingo and scratches. It's a nice little earner for a 5 minutes a day of my time. Hope to see you on there soon!

Good one on the mobile though - Every little helps!

A dentist noticed that his next patient, a little old lady, was
nervous, so he decided to tell her a little joke as he put on his
gloves.

'Do you know how they make these gloves?' he asked.

'No, I don't,' she replied.

'Well,' he spoofed, 'there's a building in Canada with a big tank
of latex, and workers of all hand sizes walk up to the tank, dip in their hands,


let them dry,
then peel off the gloves and throw them into boxes of the right size.'

She didn't crack a smile.


'Oh, well. I tried,' he thought.

But five minutes later, during a delicate portion of the procedure,

she burst out laughing.

'What's so funny?' he asked.


'I was just envisioning how condoms are made!'
