    Jo - sending you calm vibes

    Budgies news set me off yesterday and Shaggy's rainbow bridge picture did it again today.

    I have decided to rehome my piggies. I keep going back into their room to look at them and thinking if I am doing the right thing but then I am not at the moment exactly looking after them as well as I should. I need to contact this lovely rat lady who can probably find them a suitable home. See - now I am setting myself off.

    Anyway, busy day here I really need to: take DD to Mr T to get her some school clothes and other clothes, hopefully I have enough left from the vouchers to get something for me as well. School shoe shopping to do as well, get washing up to date and yes piggies do need a good mucking out and so does the kitchen. How does it go? Better get shufty on...

    ETA: August was first month in a year when I didn't take part to the challenge and had a slip up so Shaggy (thanks for scoring for September) could I go for the full monty please.

    He also talks to himself under his breath and shouts 'yesssss!!' every time something goes right on the computer :undecided

    Jo - be calm, be calm..........:rotfl::rotfl:

    Shoppy....recipe for Nasi Goreng (my version;))....drive to Lidls, buy big bag of frozen Nasi Goreng mix....cook as instructed. Lob in couple of prawns and chuck some omelette strips on top!:D

    Haven't got that for tea now. Was halfway to Lidls when realised didn't have a pound coin for trolley, or any cash I could get changed either....so diverted to Mr T's instead!:rotfl: Spent FAR too much money and just had almighty wrestle with freezer contents to get everything in!

    Lurks....are you mad!? I looked up Shredding a little while ago and it made me feel knackered just reading about it! Gonna stick to my exercise bike instead!:rotfl:Am so tempted to go and join the Gym round the corner...only £16.99 a month but theres a £30 joining fee and I just don't have that at the moment. Will have to wait. :(

    Anyways, off to clean up as Dad rang to say he's popping in lunchtime....don't want him to think his daughters a complete slob!:rotfl:

    in most Mr Ts and Mr Ss and the only other 'special' thing you need other than the normal ingredients is some kecap manis:

    which you only need a little of and lasts for ages.

    hey chaps quick toot in at lunchtime
    (waves up to you all)

    Huge hugs to budgie xxxxxx our thoughts are with you and the family. xxxxxx Here's something for your heart to hold on to. xx

    Declaring (and I can't quite believe I'm saying this but....) declaring 28 AFdays for August.

    Been on tablets for most of the month, so its imposed AF-ness rather than any genuine will-power - but drinking has been an aboslute no no. Skins not any perkier yet and I'm still feeling like a sleeping monster................early day's yet though.

    Dare I ask who's scoring in Sept ETA thanks SHAGGY can I be TARGET FREE PLEASE :) - I'm out of action for scoring until Jan I'm afraid - but I'll happily volunteer early next year.

    Hugs chaps - welcome to newbies - between the wine, head battles, snacking and will I drink/won't I drink - stuff - we're all in a pretty similar place xxxxx
