Nope, it doesn't work with my name... it does with my real name though!

Lady Penelope Poopers....yes, it does doesn't it!!!

michelle - that's what we're going to do. Put his extra money and the direct debit money towards the roof. Then when we've paid that we'll save the money incase ds needs an operation next year. He can't see the consultant he sees on the NHS and there's no other who does what this guy does. From what was said last week though, he might not need another operation...ever! That would be amazing xx

Well I say old chums! Not much of anything has been happening in the Tia household today, not much at all!

Just returned from the corner shop with a pound of butter, some currants and 3 slightly cracked eggs. Met an old chum from my days at the School For Young Ladies, she has married into bad company I'm afraid and the children were dressed like common street urchins!

Goodness golly gosh is that the time?! My Charlie will be arriving home soon and expecting a hot meal on the table I had best be getting off and stoking my range!

nickie - just intrigued as to why you are making an inventory of everything in your kitchen cupboard! Hope it's not your shopping list!

Oh golly gosh poopers, you don't actually go walkies to the shopsies yourself do you. How frightfully exciting. I sent Jeeves earlier for a pat of butter and some raspberry jam as we're having afternoon tea with Auntie Jemima and Uncle Bertie at five. Must rush...need to practice tinkling those ivories for the sing song we'll have later. Choi xx
