Charlie won!
:j :T :j

I am so grateful for your support and for voting each day and for those who passed on the link to friends and family.

You are wonderful people who I'm proud to call friends.

Here's the smile I got as reaction to the news

and i never even noticed any links to anything

Hope you do a scan of the pic, (even though i never voted twice a day)

Wel done hun:T

Burlesque_Babe

yep - once it's done (probably October time) I'll scan and upload

EDIT: just had another lovely email from her to say thankyou for promoting her website so much and to say how much she will enjoy doing the portrait as she is a springer owner herself.

Just been sorting house insurance, got it down from £20 a month to £12.77 a month when it switches over mid month plus £68 cashback from quidco.

Next to sort is car insurance. Gutted that Norwich Union have withdrawn pay as you drive - I was paying £12 a month. Cheapest i've found is ibuyeco at £199 for the year plus £30 back through quidco but there are some not very good reviews of them.

Money in with one hand and out with the other........

I've invented a new cocktail :beer:

It's called the 'Lidl' :eek: :rotfl:

It's a half pint 99p can of Lidl 'champagne' with a half pint individual carton of Lidl mixed tropical fruit juice poured in (very orange) and a splash-ette of Spanish £4 a litre cherry brandy on top to give it that sunrise/sunset classy kind of appeal! :rotfl: :beer: :j

mmm... sounds interesting and very, very wrong! what's wrong with a nice glass of wine and since when did champagne come in CANS?!;)

Burlesque_Babe

I guess it's a kind of Bucks Fizz really, it's very orangey.

Well, it was...............giggle.....

I'm trying a Lidl pizza base. It's semi MSE as it's a roll of pizza base dough you just unroll and add toppings. It comes with a jar of tomato sauce to use (I only needed half) and it's £1.49. Much cheaper to make the dough I know, but I wondered what it would be like, I've seen it mentioned on American recipes but not seen any here. I've put some (Lidl) serrano ham and some (Lidl) roasted peppers on top - so it's almost a true MSE pizza!

are you starting to get to the "happy" stage BB?

I would be...................but OH will be here in a few minutes so that'll be the end of that! :rotfl:

Okay - caught up! Well done Charlie!

Now, I am so drunk! What I didn't say in my opening post was that I had been up since 4am (again!) DD2 (birthday girl) decided to sneak out of house last night at 3.30am (leaving a coat and a dressing down pretending to be her asleep) to go to a party! I eventually tracked her down at some point today. She was dragged home by DD1 and spent the next couple of hours stressing till I got home.

BUT what really naffed me off was OH decided I was being too hard on her and I shouldn't really cancel her party. I have had a really bad night of it, with DD2 asking if me and OH are getting a divorce and me downing full bottle of wine and a chinese (how on earth do I explain that one at SW!!)

After two days of early starts I am really tired and emotional (and now drunk) god - teenagers!
