    Well - I go out for the day and here you are with a 3-pages-already-spanking-new-rivalling-hypno's-for-chat-and-biccies diary! Way to go Strumpet. We're just across the Pennines from you in the Capital of the North (well we like to think of it that way - though for some strange reason Mancunians seem to disagree :confused:) but I am originally from the North West (a Cumbrian lass) - and my sister lives over in Kendal - at least she does until she disappears off to a Scottish Isle someday soon! In fact OH is over there right now - well a bit further north visiting her folks on the west coast. Small world. :D

    Keep up the good work - am soooooo happy to have another diary to follow! :beer:

    Think I'll give the biccies a miss if you don't mind Strumpet - I don't want to give myself indigestion (well, I have troffed on chocolate, cheapo Lidl ice cream and Lidl pizza with extras added by me). Daren't eat any more.

    Well!

    Just been out for that curry - £13.50 so that wipes out the wedding money and a little bit more. To be honest, I waish I'd not bothered. The curry was lame to say the least and it did nothing but rain the whole time on the way back. A lesson to be learnt - I didn't need the curry and I didn't enjoy it either.

    Nasty rain! Glad I got ALL my washing dried this afternoon.

    Off to bed now with a good book! Won't be around much tomorrow but I'll leave the biccies in a tin on the side in case you pop in and fancy a nibble.

    Thanks for all your kind words about my diary. When I get sorted, I'll post the SOA.

    Sweet dreams tout le monde!

    Horace was my nickname at school and I used to have an Uncle Horace too:j

    Just popped in really to see if Strumpet has done his cleaning - he hasn't because there are crumbs all over the sofa:rotfl:

    Surely bell-ringers are required on Sunday mornings?

    Sorry the curry wasn't worth it.
    I love curry, and we were so regular at our local curry house they sent us a wedding present :rotfl: :rotfl: But I've almost given up going :sad:

    Where is everyone? Must've been a wild night at Strumpet's! Just back from my dog training - great day and £170 better off. Would that I could repeat that a few more times a month!
