    Well that's me finished. DD has collapsed on the settee/sofa/chaise longue
    (that's all areas covered :wink:) so I will have to wake her up.
    G'night all. Sweet, and peaceful, dreams to those who need them.
    See you tomorrow
    - and sexymouse and Mof477 missing you both!

    But of course!

    I don't need any excuses - I go!

    Well seeing as you've finally done your online banking :D presumably you can go along safe in the knowledge that your application for a second mortgage to fund your Ikea habit is in the post ;) . I'll look forward to hearing all about it... (are you sure you can't do my stuff while you're there :) )

    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.

    I have a rabbit in solitary confinement!! I went round to my mothers and borrowed a dog crate! I am so sick of him trying to kill his brother I decided the randy little hair ball can just stay in solitary until the 5th when he is CASTRATED!!!! .. Said in BIG letters so he can hear me.. I have considered slapping him on the kitchen counter and removing them myself but decided it might make a mess of my granite work surfaces.. and they are so sticky I might not be able to get him off!

    Anyhoo.. I guess you have all retired to your nests so I suppose I should go find mine..

    nighty night xxxxxx

    Morning all

    Another grey grey day this morning. But, weather is supposed to be getting better which is just as well because Air Festival starts tomorrow. Right, need to get a move on. Bath, wrap another ebay sale that someone's paid for and then off to work.

    Have a good day ladies
