    :wave: @ bob and everyone else.....

    G-J....beginning his nomadic trek through the threads as everyone seems to have deserted the nightowls......
    ......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D
  • Belatedly waves back to G-J.:hello:

    Apologies but haven't had a minute to myself for a couple of days and i have drunk so much tea i am awake again:o

    I have been a tad overzealous with my online banking and have been locked out again:confused:Is it not the norm to check at least twice a day i ask myself:cool:

    I have of course been spreading the good word of Martin to all who listen and hopefully some folks will no longer be paying exhorbitantly for gas, telephones etc..there is a choice out there and it really maddens me to see folk being ripped off.

    Had a baking spree on from stock cupboard, as heard the familiar bleat there is nothing in. One spag bol, pile of scones [cherry ones] twinks hobnobs, home made loaf and powdered millk used to make a pint;)just for extra tightness:rotfl: Proving that you can fill hollow legs from nowt in the cupboard and still have money left ..put that one in for Shaun;)

    Other than that have a little update to make tomorrow when DD's go out..if they let me back online banking that is.


    So i may have a lie in tomorrow if i don't sleep. Off to read Harry Potter for the umpteenth time..

Old git.
