    Hello Bob X
    Here is a poem for Shaun....ahem..

    Mary had a liitle lamb
    She tied it to a pylon
    10,000 volts shot up its bum
    and turned its wool to nylon.

    I thank you, Pepe aged 9 ( today! )
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    ....one-way ticket to Portugal booked !

    :T:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Cheered me up that has.

    Been a lousy morning dosh wise.Mr.B informed that he has forgotten that his car was due an MOT and service..£300 later_pale_combine that with my car needing taxing and found a cheap Mot/service deal that is another £160 and car payments( i had budgetted for this, just not his car)..just pass me the bucket now:o Is DD2's 18th on Monday and the party budget has just gone. I feel sick:o

    Will have to see what i can sell as it is really important to me to celebrate her birthday, She has been through so much in her life that not to ..well i would rather cut my right arm off..put it that way.

    So off to fiddle the budget and if necessary dust off a credit card.:o

    Thanks ISOM, I'm getting there! I'm particularly skint at the moment and it's soooo tempting to just ignore the budget but I'm trying to behave myself...

    Oh Bob, I'm sorry to hear about the party budget needing to be spent on the cars..... what a b*gger..... my visit to your thread started so well too, with Pepe's poem to Shaun, which is brilliant. But this is horrible for you. Can Mr B do any of the work on the car himself? I may be showing my ignorance here, what with not having a car ..... sorry.

    An ode to MrBob*

    bobby had a husband
    his name was Mr Bob
    He was really s*** with money
    But at least he had a job!

    Mrs bob despaired
    Cos he was never prepared
    To sort his flipping money
    And just like mrs bob we think that
    mate, its just not funny!

    So how about you get in line
    And act more like a grown up
    Sort your cash and most of all
    You should just try to own up!

    Stop hiding credit cards
    With your head in the sand..
    Its not going away
    Why dont you understand?

    We love our bob, we surely do
    But our hearts go out with frustration...
    having to deal with you!
    We wish that there lightbulb
    Would even just glimmer
    Cos if it just wont
    We're just gonna simmer!

    So help us this easter
    Would you please mr bob
    To sort out your money
    And help with the dosh!

    Mrs bob she is tired
    Of soring it all out
    While you just spend it again
    And apparently on nowt!

    So sort it please mr bob
    Or punishment will be
    A grand turnip lobbing
    Right toward thee!!

    *no drugs were used in the making of this ode!
