    Life has been grand today Fay, not so cold and some sunshine! So the Captain and I hacked across the flooded fields, he was a bit worried about the remnants of a snowman, but I think I persuaded him, that it wouldn't kill him:rolleyes:

    He's not a zebra, that's hamster getting confused and with him doing racecaller too,would have thought him an expert on horses :rotfl:

    :confused: All I do is look to the top right and pick four of the most backed :confused:

    He's a Zebra ,,,, :p You said he had a go faster stripe ,,,,,,:p

    weekend update

    Overspent again on the food shop, must work out where I'm going wrong! Did use luncheon vouchers that I got from Pinecone, £9. I'll pay that saving across to the card tomorrow morning!

    I think it's the day tomorrow, when I find out how much I paid to the card last month, see the total coming down again, very excited, how sad am I?

    Also filled the car with petrol at Tesco, still the cheapest one round here and is still doing double points.

    Hopefully tomorrow's the exciting update...

    I really think the supermarkets should work on demagnitising stuff its just so rude when treats are mysteriously attracted to the trolley :D

    Ps glad the scary snow men didn't scare the captain - peedie (my cairn) gets so distressed by them, gives them a good woof and then skirts past them quite widely - bless.
