    See I said you had nearly as many cousins as me pigpen :D Nana is daft as she buys for everyone, sons/daughters and partners, grandkids (us) and greatgrandkids (lots of) every xmas, easter and birthday, she's nutty and some get booby prizes because she gets confused when wrapping, well I think she does as I am sure she didn't think my Dad would fit in 8-9 year olds undies!

    kaz **pleads ignorant** I fling the pots into a tub and sling the boxes so don't know if they are GF but they are rather nice. Hope you are enjoying your Gusto machine as much as us, we tried every coffee the first day we got it and I couldn't sleep until 5am :o

    AnWsMum, I would have died of shock!!! I don't have an OD :D not had one for 8 years, well I do, but keep telling them to remove it off my account so pretend I can't see it!!! I got a 'grown ups' account last year after being a good girl for a while :o

    Well naff all else done apart from WM switch, Lu's got iffy tummy, too much steak yesterday (my fault :o but he likes steak!) DP got wrong for sending me links of pooches needing homes, not yet, he's been told. I think like me he's struggling to get used to only one dog in the house (plus Lu is being very clingy with him) but I don't think I want to take on another, even if a foster, yet.

    Tomorrow I am on a mission, I have a half finished research project for one of my voluntary bits I must get finished before term restarts, so must make some headway with that. I need to also sort the fish tank out which needs a total overhaul! So I best get some sleep. Oh I need to call DHL (thats a reminder for me) because my Tomy order is at their office.

    Night night everyone x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Lil_me.. my nanna used to do the same.. she must have spent thousands.. 6 children, 6 inlaws, 15 grandchildren when she died and 11 greatgrandchildren.. plus 12 other halves of grandchildren.. definitely loopy.. but then she always said she ha dmore money when she was unable to spend than she did when she needed it when she had 6 young children and bills and rent to pay.. something out of balance there.

    Guess I should go to my nest, I have a nail appointment about 10 in the morning so need to be up.
