    Afterwards I did wonder whether he was married and whether he showed any emotion to his wife, I also wondered whether he cracked his face whilst having a 'bit of the other' ;). Wonder what he's like on a night out?

    :rotfl: Doesn't bear thinking about MoT :rotfl:

    Actually, I phoned to make an appointment to have a routine gynae appointment :o you know the sort, It's been six years since my last one (:confused: at my age I thought they'd be more often) And the receptionist said "you'll need blah blah blah and to abstain from sexual intercourse for 48 hours beforehand" I'm sure she thought I was mad when I laughed. :o

    Popeye asked if that would be a problem :rotfl:

    No Beanie I'm not going, are you off to the meet then?

    BOB, I must admit to thinking that the psycho was probably good because he showed no emotion but he was creepy though :eek:.

    Maybe he thought it might be best to abstain from the use of any 'toys' Olive :rotfl::rotfl:

    Well I've put the base coat on the walls and haven't ruined the new carpet :j :j

    Do you want my paint lid Ampersand?

    Struggling to pay off Popeye's cc. Until his money arrives (and there's always a chance it won't arrive for a week:eek: ) I daren't use my account, because the mortgage would blow the overdraft limit.

    And I can't do the on-line banking from the joint account because the card reader or the screen aren't recognising my card. :confused: Due the 6th of March - how late can I leave it?

    I think I'm going to pay a bit, not the whole amount, from my account.....

    Well done for getting that coat of paint on Olive!

    What a dilemma about the money, that's the sort of thing that keeps me awake at night and turns me into a gibbering wreck :o

    I've paid £100 from my account, I shouldn't get a late payment fee but I may incur interest.

    The cc bills are arriving and there's the sound of a flock of chickens coming home to roost. :o


    But I did enjoy the holiday. And we've bought Popeye's flights for June :j (there was a special offer, closing tomorrow :D )

    So he's home at Easter :j , and again in June :j . I have to buy a flight for me in May :D and therefore the DF day is put back but who bluddy well cares :D


    (Well I do, but I prefer seeing Popeye more often :D )
