    OMG - its a sock catastrophe - L please PM me your address I need to send you some socks - I have a present drawer stashed full of silly socks :)

    Molly - I bought them with my first months cutting down wine money - they are 9 bottle of wine equivalents :)
    Took me ages to find my DM's with the flowers - they look ridiculus but I really don't care :)

  • Hmm no stipend payment today (they are processed on Monday's)

    Bank holiday next week - no processing

    The process of elimination would then suggest no pay for 2 weeks

    Rent is due at start of month for me

    (also supposed to be helping brother out with 150-600)


    Like the loaves and the fishes - I am counting on some miracle to occur.

    The flowers will provide :) somehow......

    10 year old beetroot ones do.......:D

    I've been germinating elderly seeds on damp kitchen roll first, then only planting them if they're alive. Lots weren't......

    Happy Birthday she of the stripey socks and the lovely KK
    Happy Birthday tooooooooooooooooo yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuu (AND ME!!!!!!

    KK sorry I missed yours

    Day aside wages and lack of funds improving - thank you all for lovely birthday wishes

    There is a giant lobster (Boris the lobster) being chilled down in the freezer to be cooked and scoffed later on in the manner of a Darwin picnic (SM blanket will be involved!!)

    Thus far: (after breakfast out at the cafe by the ferry - picked up OH after fighting with IT dept at work - the phrase - 'can I have adminstrator rights if you don't have time to install this for me please - seemed to work:D'
    5 pairs socks
    1 pair spotty pj's
    Almost a flower ring - covet it but cant decide if its 'worth it'
    1 paiir stripey gloves
    And a rather lovely pink hat

    1 wonderful handknitted blanket for Darwin (SM thanks!!!!!!!!)

    As the lobster is the size of my puppy - anyone up for supper?? I have taken a photo and will terrify you with it at some point. :)

    I love seafood - as I don't like cake (bleurgh) I get a special treat.

    Waves to all - money is :mad::mad::mad: outwith my control - I mean who can manage if they don't 'happen' to be paid for 2 weeks after pay day - not many folks .grr grr grr
