    I have a joke to share

    I never remember jokes and don’t have a sense of humour really but here goes – if it made me laugh it might make you lot laugh…..

    What did the slug say to the snail?


    Want a big issue, mate??!!



    (noting that slugs are the poorer version of snails whom own their own houses!)

    PS apologies – gardeners joke J

    i love lobster but can't remember the last time i had any, nearest i've come is crab sticks and we all know how far away that is.
    I'm having a struggling to keep my eyes open day today which isnt' good considering i have a drive to the otherside of the county coming up in an hour. oh joy!

    had the most exciting night

    Got home from shops about 9pm and there was a big dog in my street who kindof chased us into our house!! We soon realised he wasnt going away and he was stalking us!! Was really scary even though he was a beautiful looking doberman who looked friendly enough.

    Problem, dd had no credit in her mobile, my phone was trapped in car and I couldnt get the internet to work. Eventually dog went away and I ran out and got bag with shopping and my phone and got back inside just in time for dog to come back again and stalk us.

    Eventually I decided to call police station as it had gone on for hours. About half an hour later a car showed up but dog started guarding house and they were bit scared so stayed in car and called for back up.

    4 (YES, FOUR) police vans later, about 10 - 12 police and another hour and they managed to catch the dog, eventually load it and take him away. whole thing lasted 4 hours and eventually ended at 1.30am!! I am very tired this morning :(

    I have some photos and will post tomorrow along with a very funny dfw ending to the story!!

    So here is the story in pics....

    just popped in to say a quick hello and update my signature
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
