    Good mornng to all your Royal Fabulousness's ( not quite sure about the spelling there, but 'tant pis' as they say over La Manche :D.

    Hello & welcome to the madness B.O.B :hello: also a big fan of the marvellous Blackadder :D

    A fabulous half hour watching Shooting Stars in bed ( I just love the randomness - it makes me laugh out loud) followed by a very long sleep has returned my humour & rationality to its normal tip top levels :cool:.

    Thanks for helping to put it all in perspective Z :A & I'm now off to gen up on the world of Jordan :rotfl:

    Gropey is still on holiday & apart from being a bit 'huggy' has never been inappropriate, so best make it clear that he is innocent. Grumpy on the other hand is clearly keen for a bit of extramarital but so far in a humourous way. He has apparently been telling Cockney-Rebel that he'd be 'up for it' :eek: ... so if he ever make a suggestion again I will make sure I use Z's excuse of him not having enough money - particulalry stinging as he co owns the company :rotfl:.


    It's been ages since I popped in on a saturday morning with a list of tasks to achieve over the weekend & I need to get back into it, so here goes :

    -[STRIKE] Strip the beds[/STRIKE] Done & also remade - how good am I :D
    - Laundry ([STRIKE] about 5 loads _pale_)[/STRIKE] 2 down - 3 to go

    - [STRIKE]Hoovering throughout[/STRIKE] Done :D
    - Washing all floors

    - [STRIKE]
    Cleaning the bathroom ( left over from last weeks chores so absolutely essential to avoid a telling off from Souk :p)[/STRIKE] You could eat your dinner from it, it's so damn sparkly now :D

    [STRIKE]Filling the car up with fuel - using Tatco voucher [/STRIKE]Done :D

    -[STRIKE] More cat food for lazy murderous beastie[/STRIKE] yes & some treats too, spoilt murderous beastie

    - [STRIKE]Shopping for fruit, milk & veg ( & chocolate as not eating it has made zero difference to my weight loss) [/STRIKE] Yes to all of that + a few extra bits fell in my trolley too :whistle:

    - [STRIKE]Remove fly corpses from windowsills [/STRIKE]Done

    - Wield hedgetrimmer in the general direction of conifers without slashing through the cable.

    [STRIKE]
    - Start making plans for where to put veg plot.[/STRIKE] I have plotted & am going to make a list of what I want to grow this eveing :D


    Right, the first load of washing has finished so I'd best get dressed & venture outside ...

    bye for now

    Good list and I'll know if you have a mucky bathroom!!!! Just got more ebay money! All bids in so anything that's not sold is going in the charity bag. I'm having a right lazy day today, doing not a lot except sorting through my music and putting it all on my laptop. Have a good one X

    Hi Taxi,
    thanks for popping in & how are you today my lovely ?

    Souk - fear not my bathrom is super shiny & sparkly now :D. I have even cleaned out the nasty grooves in the window frames , there's no fan in there so we keep the window open all year round to aerate & it gets rather yucky.

    I've ummed & aaahed & decided to be brave & hang 2 wash loads outside. It's very difficult to get it all dry inside without the help of radiators. Our place is small & I hate having laundry draped everywhere so out it's gone. Will have to run if it starts to rain.

    While out there I surveyed the garden & have decided where to put the veg plot. I'm actually really serious about doing this, which is quite surprising as I usually just have a brilliant idea & never carry it through :o.

    Right, DD is happily watching our latest lovefilm offering ( Alvin & the Chipmunks & it is quite funny) so I'll get on with my chores - washing floors is next & then venture into the outside world for money spending.

    By the way, has anyone heard from Horace lately? she seems to have gone AWOL :(

    Right I've done sweet FA all day except a bit of film watching and music sorting. Need to do my basic cleaning now and hoover and do my floors. I could also do with a shower and then I think it's wine o'clock!

    Bob - we're all F**KING FABULOUS on The Quest - tis in the rules :D

    Right, I have been a tiny bit spendalicious today & not necessarily in a good way :o.

    I started out with great intenions & my route carefully planned so that we did a circuit & no doubling back. Started off at Tatco to fill up & suffered the embarassment of realising that I had brought the wrong debit card with me ... but not until the machine told me I had one final attempt at putting the right number in :o.

    Cue hasty thanks that I always carry my big bad Barclaycard with me so I didnt have to leave DD as a deposit. Anyway, £36.66 later we went on our merry way to the petshop & spent £17.48 on a nother couple of months supply of dry food & some treats as well.

    Final call was at Waitrose where I spent £31.06p on groceries, leaving me with £31.35 for the rest of the month.

    I'm not going to lie, I spent another £19.78p in there on bargainous hand cream, makeup wipes ( their own brand ones are only £1.45 & brilliant ) straws, chocolate, magazine for DD a parsley plant for my herb collection & a gorgeous smelly candle for the kitchen .. reduced to £6 :shhh:.

    I must now go & transfer some cash over to the Barclycard or else I'm going to have to add that back into my sig :eek:

    Will then throw a meal together & probably return her later with wine glass in one hand & pretzels in the other ( they were bogof so the calories dont count :p)

    So long as it has, and you're not just burying it ready for the next time.

    Jordan is amazing talented. Unlike most talented people, she has two of them. She is also an alternative thinker - i.e. she doesn't, and there is no start to her abilities.

    What more do you need to know?

    How can you do that in a humorous way? He takes his kit off and you start laughing?

    If that's the start and end of his assets, then he's got troubles. Just say you're looking for a young guy hung like a five-legged donkey.

    At least you can't blame those on the cat...
