Thanks
S-i-dStill too much debt0 -
FOUND IT! Only thing is something else found it 1'st,dunno if it's Mumma's lawnmower or Dopey's alien's that got to it,just know it's beond repair so gone in the bin:( Damm got to break another pair in. Not rained so far so I'v done washing + got it dryed outside,potted on some geranium cutting's,picked some rhubarb + salad,so now I think I can get away with claiming my 1'st NSD of May 1 down 14 to go.
It was me unfortunately
on the hard shoulder--got some road kill caught up in me rotor & it started to spark the fringing on Dopey's sporran. Luckily, some charming charming motorway patrol peeps had an extinguisher or two on board & got the offending flaming fuzz under control in no time :T PDD wasn't overly impressed at the time, as she was resting her eyes & had been using the offending costumery as a pillow
Had a busy day practising the bagpipes so can report I'm off the blocks for May :j

It wasn't me who went with her own set of pink fluffy handcuffs AND started the row over cheesy wotsitsnames in that swanky hotel bar
Neither was it me who was caught on cctv riding piggy-back & trying to round up those poor constib-bewells with a cheeky tickling whip--was it Curly
Oooh, forgot about that, BigMumma, curly's in trouble next time she shows her face on here:rotfl:The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time
