    Ok, its fading a little but I need more help here if I'm going to resist till Thursday and I'm on the flight home
    Okay they're a new fun toy now and you'll be paying new fun toy novelty prices, BUT give it a few months and they'll have come down in price, and more importantly any software bugs will be ironed out. I wanted one to, but I have a phone that can do loads of stuff and I don't use half of it, I prefer to read books as in actually hold them.

    Stick the £500 in a high interest account and when the price comes down you'll get it cheaper and have what ever cash you didn't use, plus some interest and you won't have Chinese people jumping off tall buildings on your concious http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1282481/iPad-factory-suicides-China.html which was one of the reasons I've decided not to save up and get one.

    PDD pass the rain over her its 29 degrees in the house and I'm melting!!! BMF glad you're back, sorry to hear you've not been feeling so good, docs never listen (((hugs))). Just looked at all the outings dates for this month and I'll miss all of them cos I'm off on my hols next thursday and not back until beginning of August cray2.gifI'll look forward to reading what you've all been up to when I come back, anyone fancy looking after Chompy the dragon for me whilst I'm away? He'd be good for torching the chavs if they get out of hand, drying clothes if it rains etc.

    Welcome Beanielou and all the other new peeps, hugs and congrats to everyone where needed, only had a quick skim through the posts today so forgive me if I've missed any important news. Have been trying to pack and sort stuff out, mow lawns etc so not had time to read everything, will try and pop pack later and read everything again. Got 2 more NSD's taking me up to 11 so could you please update my total Spoony :)

    Ok then 3Dogs, where are you taking us all on your birthday? It will be one more because Beanie has joined us (I know what you are going to say, there goes the neighbourhood and all that, but it takes all sorts!) so make sure you chuck a wee dram or six into the back of the wagon...

    He's more than welcome here - and will probably fit in just fine, as the house is already over-run by hundreds of Pocket Dragons :)


    Declaring today as NSD #8.

    Not been near a shop, and they close in 10 mins - so no chance of getting there even if I needed anything, as I'm currently eating tea having not long since finished mowing all 4 (!!!) lawns ;)
