    Random thought of the day..

    Is it only me that watches too many shows like Criminal Minds or CSI, then goes to work in the morning and try to work out which one of my colleagues is a psychopath in disguise... :o

    No, but I will now.

    I did once have a theory that anyone who did not drink tea or coffee was strange. It was right at the time.

    Bargain of the day...

    Spotted my neighbour outside earlier, honest I wasn't stalking him.. No GG & Tilly, I am not into 30 odd stones beardy blokes..:rotfl:

    Anyway he was throwing away a dining folding table and two perfectly good chairs.. Guess where these have ended up.. Oh yes, they have been swiftly moved to my place..

    Cost to me = nil :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Love it, what a bargain, guess it's about 100 quid that I won't have to spend..

    Have a great weekend & enjoy the sunshine

    Bargain of the year. Well done to you for rescuing the set, I'm glad you got there first. I will never understand people who throw perfectly serviceable goods away.
    Even if you hadn't had them a furniture scheme could have used them.
    Have a good weekend yourself. My weather app tells me rain overnight but sun in the day. It seems too good to believe.
