    :wave::wave::wave: Yep, I'm definitely back - the unravelling bit sounds much better the way Squizz isolated it :D

    Lovely time up at my mum's - my brother managed to come round (house renovations :eek:) with his cockapoo puppy, who is **adorable** :) and I saw the wonderful DT and the fantastic gilliagansyle :) we all got very soggy indeed, and I suffered a wee bit afterwards, I confess, but a play with the puppy the next day fixed me right up again :)

    So, back here, and the journey back was delayed on all 3 trains, so I needed to chill & I haven't done much. Did get to Sainsbo tho, and played the system:
    - stocked up on the wine I take to our games evenings, as I had one this Sunday (cancelled now, bah) £10 for 2.
    - 2 minibottles at £2.39 each, £3 for 2.
    - goodfellas free pizza arrived - I decided to let myself be glutenally intolerant for a night :D £1.34.
    - double nectar points voucher.
    - put back a YS salad, as I'd bought the makings (ooh, I felt virtuous :rotfl:) and when I made the salad, I actually opened one of the containers of sloe and apple chutney I'd made :D its got a helluva lot of sugar in it (for me) and doesn't taste very sweet - I think it might be better in a lentil thing :cool:
    - my mum gave me my birthday money early :D and I went to another town locally to check the stock - I just want a normal little black bag, as everything else I have is either tiny-tiny-tiny or blindingly bright :rotfl: so that leaves another £25 to play with :j

    Lovely weather here today, and tho I need to go into the local town centre, I *have* to work on the garden - discovered more dog poo, and its not the big Alsatians next door, its a chippy little thing thats crawling in under the fence at the back, I saw it the other day - nice dog, but not nice poo _pale_

    Any advice on how to dog proof a garden so the dog stays *outside* would be welcome!



    ETA - oh, and I listed a few books on amazon that I'd got fed up of seeing and never looking at - and I just sold one! So definitely a trip to the post office today, hurray.

  • Hi KC

    All sounds good. Just make sure you post the book basic signed for. The first book I sold supposedly ever arrived and they want their money back funny but I never got it back either and it had my address on the back :mad:.

    Sounds like lots of fun! I am going to have to investigate what a cockapoo is though :rotfl:

    Welcome back KC,

    so glad you had a lovely time & managed to meet up with some DFW legends :D.

    Nice bargains too, I used my double points voucher today too & have nearly £10 on the card, not bad considering I don't actually go there too often.

    As to Dog problem, do you have any bricks or planks of wood you can butt up against the fence ? I believe it's actually the owners responsiblity to make sure the wee beastie can't escape & cause a nuisance with it's offerings. I know you're not usually confrontational, but you could maybe approach owners ?

    Good luck & glad you're back safe
