    I quite like the speedboat.

    I suspect it will be used to dump the real Natty in the sea, Dexter style ;)

    *Edit: that's hump day gallows humour, before anyone thinks I'm serious!

    Hmmm. Feeling a bit discombobulated :cool:. A lot going on, all positive (so far) but in limbo land at the mo, just want it to hurry up and settle down so I can play with my spreadsheets :rotfl:.

    And I entered a £420 as a positive instead of a negative, so actually balance is £840 higher than I thought :(.

    Meh.

    And Mr GG has man-flu ;).

    Crickey BIG word for early Saturday morning. I seem perpetually in the negative currently, I know I over op but I can't help it.... it's like being a secret spender in reverse.... I'd have us in rags eating bread and water if Dave didn't rein me in.

    I said the same thing to Mr T this morning.

    Mind you, we had gone to bed at almost 2am, which had a lot to do with it :eek:

    I love the discombobulated word Gally, I once taught a two year old in the family to say it and on one occasion when he was in the car with us and his mum driving , he said, 'are you feeling discombobulated mum' it was very funny :rotfl:

    :rotfl: It's a cracking word isn't it :D. I should have added I always picture Stephen Fry saying it ;)

    Discombobulation :) and its the last day of the tax year, so the new push is just on hold, isn't it.

    Sorry to hear Mr GG has man flu :(

    OSPREY UPDATE

    Last year's daddy osprey has still not returned :(.

    Mummy osprey has mated with a younger bird :eek:. Though he seems to have b*ggered off now he's had his wicked way :o.

    If original daddy does come back there could be DNA tests galore. All that, and 2 other ospreys used the nest for a bit of heavy petting during the week. It's turning into the Jeremy Kyle show :rotfl:.
