    Stop trying to cheer me up, it's not going to work :rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    In other exciting news - have decided that the money set aside for the btl tax bill is better off in premium bonds than the bank, so an initial £700 purchased :T.

    In more predictable news - just done banking. No-one paid the mortgages off overnight :(. Another cunning plan bites the dust :rotfl:.

    Seeing as my adopted country are out of the World Cup - come on England www.MessenTools.com-emoticones-soccer-futbol-004.gif

    Baby Oleg Meerkat finally arrived :T.

    Baby Oleg Meerkat kidnapped by Mr GG as I had put him up for sale on ebay :eek: (Baby Oleg, not Mr GG, I know people buy weird things on there but there are limits :D)

    Baby Oleg sold on ebay and retrieved from hiding place :j.

    Price of Baby Oleg has brought house insurance (said in meerkat accent ;)) down to £74 for buildings & contents :T.

    Mucho grass to cut today in own garden plus friend's. Think 7.30 is a bit early though so another cuppa and Kindle in garden :j.
