    Hi everyone

    And to follow a long tradition here, we have to have a wiggle to celebrate....

    Hope it brings a smile to a few faces today.

    Take care everyone and mind that wind, it's dreadful outside today.

    Back later

    I'm a wiggling Spoony :dance:

    Spoon - Thank you! The wiggles certainly made me giggle!

    Drum roll please... declaring NSD 2/12 today! Was very restrained while at uni, took my flask of coffee and everything, and despite train station cafe-based temptations I was well behaved and waited to have a late lunch when I got home! :D

    I even managed to avoid grocery spending (which is covered from a different account and on the grocery challenge) by sneaky wording... "if we can be bothered to go to T*sco in this horrid weather we could get something, or we could stay in and have yummy risotto/carbonara/etc" (I didn't actually say etcetera, I think that would have ruined the clever sneakiness)

    ...which to my shock resulted in Mr Lotti saying "not sure, but I'll cook tonight and find something from the fridge" :rotfl:

    Oooooo, sorry you banged your head Mumma, are you alright??
    You know what they say Boult-me-buddie..no sense, no feeling :p Then again, others would argue that it hopefully knocks some sense in to my seriously scatty cerebellum :rotfl:

    Unfortunately, muvva's ears are proving to have graduated from her personal School of Stubborness with Honours & then some :( We've got another appt in about a fortnight for a third attempt at clearing them, but this time it's with a nurse-practitioner so IF need be, she will be able to refer us for Audiology sooner rather than any later for "mechanical intervention" :eek: Then comes the Waiting List for NHS hearing aids & access to all sorts of lovely gizmoes to help break the isolation for her; I'm looking forward to that bit :D I don't do tekkie stuff but give me a good gizmo & I'll show you an intrigued, button-pushing, direction-scouring BMF with an absorbed smile interspersed with the occasional quizzical herrrrumph :j

    Anyways..No 2 was Weds & providing I get orf the poota pretty smartish, today is looking promising for No3.

    Did I miss the link to the Stop Drinking Fizzy Challenge :o Apologies but I can't recall who started the debate either, but I hope you're doing well.

    I found a bit about those wedding dresses too. I must have seen it on a breakfast news programme but it seems to have been in a newspaper too. Have a look HERE.

    And I've had a few wiggles today--does that count cuz I'm the same shape as your koalas Spoon :whistle:

    Spend day as anticipated - window cleaner's just been for his money (paid for this week and the one due in two weeks time, so may have preserved an NSD later on)

    Didn't do any grocery shopping in the end, as not 100% sure if/when/for how long visitor is coming over. Instead I've put an extravagant £10 to one side to be used (probably tomorrow) once I know what's happening - I don't intend to spend all of it, but just depends on what we fancy for tea tomorrow and whether I have everything bar veg in the freezers or not.
