    Morning everyone - just a quick post as must dash as I am taking my friend for blood tests this morning and then picking up Mr 3Dogs from auction (he got the bus into town this morning - remember, van radiator kaputt)

    Yes, I agree with everyone else, what were you doing up at that time Kit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Miche - only 3 lbs - look at it that way - you can do it hun :A Oh, found your email VERY interesting petal

    Marru - good luck with the bailiffs :eek: :eek:

    Right, I'm off so chat later - hope everyone has a good day today :j :j :j :j

    Hello again gang - we are watching England v Ireland at cricket World Cup - looks like England could turn a win into a loss at the moment but we will see :mad: :mad:

    My friend got her blood test after a long wait - very busy when we went :mad:, and then we picked up Mr 3Dogs from the auction

    Mr 3Dogs managed to get a built-in wardrobe for £24 plus commission this morning plus 3 lots of mixed lots for £2 each, so was well pleased. The fitted unit has been dismantled from a house and everything is there - the interior with shelves/rails, 3 doors, one of which is part mirrored, and is in a beech finish. This will go in out bedroom beautifully, when we can get it fitted ;) We already had a set of the rails and a pair of sliding doors in white finish, which we had got in with other things at the auction over the past few months, but this is the whole thing and a better style, so delighted with it, and Mr 3Dogs will now sell the other bits we have, plus our wardrobes/drawers that we currently use, so should cost £0 with any luck :j :j

    Remember the book fair purchase that ripped me off £6yesterday. Picks DD up. "Mam, Mam can we go to the book fair again, I want another book" She got short shrift from me I can tell you!

    How can a kid who isn't spoilt.. be spoilt! Time for a pocket money tin I think. She can fund her own wants when she has some pennies. Bloddy kids.

    I wonder when we will tell the girls we were bankrupt? We will, as part of money education but when.. eek.

    Did I ever tell the story about Bank Holiday last year?

    I was lying in bed with her at bed time just chatting telling her that Daddy didn't have to go to work on Monday as it was a Bank Holiday. She got all excited and said "So what we gonna do on Bankrupt Holiday" :eek:

    She's six and obviously heard the word in discussions at home. I was mortified :rotfl: Explained that bankrupts were people who had no money and pulled out a coin that was in my pocket.. look Mammy has some money. :rotfl:

    Many people know about our BR but it's not something you want your 6 year bandying about :eek:

    Was I saying anything in particular? Why break the habit of a life time eh?

    Won't be online later as off to ikea. Don't want anything just a cuppa, a natter and a piece of cake :p

    That would be fab if you can offset it ! :D And a nice bedroom to boot (pardon the pun, was it a pun or my bizarre humour :rotfl: )

    I need to get myself to a boot fair, went a few weeks back but a bit too icky for the parking on the mud. Does Mr3Dogs think it's worthwhile going to fairs midweek? The Sunday one is always chocca, I often wonder if the Thursday one would be worth going to.

    There's only one way to find out, he said :rotfl: :rotfl: It will be quieter, with less stalls and less buyers too, still every chance to find a bargain, so I'd say go for it Miche - anyway, a nice trip out for you all in the holidays perhaps??

    Luckily, our car boot/market is mainly on hard standing or gravel., with Friday's being mainly indoors. :D We used to do them on grass but can get very messy and I've seen many a car get stuck in a muddy field :eek: :eek:

    A friend of ours borrowed his mate's JCB (he works as a handiman on a farm) and was earning quite a tidy sum pulling the cars out of the mud through the winter. All voluntarily contributions but he was seething when he did that for people and they didn't tip him :rotfl:
    Now who mentioned CAKE? :eek::eek:
    ..and as if by magic up he pops :rotfl:
