hi stripey family. welcome to the new members, how old are they? can we have piccies please? i'll bet they'll be indoors before long which is a good thing. Hope the cats, peedie & the chucks all get on really well.
bank accounts and Cc's don't look too bad, they've been worse. did you hear anything about that part time job you applied for?0 -
Puddy cats! Even if they're ratters, they're still puddy cats
Ratter was the name of one of the daemons in The Northern Lights too
so thats okay then 


And Pippi, all I have to say to you (apart from, thank you for checking up on my thread) is ... storecupboard challenge!!!
Still loving the sound of what you're doing. I've been reading Bast's diary this morning (when I wasn't logged on, which was very confusing) and its sort of like yours but waterborne, on a canal - horses peering in the window, that sort of thing
it does tell me what I like the sound of.... I'm not here trying to find people who live in the city. 2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
UNI, thank you

KC and Mrs Moo - um, storecupboard challenge here I come - I was only looking for veggies and fruit, ahem, um, honest. But, 10p strawberries are now several pots of jam
I will have a neb at basks diary - the puddy cats are very shy, marmalade is more often at the barn window than the other one, so I'll see if I can get a pic.
LT - bank is OK, rent out soon and back to eekville, but we're still afloat -
job not been advertised yet - they need to do it soon though!
starnac, I hope the budget goes well, and weathers much better today!

VL - by the looks of making cheese, its heat milk, add stuff and stir, drain and then eat - well not quite but that kind of thing
MrsM hope you're a bit brighter today x and phew to the non-food purchase being OK - got alot out of the freezer last night.............store cupboards today
Nice day here, rather ironically considering how its been. Not sure if I will go into town today or not I'm needing to review one paragraph and then check my thesis then rather scarily I'm done and want to get it off during August, which means by tomorrow - although this bit is only electronically.

Morning All, how is everyone? Question for you all, there's a baby goody pack on the freebies board. Would it be wrong to register for it (go get it as shop is near my work) and use it to boost the nappy cake I'm making?CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0

Wow, that thesis is really on the way out of your life, isn't it! Thank heavens ... as to the goats cheese ... what are you going to do with the stuff that isn't used for the cheese? Give it to the chickies?
Unix - I wouldn't have thought there was any problem with that ...2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Aww puddy cats! Sounds like it's been a bit wild up there, glad all OK
