And we drink our tea the same way too..... strong enough that you can stand the spoon up in it, very little milk, and no sugar. But we also both prefer it from a 'seasoned' mug, which means he won't flip when he sees the colour of the inside of mine :rotfl:
Nor did he freak (like so many others have) when I confessed to only washing my pots when I've enough to make it worth running a bowl of hot water - sounds like he does the same thing, although he runs out of crockery and cutlery before I doCheryl0 -

Used to drink pints of Strongb0w.
The only pints I drink these days are tea (I have a well seasoned pint mug from a sports store!)Cheryl0 -
Booger, xmas gifts didn't arrive with Mr W'rose order so have had to order elsewhere which cost an exrta £3 on the items and £5.99 delivery
Still, given what I have saved on other gifts and given that I have settled on this and for the sake of stress levels I've swallowed this one and placed the order (it includes something for my brothers b'day in feb too). On the upside, cat food turned up (was on offer) and OH gift item also arrived, so something else off the shopping list so not all a waste (very nice to have 4 boxes of pud food delivered to the door
) Felt sorry for the driver, apparnntly they are all in borrowed vans atm as someone broke into the yard at the weekend and stole all the exhuast pipes at the weekend :eek: I assume they were stealing them for scrap value.

Evening all, been AWOL for a few days, but been keeping the spending down (ish).
So Saturday was NSD #14; Monday NSD#15 and today NSD#16. Spending tomorrow...running out of milk again...I have plenty of UHT Skimmed, but DS2 won't touch it with a bargepole!!!
So declaring 16 NSDs for November, 2 short of target, but at least I didn't spend on over half the month!!
Sunday was my first fair...made £67 pounds, not as much as I'd hoped, but not too bad.Didn't make any sock cup-cakes in the end, just ran out of energy and time. Will get them made later this week for my next fairs on the 11th and 16th. I will be able to sell them throughout the year too, so good idea to make more.
Need to head for bed now, sorry, not commented on anyone's posts. So will say ((((((HUGS)))))) to EVERYONE!!!
