Off to a bad start as just discovered one of the cats has upchucked on a pile of clean towels :eek: (serves me right for not putting them away) so that'll be the first thing to tackle!

bleugh! nothing better than a pile of cat sick with a nice fur ball in it (ugh!) and why does it always look the same as the food said moggie has eaten?

Well I totally f-f-f-f-f-flopped (:p) in the NSD challenge in Dec and rounded today off with another final spend Had some coupons to use with today's exp date on, won't bore you with all the details but did get a £60 Mr A shop down to £30 with APG, coupons and instore discounts. We're now totally stocked up. Also wombled a £7-50 APG (need to check the others tomorrow) so not a bad day.

We're also staying in tonight (OH also being a rebellious Scot) I'm not a fan of NYE, used to go out when I was younger and it was always a bit of an anti-climax, plus I really object to paying entrance fees to the places I go to any other day of the year, which also means they have you stuck there, it takes ages to get a drink and then there's never any taxis home or the ones you can get are charging an arm and a leg. So, a few glasses of wine, perhaps a film and bed at a decent time - wild i know :rotfl:

Like it or not, beanie, New Year is on its way! Tesco in town centre already has Cadburys Creme eggs and chocolate bunnies on sale.

Mmm--ours too Nargle; don't give you time to breathe do they! We (the Offspring & I) were running a sweepstake on what would be next; I said Feb 14th cuz I didn't give Burns Night or Chinese New Year a thought, but they're usually 'bigged up' & we're wwaaaaayyy darn sarf :shocked:

Anyone hungry? I've got Sprouts Mexy Kane in the food flask. Got a copy of Richie & Eddie's Extreme Quizzeen cook book last week. Would Igor like to have a flip through do you think, for some new recipe ideas?

Nargleblast

Sprouts Mexy Kane? That must be Brussels Sprouts with chilli, garlic and beans galore.....won't need any petroleum for the Tardis tonight then.

Well, I'm set for the night ..... bath had, hair washed, pjs on & bed just changed :D

Both cats in the lounge (which is very unusual) and they're not trying to kill each other (atm;)).

My best pal did try to persuade me to go out earlier (they're having a party) but ..... quite happy here!:o


I am onto my 2nd cider tho':) and think I may have to break open the box of choccies I got at Christmas

Happy New Year all ....

Nargleblast

Pass the choccies, rising, and sample some of BigMumma's chilli sprouts....
