    “ Mr Tumble should be sorting out the Euro financial problems myself”


    Wooooaaaahhhh there mud_flower, what sort of surrealness is that? :rotfl: I thought I-d stepped into a Ross Noble gig for a second....:D
    Sorry to hear that e4rub, same happened to our Grandad, just before Christmas last year, the Cancer finally got the better of him. Hope you’re okay :grouphug:.

    “I feel for her I MEAN I REALLY FEEL for her”


    I do to LC2 :rotfl::D:rotfl:
    “Just a thought, nu1isit?, but maybe your Wife chucking money at you is a payment in lieu for a service in lieu!!!! Get the pants at the ready!”


    I don’t know Sue, not with the face she was pulling at the time...:p

    Worth a try...
    I tried this:

    Me: Hi honey.... did you have a good day at work?

    DH: Mmm.

    Me: Lovely..... - have you any spare change?

    DH: (hand in pocket) Yes love, what for?

    Me: Just for me......if its spare you dont need it....”

    [FONT=&quot]Excellent kylieminoag, I wonder if the DW, will fall for it. :p:rotfl::p
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    “the total for our whole day shopping trip amounted to shaving mirror (no it wasnt for me nu1isit)”

    You have have a low opinion of me blue eyed girl, I’m both shocked and appalled. :p Anyway, I would never say such things to a lady...:D


    Anyway, a lovely £1 coin for me today :j...I have got to go and get some little things later, so will be hunting the crafty coin that lurks beneath :D:rotfl::D


    Happy Potting everyone :beer:

    Just been to do the shopping for my DM (Dear Mum, is that acceptable for an abrevation) as she is on crutches.

    I have just found £19.37 in my car! I can not believe I have been driving around in a gold mine! All going in the pots.

    HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL.
