    Morning everyone
    My daily £2 going in today, plus 5p tea room change going into the road change pot.

    Jakes-mum & LC2, I could be the Alastair Simm character, to try and keep you both in line! No chance of that though, I'd be a pushover just like he was

    Hi NU1ISIT

    Was NOT going to give in to the temptation of looking at video but of course I did Then was definitely not going to try it with GChildren but of course I did Now DIL not impressed as GChildren had school uniforms on !!

    This is ALL you fault !! Another mess you have got me into!!!

    I knew as soon as I saw your post it was Trouble.

    :rotfl: :D :rotfl: :D :rotfl: :D :rotfl: :D :rotfl:

    I'm sorry LC me and the DW couldn't stop laughing, did you don the lab coat, and get a full fountain effect going? I'm sorry I got a vision of school kids running as you blew up your back garden with coke and mentos :eek: :rotfl: :eek:. :D It'll give the kids a story to tell their mates, remember and pass on later in life :rotfl::p:rotfl:. Sorry about the DIL :eek:, but it's what washing powder and stain remover where invented for :j :rotfl: :j. Blame me...it's what the DW normally does :D, for example "It was their Dad's idea" :p, along with, "Who do you think????" :rotfl:. Here have one of these :grouphug: from us...we like you, even if you have huffed the DIL for a little bit :D.

    Right, dryer finally fixed after some 'gentle persuasion' and mild language, a spare part and the short use of my DW's slightly smaller hands :D. They aren't meant to be 'fixed' anymore are they? :rotfl:I feel dead posh again, what with me new fangled drying machine :p.

    Back on topic, a few more pennies for the pot :j. Hope you're all having a good day :beer:.

    Sunday managed to pot £10.34, so I'm quite happy with that.

    And the chiropractor seems happy to be once a week at the moment now rather than twice a week.
