    First rule of posting when using a wi-fi dongle?
    First rule in posting when you make big long posts like you do, sweetie, should be to do it in Word, or Notebook. Then copy and paste it. That way, if it goes wrong you only lose your smileys and editing. :p:D:p

    Happy for Alan. :)

    Edit: Night everyone.

    Hello 3dogs regards to Mr 3dogs.

    Good to hear you both getting out and about, pray for more good weather. Seems to lift everyone spirit.

    My mate was a real character, always on the hustle little here little there. Full of energy and always the 1st person to lend a hand but the last to ask for help. A proper mate.

    His wife and bit were actually crying together, guess they both loved the same man.

    Wombled Mr A 1st, could not believe my eyes, a crispy £10 on the floor, nabbed it, few little un's then a whopper 67 then 64, then few £30's.

    Onto T went in store looking for new mag, no sign but on way out spotted what I think is a great deal 30 cans of Carlsberg for £16. It's a twin 15 pack. ( 20 cans @ £16.48 )

    Wombled a £115 with 115 points then a £127 no points, a 47 and 51. All good for the cruncher.

    My printer decided to mess up last night whilst trying to print my best APG to date, a £10.31.

    Only got it in March from T, (glad kept receipt) rang the number on receipt, some alignment issue, new one on a UPS headed my way and " we don't need your one back".

    Think mate would be :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: right now. :A
    Back to square one, no apg, no comment.

    I went to Mr T this evening with my husband. He hates shopping but loves it when we have a bargain so I always give him "little tasks" which he enjoys. We've bought some of the grape juice using the coupon before so I said to him, "Challenge, get two Wenches." He looked at me as if I was mad! So I repeated, "Wenches. See if you can find the Wenches." Then I reallised what I was saying!

    Later on, Mr T gave me 35p to buy half a cucumber. It was reduced to 5p but went through at 45p. I went to CS andd the SA gave me 80p back and explained DTD to me. She was really lovely. I would have been happy to just have the difference back (I do take heed of FK's advice) but she gave me DTD so I just thanked her.

    Regarding people's sexuality, as long as people treat others with respect, I don't give a damn .

    I'd be more worried about HIV with something like that.:eek:

    HIV is a very weak virus so unless the razor head had fresh blood on it the chances of any live infection would be slim.

    First rule of posting when using a wi-fi dongle? Always check you are still connected before pressing submit, especially when you have just spent ages typing up a long post :mad: :mad: So with that one lost, here I go again :o

    We have had a lovely day today :j We went to see Alan's Dad and Sister, and just as we got there, his brother and sister-i-l arrived, so we had a cuppa and a right old chinwag. Mr 3Dogs Senior is in his 80's, not well, riddled with arthritis and lost loads of weight over the last few years, but he was cheered up by seeing us. Alan didn't like the conversation when it turned to football as all his family are Toon supporters but at least they didn't rib him about Sunderland today ;) We stayed about 2 hours and then went down to see Alan's youngest son, wife and family. We sat in the garden chatting and it was lovely as they'd got 2 ducklings 3 weeks ago and they were fab to watch in their run and pond. It got too much for Alan though so after about an hour we had to leave. We called in for fish & chips for Alan and cheesey chips for me and had them when we got back

    Alan then had an hour's nap before coming with me to see Mam. My sister had doen the evening visit and I was just going to take her home, but we went a little earlier so Alan could go in and see me Mam for a few minutes. It had been a glorious day, though the cloud had started to come over by then, and the heat in the home hit Alan as soon as he went in so he struggled. I said to Mam, look who I've brought to see you Mam and Alan came in. Mam looked at him puzzled and said she didn't know who it was, so I said 'my man' as she calls him 'Alan', and she smiled and said 'Oooooh isn't he big' he is just under 6 ft. she then looked down adn said 'and he's got .... erm thingys' and I said 'yes, crutches as his back is bad at the minute' and she just smiled at him, saying 'Hello' back when he said 'hello Molly'

    So Alan got to see all his family and even saw me Mam :j :j He was shattered though and, after watching the cricket highlights well done again England :j, he was off to bed and quickly fell sound asleep

    We have decided to go home on Wednesday, so I rang the kennels and extended the dogs' [STRIKE]borstal[/STRIKE] holiday till then. Depending on how Alan is in the morning, we may go to Metro Centre as it is many years since either of us have been there, and we need to go see my brother again too or he will be feeling neglected :o

    A bit of advice 3dogs.....whenever you type a loooong post, always highlight THE LOT the right click and select 'copy' before you hit submit, so if it does all go tits up, at least you can just open a fresh response box and right click 'paste' and try again. :)
