    Yes please - caramel fudge shortbread would be a treat! Just popped in for a minute as I'm undergoing a stressful audit at the moment and needed to see some friendly faces!

    haven't heard a word about the budget yet - good bad indifferent?

    MMM thanks - tea's lovely!

    There was nothing in the budget to scare me. Nothing to excite me either, so I guess that's about as good as it gets.
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D
  • I'm off to pick a small girl up from school (while she's still got one to go to). I'll see you all when I get back. If anyone fancies walking the dog or doing the ironing while I'm out...feel free. I haven't had time!

    Hi Cattie, it's good to see you. Tell us about your birthday. Did you have a lovely time?

    I DID HAVE A NICE BIRTHDAY-THE NIGHT BEFORE! (I went out with work and had a good time!)
    we went out for dinner on my birthday and when we got home our 2 dogs had managed to get into the kids room and ripped up a four foot (cuddly) dog, so our house was like a snowstorm with all the insides of the toy all over!
    Lovely OH decided that I had to tidy downstairs while he did upstairs:rolleyes: as we had guests all day! (even though the nite before he had said I could put my feet up all day!)
    then oh's mate came and stayed practically ALL nite! (he did bring me a gift so I do feel quite nasty complaining!) but by the end of the day I was sick and tired! lol
    annniestar i'm so sorry you are ill-keep warm and make sure you rest, I hope you get well soon-and yes you are right no good texting as my phone is practically kerplunk!

    Shame they are only just lowering the VAT on the quit smoking aids. Now I have managed to quit whilst vat was 17.5% on them. Think what treats I could have got with the other 12.5%:rotfl:
