    MacP, how the heck are you? Thanks for missing me, I'm guessing you were the only one :rotfl:


    Right, what to do today? Start another argument? (long story)

    As it is Sunday there is no movement in my bank account, which is a good thing. :) My 50p's are looking at me, desperate to get to their new home which will be first thing tomorrow morning. I got an email this morning from Mr T to tell me that one of the receipts I put in their price checker thingy yesterday would have been cheaper in Mr A so they have given me a voucher for the difference :T A massive 59p :rotfl: but it is 59p in my pocket rather than theirs.:T I have 4 watchers on one of the items I've got on Ebay and an actual bid on another one. Considering they have still got 6 days to run, I think that is quite good :T I will be putting some more bits on later today. My main MSE thing to do today is nothing. I am not going anywhere near anywhere where I might be tempted to spend money :T

    I have just had the most brilliant walk with my dogs along the beach here and it was cold and windy but we all enjoyed it. There is peace perfect peace while they have a rest (until they think they should be going out again) :) There is nothing quite as lovely as a zonked out Labrador :rotfl:

    No doubt I will be back soon with an MSE-y type list. I am determined to start this year as I mean to go on :)

    :rotfl:I think I must share the blame for that one .....:o

    We've been to the park for our morning "constitutional" - will be heading to the beach later on.

    Can't face another mud bath already - honestly, you cannot imagine how bad she was yesterday .... think ploughed field with the troughs full of water and Maisie having great fun pelting through them, jumping from one trough to the next ... and then there was the full ditch between the field and the road :eek:

    Need somewhere a bit cleaner today as only just managed to get everything washed!:)

    Will aim for the beach this afternoon but it's very windy so it might not be that nice if the sand's blowing everywhere ... we'll see - need a bit of a zzzzz myself first!:) (she's flat out on the floor snoozing so think I'll grab the sofa for an hour while it's free!)

    We suffered the same yeaterday, they were filthy and wet and smelly and I decided that we'd find somewhere much drier today. The tide was out but the sand was wet so it was ideal and they got back into the car as dry as a bone. Will be doing that one again tomorrow :)
    Enjoy your snooze. It's not very often a comfy seat is Labrador free. :rotfl:

    I've refrained from commenting as ...... well it's just going to turn into a slanging match which was never my intention .....

    Heading off to the beach in a sec (had a lovely snooze and was rudely interrupted by a big lick when she'd decided I'd been sleeping long enough!)

    so........

    MSE-y type things I have done today

    Three more items on ebay :)
    Yesterday's dinners leftovers for lunch today (instead of going in the bin):)
    Not venturing out of the house (apart from walking dogs):)

    That is not much compared to yesterday.:o I think I might spend this evening putting some of the hundreds of books we have in this house onto one of those buying books sites to see if there is any cash to made that way. The only trouble is, they give you a pre-paid postage sticker to print out and I haven't got a printer at home :o I'll have to see if I can save it and print it out when I go back to work on Thursday.

    Ohhhhh I forgot, I had a massive row with Mr T as well (must be the time of year for rows) It is a very long story but basically they took £100 that they weren't entitiled to and I am still waiting for it to be paid back. It was on my cc that I use then pay in full every month so because they haven't paid it back I haven't paid in full (IYKWIM). I will never ever use Mr T on-line again and would advise anyone from doing so. Lately they have just been a nightmare. This is the second time they have taken money that they shouldn't have. No wonder they make zillions in profit every year :mad:

    Okay, gotta go. The Christmas tree has been up for over a fortnight and the puppy has just appeared to notice it. :eek:
