    Hi everyone :wave:

    !:j:j

    Nargle and Beanie - do you need a kick up the bum? That usually works, ask HAW:D:D

    See you all tomorrow for a wiggle:D

    Nargle and Igor, still on the hunting trail for some NSDs......

    (Right, Igor, let's make camp here for the night, by these trees. Once you have rigged up the ACME camping shower, I will freshen up, put on my jimjams and have an early night with a mug of cocoa and a Garibaldi biscuit. Right, getting out of these huunting clothes...Eh? What the....? IGOR! What are all these hobnail boot marks on my knickers?)

    Well took money out to spend tmw intending to keep today as a nsd because the money was removed but not spent, but fell into the chip shop on the way home. I blame heat exhaustion. But as I have the money out of the account now I'm going to apply reverse logic and say tmw will b a nsd as I've already got the money in my purse. Not sure if this is sense or denial but it works in my head :rotfl:
