  • Falling Skies ..... last episode .....

    All I will say is ......

    O M G



    Anyway - another item sold :money:

    A cool bag I bought online & it wasn't ... not sure how to put it, it's a decent size.... just not quite the right shape IYKWIM :o

    Another £3 to the treat pot :T

    £21 now :D

    AND I am determined it will be a treat for me - usually when I get money it goes on the pets! :o

  • You finished Falling Skies yet Bubblesmum?

    The Walking Dead starts again next week :j love that!


    So .... been quite quiet here - I've got a stinking cold :( thankfully don't feel awful (no headache / sore throat etc) just totally shattered as not sleeping with stuffed nose ... but .... oh boy - the cough :eek:


    Lovely & sunny here :) the guy has just arrived to paint my front door & garage door so snuggled up in the lounge trying to keep Maisie quiet (she barks everytime there's an odd noise;)) - watching the F1 :)

    Hoping to get a nice walk later - it was her birthday on Thurs so we'll go 'special' walkies this afternoon!


    Going to order my winter tyres next week - that's another £250 :eek:

    *sigh*

    Groceries haven't been too bad this month & still got loads of chicken etc left which should last to the end of the month



    Happy Saturday :)

  • Nice to see you Beanie :D

    Hope you feel better too Slowly - cold sucks :o


    Beautiful day :) BUT I'm stuck inside :(

    Front door & garage have been painted :T (and look great :j) but can't shut the front door as it's wet ...... *sigh*


    Have a lovely walk with Maisie 1st thing while the painter was here so I really shouldn't complain!


    Popped to Mr A to return a couple of bits & managed to find a (very much needed) winter coat

    Really needed a new one last year and managed to muddle through (as couldn't find one I liked that I could afford!) but the old coat is errrrr well, finished :o

    Saw a couple in the big Mr A last week but they didn't have my size - found one in the small Mr A today (typical!) - will try it on again shortly but fingers crossed it'll do as it was at least 1/2 the price of anything else I've seen


    F1 on ..... bit strange it being in Russia .....

    Yes...... All, I can say weirder and weirder and :eek:. Is it wrong of me to say its not holding my interest...but at the same time it does as I just want to see what hysterically weird plot line they come up with next.....

    Lets face it Noah Wyle can't be dead as he's the lead ;) ( I only really watch it for him ;))

  • I will say it took me a long time to get into season 4 & it was really only when I sat & watched (I think it was) 4 episodes on the trot that I started to get into it again!


    As for weird story lines .... totally!


    BUT I love The Walking Dead so ......

    (it starts again on Monday! :j)

  • Hello & Happy New Year :beer:

    I'm back :o

    Hope all are well & had a lovely Christmas & NY :)

    Really need to 'pull my finger out' as spending went ridiculously out of hand last year :o

    Pulling up my socks ...... have dug out the SoW and created a 2015 version to record all my spending (this is where I fell down last year :o)

    SOA to follow in a sec .... 1st draft - def stuff missing but need to start somewhere & hopefully it'll make me look at it again tomorrow!
