    Good afternoon :)

    Well the sun has been shining here but it seems to have gone in now. We had a lovely walk on the beach this morning. DS2 and our new arrival spent most of it deep in the sort of conversation that could make you insane if you listened too long :eek: disagreeing about everything with in-depth explanations attached :D

    Ive spent the rest of the morning looking for and fretting over my cat. She doesn't appear ill but she's behaving very strangely. Not coming indoors, not turning up at feeding time, looking at me like she doesn't know who I am :( Im sure owners of elderly cats know what I mean? Brian went a bit funny like that before he passed :( I'm hoping she's just having an off time.

    And sorry to hear this section too. (:oDidn't want to imply I was happy at the rest having picked out another sentence earlier and posted I was sorry about that - ...blah blah, I'm overthinking again I know!:rotfl:)

    Could she do with some £5.97 cat food in two lots? Is that cheaper elsewhere? They bought that on the womble I have waiting!


    :(Gawd...along with some ruddy 50p Fox party rings.


    [Edit, again:rotfl: - oh and some 50p creams and 50p biscuits:(:(, I'd better stop looking at it in detail yet again...:o:rotfl::rotfl:.] (Maybe creams and biccies okay - are they still on 2 for £1 in Teskies?:think:)

    The thread is quiet just now so I thought I'd share this with you.

    I offered to bake my nieces wedding cake having never even baked a birthday cake before. However for the last 18 months, I've made every family birthday and Christmas cake as practice. And here's the wedding cake......

    Absolutely beautiful :T Well done you :T

    Jelly- can you recommend any other sites to win eBay auctions at the last minute aside from Bidnip? I've used up all my free snipes now. Good website that!

    Zippy didn't you recommend a site before? Many thanks.

    I went to a general auction today and now know where you take things that aren't fit for the skip lol.

    I did have my on a beswick figure but noticed it was chipped.

    Where do they get all the really cheap junk from, surely people don't take a broken lawnmower to them and ask them to sell it for £2?

    Well why didn't anyone tell me that that receipt's from yesterday, you don't need to wait till after 7 o'clock Savvy?!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Well it was quite good. Not too concerned with the 2 for £2 cleaning, although it reduced the APG at least it still made a positive contribution towards it! (But wish the Clove was still a trigger:rotfl:.) Just how much better it would have been without the Party rings and the Pepsi though.

    And the Party Footballs!! Why are they getting all the former triggers now?:rotfl::(
