    Tenth Anniversary
    Hello , I am not sure how many nsd I have had but it must be 20+, any way am quite a bit below my budget but that is because I bought 4 months supply of dog food in December and have been feeding us out of the freezer so looking forward to February and hope I can keep it up :)

    At work tomorrow, have calmed down after the events of the week, hopefully will not encounter any institutional bowlocks while I am trying to do my job, usually things go fine but occasionally management behave like donkeys and I catch myself thinking about moving on to pastures new. Or even idly daydreaming about getting out of the rat race.....have to win the lottery first, though. Unlikely, as I don't play the lottery....

    News flash.....reports are just coming in of a series of serious disturbances at a house in the Aberdeen area......

    A large blue old-style police telephone box was seen to appear in the back garden of the house. Assorted individuals in varying states of disorder were seen dancing in the street. One, wearing tight lurex shorts and little else, was seen spinning up and down a lamp post. Another attacked a police officer with a ball of two ply knitting wool. When asked why, she said she was knitting safari suits and four ply would be too heavy. She was charged with being drunk in charge of a broomstick and a pair of knitting needles.
    Another, a large gentleman in chef's whites, when questioned would only say "a hurdy gurdy chicky bork bork bork." A donkey wearing stiletto heeled shoes and a giant nappy, a person of peculiar formation carrying a rucksack and briefcase, and a polar bear in a mankini are all currently helping police with their inquiries.

  • Well, I guess I'm going to be moving from this flat!! How am I going to explain all the Brussel sprouts scattered in the car park. I think the flames have only just stopped smouldering after Igor recruited Hubert and a rather intoxicated Nargle into cooking up the sausage and thistle rolls.

    Nevermind, another NSD for me today...on account of tidying up this mess all day.

    Thanks to some quick talking (and the offer to quickly knit some sweaters for the Police Football and Rugby teams) they let most of us go (they are unsure about the Polar Bear and the chef!!)
    Must use my stash up!
