    Even more reason to get rid of the following items:

    Sheep
    Shetland ponies
    Reindeer
    Polar bears (bears? Where did those other six come from? Hubert!!!)
    Country and western bands with dodgy cabaret costumes.....naming no names, but during Oktoberfest they were hijacked by the Berliner Polizei
    Twenty six foot high poles, dancing for the use of
    Thirty pairs of assorted stiletto shoes

    I mean, don't want to frighten off potential new members, do we?

    Errr, I highly object to the suggestion of putting the poles and stilettos overboard - after all, without those poles HOW would I have smuggled in the contraband Pringles?

    :D I have had an unexpected NSD so now up to 12 (work expenses excepted) due to change of plans this evening. I can't say I am sorry because it's bloomin' freezing here and for once I am grateful for being a woman of age and suffering from hot flushes :). This also means I have an extra day to play with to reach my target (note to self: this doesn't mean I can spend willy nilly ;)).

    I also sold my relisted item on ebay so in total I made £101.34 in sales :D before eBay fees so really chuffed with my efforts. My grocery underspend so far may mean I can cover the fees from that.

    Had a lovely meal last night with family and all in all it's been a pretty good week so far. Hump day today, can't believe it's Thursday already tomorrow.

    Am really enjoying the arctic cruise, with one or two LOL moments from some of the posts. My only concern is what my neighbour thinks (he lives next door to some batty old woman, who logs onto the net at odd moments during the night, no doubt).

    Stay warm.
