    Hubert was disqualified from racing,since trotting was to best he could do.Also they weren't impressed with his racing attire;worse still,all the horses were laughing at him.He ended up getting all stressed out and had a bit of an accident...
    I really should have a work with his coach.
    He's who?Cheffie?
    'rolls eyes'
    That explains it.
    Igor was relieved to be able to drink at lastand has consumed 4 litres of the peach and garlic chardonnay so far.Poor chap.All that prep for nothing.

    We all enjoyed the food,though ths swedish meatball sarnies aren't the easiest thing to eat at the picnic,especially with royalty looking on.
    Some were playing frisbee with the mini quiches.

    I'm still hoping that we'll be invited to tea with The Queen. :)

    You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.

    Went to cricket yesterday - used money already on Oyster card and hubby paid for my ticket and a drink.
    Today went and watched a friend jump out of a plane then 15 of us had a homemade picnic in the park. Come home and had food from the freezer and garden.

    Hi good morning, all! It promises to be a good day, weatherwise, albeit a bit windy, but not as much as yesterday.

    Just a quick check in to report NSD no. 5 yesterday and LTW no. 6. Went to work yesterday (3-11pm shift) so no opportunity to spend. Yippee!

    Today is a spend your day though, weekly groceries, petrol, etc. lots household chores and gardening on the cards today, so I might not be online much.

    scotmumof3 glad to see that #4 is taken care of. :j
    Is that now 4 in a row?
    Yes marmite I did make it to 4 in a row :D Pink stilettos have gone the way of the dodo as Hubert got there first. I'm sure they would now fit Baby Elephant if she was still here :rotfl: Since nargle isn't here, and she did say it was ok, I think I will have t have a rummage through the spongebobs for a nice new pair.Yesterday was a spendy day as I was at a fundraiser for the MS society but at least the money goes to a good cause :) Hoping for a NSD today though. Oh and I did win a £10 Tesc* gift card in the raffle :D
    Debt free as of 29.10.2020 🎉😁

    I believe that exams are on just now,so it seemed appropriate.

    Don't worry scotmumof3,that 4 in a row means you've won another pair. :)
    Hopefully they're not been tested trotted by Hubert yet.I'm sure Nargle won't mind you having a spongebob rummage...if Hubert asks to come along,please tell him that he has an all day training session with Cheffie.Today's lesson:How to canter in heels.
    Apparently,with Hubert,heels aren't optional.You never know,he might start a new craze.

    A very worthy cause,so money well spent! :T:T
    A nice win as well for you in the raffle. :beer:

    I shall be back later to see if you managed an nsd.... ;)
    Good luck!
