    Who's calling us loonies?

    Let's recap for the benefit of those who might be thinking of joining our gang.....the aim is to collect as many No Spend Days as possible and chuck them into the Cauldron of Doom which usually sits in the baronial hall at Ennessdee Towers, our stately home headquarters.

    Igor, our general cook/butler/man of all work is entering the races at Royal Ascot, riding Hubert, our resident donkey who eats everything in sight, is completely incontinent, but has a fancy for pink sparkly girly clothes and stiletto heeled shoes. Mrs Doyle the housekeeper will be on hand with a constant supply of tea, cake and egg sandwiches. Swedish Chef, maitre of the kitchen, will supply evening meals as usual. We know Igor and Hubert will do well in the races because our resident wide boy Bert Scroggins will nobble the opposition using tips from a book written by his father, Roger, whilst his ancient mum Bertha (Hair Stylist to the Stars, electric Afro perms a speciality) will give us all free hair dos so we look stylish at the races.

    Now what is loony about that? Completely sensible and logical!

    Going to go for my normal target of 15 NSD. It is going to be challenging as we have many birthdays both friends and family in June.
    Also going for a challenging 5 in a row. I'm going to think positively!

    Good luck everyone.

    Join the gang, The Only Girl, always nice to have new blood ( no, Igor, I don't mean that literally, put that meat cleaver down).

    Our Glorious Leader marmite will do the formalities and add you to the front page, in the meantime grab an egg sandwich and some of Mrs Doyle's cake before it all goes.
