I've been caught out erm... Cheating!

I thought yesterday was an NSD so changed my sig, was about to post then remembered the tank full of petrol, since my husband took my car and left me his WITH NO PETROL FOR ME TO GET TO WORK AND BACK!!!

But I think I'll manage to be non - spendy tomorrow, so I didn't change it back.

Changes for next month for me - prescriptions and medication don't count, and neither do fuel! I'd have had an extra 3 this month, but I was trying to keep the rules for the whole month.

So hubby left you with no petrol in the car - sounds like an emergency to me.Emergencies are not counted as spends by many (myself included).After all,you didn't really have a choice in the matter...
So,what would you like me to do?

Not an antique champerpot,again?Oh no,the antique spittoon..... :eek:

He's just not going to learn,is he?

Vicky it's alright..really.Mrs Doyle has a few spare teacups she keeps for best.

Hmm, do you drink from one of Mrs Doyle's cups, and feel her beady eyes boring holes into you like burning flames, daring you to drop her precious cup......Igor, just swill out the spittoon under the tap, anything for a quiet life....

We don't want to get on the bad side of Mrs Doyle now,do we?

I was going to sa 'at least he's washed it' but thought it might just sound too gross...

Sera monath (dry month) was the name the Anglo Saxons gave to the month.

It is claimed that summer doesn't start until the elder is in flower.

Roses are of special importance on Midsummer's Eve.It is said that any rose picked on Midsummer's Eve will keep fresh until Christmas.
