Hi SL - work, by water feature I mean a waterfall pouring through the ceiling and lights, but by all accounts, everything that could go wrong, has.

This is a new build, well 5 years old, cost billions/trillions of ££'s. (Slight exaggeration)

Not very up on technology FB so may take me a few weeks to have a look. Btw - knew an elderly couple who used to stay in Stewarton, but no longer there - coincidence.

Hi Bexster,
:rotfl:Laughed my head off, well hopefully only one "Leak" and not another. I'm talking news.

Wowser! At those prices I'd have forgotten my no spend year ( and healthy eating ).

Hope your NSDs resume. I'm on 4/6 so far

Fantastic prices, although when you go back you don't get the same range, so its buy now or its gone !!!

Although you can't get your weekly shop in there, another freezer would be handy :think:


Hunters chicken was delicious, wish I had bought more but at least I'm learning, buy when you see.

I have had such a strange day, I'm thinking of buying a lottery ticket :rotfl:

I needed to go to PO to post parcels, so thought I would make an outing of it,
buying a day ticket for travel, however;

1st bus - driver did not know what to add a day ticket to my card :doh:- Free bus travel
2nd bus - as above :doh: Free bus travel
By this time is wasn't worth getting a day ticket for the bus home, so was just paying a normal bus fare, only . . .
3rd bus - didn't have any change :doh:
So by the time I had to get my last bus home - my mum said well you will need to pay this one,
that's what you would think . . .
4th bus - driver waved us on, taking no money and no ticket given. :j


Quite amused by it all, Savings £5 That would buy me 2 lottery tickets . . . :think:

Well it continues . . .

Last night went for the train into town to see a show. Ticket was a Christmas Present.

Didn't pay my fare - yet again, and on the way home, running for train, the ticket collector,
let us through as train was about to depart. No fare paid again.

Savings around £4.

Today was busy, going to a funeral, visiting the PO, bank, Local big store, where there was an incident, staff heard and to be honest were more annoyed than myself, they were fantastic, Manager actually came over and apologised to me as I was leaving the store. :T
Out early in the morning, just hope the weather calms down by then, rain lashing against window and wind howling just now and there is snow on the hills, so not too far away.

I am imagining the house shaking in the gales just now.

Wow! Fare dodger extraordinaire! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
Do you have any sinking funds ? Are you saving for anything? If so, might I suggest-as it’s money you would have spent - you put the £9 in there. If you’re not saving for anything, maybe treat yourself to something.

I agree with Tatty...a reward may ease the guilt...hmmmm!

Yes, I may just do that, I have started a new hobby and need a book that's about £6.
Just a touch of what is to come . . . I'm talking . . . bus pass :eek: :rotfl:

Guilt :shocked: what guilt . I offered to pay each and every time :A Couldn't find icon with halo

Storm seems to have passed, although raining, that's nothing unusual but wind has died down
quite a bit. Was thinking need to go check the other house I've got an interest in (its fairly high up - good views :)on the west coast of Scotland) but
downside is it could have caught some damage that road was closed yesterday due to the waves coming right over the road.

Will that emoji do?!

Glad to hear you are fare dodging ahead for your " free" travel from March :rotfl:

Hope the weather stays calmer, I think there is another storm due on Thursday. That's ok, I need to sort my tax return so Thursday is it for me

Have a good day
