Technically I did spend as I had to buy a replacement toothbrush but I got 2 for 18p in Te$cos, which is practically free! So I'm declaring

NSD 7 today

Some might also call that an emergency,making it also an allowed spend.

I reckon New England seems a good bet, we could clean out the TARDIS and head off there http://www.discovernewengland.org/new-england-events/august-2015/

Sounds nice Knit Witch. :cool:

It's just as well that we've got The Tardis.I've just checked The Ennessdee Towers Holiday Fund tin.Yes,the one we hide in Cheffie's truss wardrobe.Would you believe it:27p,a dried up polo mint,two buttons and some fluff...That's not going to get us very far now is it? :eek:
I'm sure there were a few notes in there last week....That Tatty and the weasel Scroggins.He got his comeuppance didn't he.Heheheh....
Any news on that arch 'ripper out of hearts,throw it to the floor and drop your shot putt on it' Tatty Villanova?
Just as well we've got Chief Inspector Swindle on the case.

I suppose if I had to,if there was no other choice,I could pop along to New England for the month of August...
I was looking forward to doing a bit of weeding and teaching the voles how to dive into the paddling pool,but (heavy sigh) that'll have to wait.

Some famous people born in August - Cecil B DeMille the film director, Alfred Hitchcock, Napoleon Buonaparte, Mary Shelley who wrote Frankenstein. Also the Woodstock music festival was in August.

With Igor being in a delicate state,I'm not sure how he would react to anything scary like Frankenstein,a Hitchcock film....We know how Hubert would react.Puddles of 'wee wee' (pardon my bluntness) everywhere,or worse.

I'm beginning to wonder if Igor might have a Napoleon complex,also known as 'small man syndrome'?All the signs are there.
My kitty is a small kitty,and she has it in spades.
And I believe that Mr DeMille was a bit OTT with his actors.

I think that a few weeks spent in New England would do us all the world of good.
I hope that no-one has a problem getting a visa.

Anything you like to eat, marmite as long as it does not remind Igor of being jilted by Tatty at the altar.

So that rules out tarte tatin. And raTATouille. And anything with taters.

I'll be glad when we can all stop tiptoeing around on eggshells. Really, he is such a sulky boots!

You know what I got?Burnt toast and squashed plum tomatoes with chocolate sprinkles,which means one thing:he's improving.

Bless him,he's never had a lady friend before...
I've packed him off to bed with some cocoa and no.1 rubber ducky.

Hi all, I am just on my way to bed, to try to get some sleep. I am on an early shift tomorrow and need to get up at half past 5 in the morning. Totally brutal as I am still in the night shift mode. Just a quick check in here to say, NSD went out of the window when hubby walked in from work with bags full of shopping. Unbeknownst to me hubby took £20 from the grocery envelope and did a bit of food shopping. He didn't need to because we have plenty to cook for the next few days probably all week. I couldn't get myself to get mad at him because it might be a nice thoughtful gesture, probably his way of supporting me after the horrible night shifts. He was also surprisingly upbeat and full of energy, that upon seeing me tidied up the camping gears from last weekend he proceeded to putting them away in the shed, putting the dinner in the oven and vacuuming the floor! I am not one to complain with those nice gestures and this is certainly not the battle to fight over. Happy to lose one NSD in favour of a helpful thoughtful hubby. He has also just decided to clean the fish tank when he could be sitting in front of the telly. It does make me wonder though - what Is he after ?

Of course, having the Tardis means we could nip over to New England for the odd festival ( can just imagine Chef having a fight with a lobster...) Then nip back up to Edinburgh for the Fringe...I think by now the Wanted posters with our faces on should have faded or disintegrated by now ....

I do hope that you sleep well.I don't envy you,but chopping and changing sleep patterns. :mad:
How nice of hubby.You're right,losing an nsd is no big deal in this case.
Yes indeed,could he after something?
Of course now that you've brought this up,you'll have to tell....

Oh dear,don't say we've been up to Edinburgh and had to leave in a hurry...It must have been before my time.
We could flit about a bit.New England/Scotland...
I believe that Cheffie has already had some experience with lobsters.I must check that out. :rotfl:

Oh,and I forgot to say:Woodstock,a big no-no.
Igor on bass guitar,Hubert on triangle,Cheffie on drums doing Abba covers. :eek: :rotfl:

Edinburgh was a while ago, I think a certain Scottish actor who played Dr Who ended up getting kidnapped and handcuffed to the Tardis' s Improbability drive.....Not sure who did that as I was trying to escape from the whisky distillery some rotter had locked me in.

I think it was shortly after that Igor arrived on my doorstep, and as I was still traumatised from the Fringe experience I was not of sound mind, so consequently let him in .....the rest is history.

Oh Gawdelpus. Just found Igor's recipe notes. He obviously overheard us discussing New England as the first item on his list for August menues is....wait for it.... blueberry muffins. Served with a lobster coulis of course.

Deep joy.

I bet you couldn't imagine life without him now,though?

He's a visionary I tell you.

Maybe,like Van Gogh,he'll never be appreciated in his lifetime and,in years to come,we'll think of Igor and weep.
