I've not posted since Sunday morning but I've done well.
Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday were all NSD and Monday was a low spend day (milk and eggs from the farm). Did a big shop at Ald* on Wednesday so we're good til next week. I'm off for the weekend so no more NSDs for me but I'm really pleased with 10.
See you in September...

No, Igor, when Itsalongshot requested a whoop whoop, that did not mean one of your foul cocktail concoctions.....turnip daiquiri, anyone?

Is everything ready for today's sports day? Hope there are enough hard boiled eggs for the egg and spoon race, Mrs Doyle was up till three this morning boiling away.....And all the Ennessdee Towers chickens are walking like John Wayne......And I can't wait to see this band you've hired for this evening, I do love a bit of a knees up, me!

Nargleblast

Explanatory note re last post - it was the eggs boiling away last night, not Mrs Doyle herself. Although she does look a little flushed this morning..

Thank you Nargle, for the bit about folk wandering in & out as Life dictates which is, of course, scribed onto the Sacred Scraps of Lining Paper that defines the Code of The Emmessee'er *wrings hands a la Scrooge whilst chanting The MSE Chant, applicable upon mention of certain doctrines* I was only [STRIKE]being nosey[/STRIKE] making polite enquiries to ascertain they be of good health...

With all the adorable little furries scampering about The Towers, may I suggest a gentle 18 Voles before lunch to get us loosened up for the Games? It'll clear the track so there'll be no accusations of knobbling--knees not withstanding--like the Scandal of 1843...took right up to 7:30 to calm the cooks enough to continue with their Tropicana Type Topiary Tournament

Munchin

NSD 14 found yesterday and I managed to stay away from the chocolate. I think I am on form for NSD 15 today but tomorrow I have to buy cake for a party, not that I am complaining, cake is cake:D

Good morning fellow three legged race competitors! :wave:

Igor is looking for a partner and Hubert is claiming discrimination and would like help to get his spanx up past his ankles. :eek:

Now,Monday is a bank holiday in Blighty,isn't it?

In which case:



Large G&T for me later on Igor.In fact,just hide the bottle over here in the bushes.There's a good chap.
Don't want the blasted voles getting their greedy little paws on it....
Mmm,your knees do look lovely in those new George Clooney lookalike knee doodahs...Present from Scroggins?Maybe he's not quite the heartless bounder that we've all come to know and hate...

Nargleblast

Stop sulking, Hubert, we had to disqualify you from the three legged race on account of you having one knee too many! You did play an important part in the Squeeze the Donkey into the Spanxpants contest, though.

Yes, Chef, another of your fabulous Chicky Bork Bork burgers, please.....I see Igor and Bert are still showing off their trophy for winning the three legged race....And Bert is showing off the one he won for the sack race, and the egg and spoon race, and the Guess the Number of Fleas on Helga's Voles contest......in fact, did anyone else here win anything? Just Bert, (and Bert with Igor in the three legged race), nobody else?

I think, although the beetroot Chardonnay has gone to my head, so I could be imagining things, oh, I don't know, something smells fishy here, and it isn't Igor's knee embrocation......I'll think about it in the morning when my head has been returned to its rightful orientation....in the meantime, let's go and see this band Igor has hired, I'm in the mood for a boogie....

marmiterulesok

As Nargle totters off crooning '# Yessir I can boogie,if you play a certain song... #',marmite is seen furtively sidestepping over to the bushes,thrusts a hand in and gropes around,searching for that bottle of [STRIKE]gingerale[STRIKE][/STRIKE][/STRIKE] gin.

She strikes gold,pulls out the bottle,only to see (horror of horrors) that said bottle is empty!

In the distance a group of heavily tattooed voles shriek,cackle and make rude gestures,before hurrying off to the karaoke tent...

marmite's face is thunder....

Nargleblast

marmite, I think you could have a round of 18 voles with BigMumma, I am sure she has a spare set of golf clubs somewhere.
