    Get back yer varmints! Scurvy knaves the lot of ye! There be plenty of rum to go round, never fear! Igor, break open another barrel! Chef, break out the cheesy pineapples! We be fearsome pirates on the high seas, and we know how to party!

    So, one tot of rum for jodies, one for me, one for scotmum, one for moonbean, one for me, one for knitwitch...queue up nicely, mateys, no squabbling at the back, there....where was I? Oh yes, one for me, one for Hubert.....Gemgem and fedup pull yourselves together, there, anyone would think you had never had rum before!

    Oh Gawd and shiver me timbers, pass the bucket, Igor, someone's been sick at the back there....where's the ship's medical officer? Mrs Doyle! Your presence is required on the aft deck.......

    Pilchard and rum! Umm don't want to offend cheffie but I think I might pass. My hubby might like them. He loves pilchards. We have about 6 large cans in the cupboard - yuk!

    NSD number 3

    Did a few chores this morning. Went to the gym this afternoon and the came home and read my book.
    Avoided the shops. Hubby and I are going away for five nights in the sun, towards the end of the year, got a very cheap deal as we are going in term time. Got to pay for it soon so I am trying not to spend any money.

    No, but you get an extra lump of cheese on your cheesy pineapple stick.

    Yes, Mrs Doyle, the crew have had too much rum. Hot eggy bread poultices all round, methinks....

    Don't be silly, Igor, where do you think we should stick the poultices? On their heads to cure the headaches, of course! Now pull.your trousers up and get back to swabbing the decks ( honestly, Igor and Chef are unbelievable, any excuse and they drop their pants...)

    *as humanity begins to infiltrate the Jollye Crewe once more, those who are able raise their eyes skywards as a rhythmic--gentle-- pulse can be heard approaching the ship. An albatross in a hi-viz vest lands elegantly next to our beloved Cap'un & removes a document from the briefcase under his wing & asks Marmite for ID who, in response, produces a blackened jar of breakfast condiment & the bird thrusts the gizmo towards the Skipper with an annoyed 'Sign here please. Got to use your finger cuz my quill's not working" before trying to exit. Unfortunately, he is tangled in Knitwit's yarn, left on deck to remove odorous traces of last night's supper, & only just escape's Cheffie who advances wielding a cleaver. The C'pin borrows MrsDoyle's spex, realises it is THOSE that need cleaning & not the vessel's 792 panes of 2" square windows, & begins to read aloud... !*

    Yesterday was a spend day.
    I purchased a birthday present for my cousin and I had to buy a new phone
    (lost the back up phone & my contract was running out so had a free upgrade).

    I also treated my partner to dinner since we hadn't eaten all day but won't be going there again!
    it came to £12 for 2 jacket potatoes & two drinks! :eek:


    Today I'm hoping to be an NSD.
    I did go to the local shops but my dad gave me money for what he wanted.
    Had a lovely walk with my partner and dogs up to the shops.

    Not a NSD today for me, bunnies needed hay, was very good though and didn't buy anything other than that.
    Total still sits at 5/15 (I started my month on 25/9).
    Working in a while so that will avoid any further spendage today. Have a good sunday all.
