    So, how to explain to marmite that her secret stash of cash has been blown on the following:

    Bail money for Igor, being held for having an offensive chest wig.
    Bail money for knitwitch, being held for assaulting police officer who insulted her knitting.
    Bail money for zenshi and her entire gang of 666 Commando, who wrecked the joint as only a bunch of Marines know how.....(my OH was once, many moons ago, in that illustrious profession)
    Bail money for Chef and Mrs Doyle, for acting in a threatening manner when insulted about the bat curry and strong tea. Mrs Doyle with a rolling pin is not to be trifled with.
    Bail money for Hubert, for being an environmental hazard.

    And a delightful pair of Spongebob Squarepants Chewy Jims wellies with sequins and six inch platforms - dahlings, I HAD to buy them, they were SUCH a bargain!

    I suppose I could blame it on the voles, who also nicked the incriminating photos of Inspector Swindle of the Yard, so we had to pay the bail money.....Yes, it was the voles what did it!

    Good party, though.
    One life - your life - live it!

    It's amazing how far £23.61 will stretch these days...

    Yes I thought that last night's knees up went particularly well myself.....what the hell if The Good Ship Swobzedex ended up sinking,a whole gang of us were incarcerated.....Igor's favourite chest wig and Knit Witch's reputation torn asunder...the fact still remains that the journos from Booger Off magazine were there,and are planning a mega front page exclusive bombshell of an scoop....also meaning that we is gonna get our hands on a nice fat fee,hehehehehehhe.
    marmite has hidden depths and the machiavellian cunning of a very cunning fox who has just completed a course on 'how to be extra cunning like a fox' and got a gold star and a 'Teacher's Pet' badge!
    Hip hip hooray! :j
    The first thing I'll do whenI get my grubby little mitts on that money is rush out and stockpile a lot of loo roll....promise. ;)

    Offensive chest wig! I will have you know that this particular chest wig has been knitted using only the finest lambswool and bamboo mix, and provided it doesn't get into salt water it will be pristine and look stunning for decades!
    Oh and I am claiming number 27 :rotfl:
    That's what I told them Knitty but would they listen,hm,hm?!!!!!!!!!!!!

    'shakes head in disbelief'

    Will try and finish off my October accounts tomorrow so that I can work out where I got to with NSDs (have a sneaky I didn't quite make my target of 15), but it may be Tuesday when I only have a half-shift before I'm really awake enough to do so.......
