  • Listen, I only informed the chickens about their avian rights (same as in Ooman Rights, but for birds). Not my fault we have a hyper intelligent flock of chickens who have been reading up about the Trades Union Movement and the right of workers to withdraw their Labour!

    Has Mrs D been informed?

    I'm not sure I can face the wrath of Mrs D...

    Whispers 'we could always sell Igor's antique bedpan collection and use the money to buy more chickens?'

    Of course,that would mean having to buy new tupperware-style containers to store our emergency sprouts curry rations. :(

    Drat.

    You mean that bedpan collection you flogged last month to raise the money to stock up on T*sco' s Old Widow champers when it was on BOGOF?

    Igor!!!!
    I am not happy with the liberties you are taking with my precious gardening slippers.

    No,it was not me who discarded all your flea ridden,mouldy chest wigs...it was Nargle.

    Indeed.

    I want my slippers returned in pristine state by the time the big hand reaches 12 tomorrow,or there'll be trouble.

    Don't forget that I am in possession of certain photos of a compromising nature...
  • Go you!!!! :j:j:j
    5 in a row,eh?
    Wow,I can see that we've got a champion on our hands here.
    Right,let's get the sherry glasses out,shall we? ;)

    'rushes off to award prize'

    Well done slowly! :j

    Thank you, that's very welcome.

    TBH I was/am desperately trying not to increase my debt. So any NSD day is a victory for me, it took me a long time to get my LBM (and still not sure I have it completely, but I'm working on it!!)
    current CC debt: £11,500 at 0%
    paid debt since Nov 2015: £750

    You should be proud.
    Spend,spend,spend is so much part of our culture now.
    As for LBMs,often they remain a work in progress,if you see what I mean.You know,we can all slip up a bit from time to time.
    I had my LBM moment in 2009,but this year I lost control quite a bit and have had to use precious savings to sort it out. :(

    Well done for not adding to your debt. :)
