    I have been pretty busy.... Saturday went to Bury St Edmunds with the other half and our 2 girls ( 1st son doesn't want to come out with us now he's a teenager, and 2nd son was at scout camp all weekend) had gregs for lunch, a lovely walk around abbey gardens and spent £82 on 2 pairs of school shoes :eek: Then had a BBQ for dinner... Sunday was spent sat on my fat a*se.. Monday we went to Felixtowe beach, had a picnic and dipped our feet in the sea, then picked up 2nd son and his mate from camp, then another BBQ for dinner (got to make the most of the nice weather lol) today i have been trying but failing to do housework, 2nd son has been a right grump from lack of sleep.. took girls to hairdressers - got completely soaked on the way cos of an unexpected downpour, and then got even more soaked on way home from an even bigger downpour... i am now sat with a towel and a large glass of wine....

    no wins to report....

    mmm Wine that sounds like the same downpour that struck whilst Minibot and I were trying to cut a branch off our walnut tree. He was up the ladder complaining about getting wet and I was holding the ladder saying it was fine. We were then stuck under the tree until smallBot came out with umbrella.

    I didn't realise there were so many "Bots" .... are they breeding? :eek:

    I thought there was only Mr Bot, Mrs Bot and 2 mini Bots.

    Oh and of course Dog Bot and Newt Bot :D

    That would be Mr Bot and I that did the breeding :rotfl:

    The above mentioned miniBot and small Bot are the two mini bots. there are also older Bots as that is where Mr Bot and I came from...

    I saw Mrs Wine on the car comp today, not sure if Mrs Bot was there or not.....but did you see those comments at the end?

    Absolutely disgraceful there are some real nasty folks and ungrateful chits, tis no wonder we getting less and less comps.

    I certainly wouldn't be wanting to run comps and get replies like that some folks should be ashamed :(

    I posted the car comp on the thread.

    It's not a great way to run a competition if it keeps glitching though. The other issue is that not all the comments are visible so people think the winners haven't commented.

    Been too busy out the garden to do much end date comping today. Agree most of the prizes aren't ones I would bother with. That is unless somebody can do me a handy list of those with letters I'm missing?

    The garden is looking better though.
