    How on earth can we build up our emergency savings stash when Somebody keeps squandering our hard-earned dosh on cucumbers???? I told you before, Igor, if you insist on dishing up pilchard margharitas then keep the garnishes cheap and cheerful....a frozen pea on a cocktail stick is enough.


    exactly,i mean c'mon,what's wrong with a nice frozen pea on a stick.... i think that it adds a certain je ne sais quoi when partaking of a pilchard margarita or five.talking of which who else feel like a little snifter...?
    no igor that is not a veiled critisism of your short stature /your cooking skills/your unmentionables...talking of which,what is your mankini doing halfway up the flagpole...?

    Managed a NSD here today. Very busy with work which obviously helps in not spending anything! So 3/10

    aha,you almost slipped past unnoticed.... :o

    i did get a shock at you proclaiming #3,because i had you done as being at #4!!! :eek:

    i've doubled back and have sorted that out pronto. :)

    maybe i shouldn't have had that fifth margarita...
