    No-ones as orange as David Dickinson....:rolleyes: . I met him at a book signing in Bristol four years ago, he's a lovely guy and very friendly too.

    Quietish day today, except for a tankful of petrol at £52.00 :eek: :eek: . I only drive an Escort estate for goodness sake but I did get it from Tesco for my clubcard points.......did some shopping earlier in Somerfield £9.18.....that was about it.:rolleyes:

    That's a big petrol tank!!! Mine costs about £37 to fill completely and that's for a festia! But I passed a station on the way to work which was selling unleaded at £1.12p and diesel at £1.26p :eek:

    Hi all :D

    Funny old day really, I've tired myself out with the exercise bike and I haven't even got on the thing yet....:confused:

    Rang my mate up who lives in Box to suggest having a coffee with him as this bike was in the same village. He said "Ooh, I've got an exercise bike you can have for nowt!" so I rang the first woman and left a message that I wouldn't be needing the bike. Went over, saw his bike and it wasn't working properly ( no display ) so had a coffee and rang the first one to claim my bike again. Picked that one up and went on down to Dorset to visit my older two children. They asked me to take some stuff to the tip which meant I had to take the bike out the boot. Their mum saw it and said "Ooh, I like that one, can I have it and you can have mine as it's too big!"....:eek: . Deal done and now I've got it home, through the front door and into the front room, I'm too knackered to use it...:rotfl:

    Apart from that, spent £1. something on some milk. Off to bed now to dream about exercise bikes, sea scouts and Lucy covered in mud....:p

    I'm just manoeuvring the bike into position as we speak...:A

    Done the morning post run, whizzed around Tesco's for my shopping ( £26.77, 26 Clubcard points ), picked the boys up and took them to school, came home, packed the shopping away and sat down with a coffee wondering where to put this [STRIKE]clothes horse[/STRIKE], er, exercise bike. Out of sight of everyone looking in will be a good start, somewhere within sight of the telly is a must and there mustn't be any sharp objects within falling-off range either...:eek:
