    People have hijacked The Stables! 'Stay down, there's a robbery!' :rotfl:

    Agreed! It's so busy in the Country that they're spilling out of everywhere, standing room only, half a dozen strangers in the stables. It's someone's birthday, so I guess it's still OK for the wine tonight. Think I confused them with the tale of my suet dumplings, though :o Free bingo anyone? :rotfl:

    Marru, sorry about before, the doorbell went and it was Mike the Cat Man, then my parents turned up one after the other - chaos!!
    Off to the community meeting in a bit to see what opportunities there might be for work (thanks Marru!)

    LOL, don't think they take kindly to us having a conversation and interrupting theirs!

    Hello,

    Not to worry Bails - I thought you went to look for the card that I mentioned. I saw the chaos at the stables just before got kicked out. Struggling to get back in. I think failing that I shall go to the retriet in Amazon.

    PS I've got a message from someone cute from the dating site ;)

    Hi,

    I will come and join you for the picnic, I am at the moment cooling down at the sea shore in Amazon. It means way to go (I think).

    Gala bingo is so busy tonight I keep getting shut out and ending up some place in the Amazon. Can't get into Country at all. Perhaps I'll find you all somewhere once I've got myself comfortably seated with a nice glass of wine - it was a gift last year, I didn't buy it. :D

    Marru - sorry for inviting you on a picnic and then ignoring you, i'm having (ex?) boyfriend trouble at the moment... :(

    good news though, just won £10.... thank you bingo gods! I have transferred it to lotto so its safe and sound. Phew I was getting worried the £5 i 'invested' last week wasn't going to pay off, and i would be the first person in the history of the world to lose money at free bingo!

    hmmmm £5 profit for all those hours paying bingo.... must be the worst hourly rate of pay possible :rotfl:

    Hey Jumble, that's great news about the win (sorry about the boyfriend trouble though).
    Where is everyone? Marru's in the stables with me but not there, anyone else?
    Is anyone watching the programme about having loads of kids? :eek:
