    I don't know - it's not as if you can fiddle the screening by pretending you have 16 kids if that's what you think they're after as you always are eligible for what they send you. Maybe I'm just unique :rotfl:.

    ETA -:eek::eek::eek: my little African pets are back :eek::eek::eek:

    £49.50 on yougov, nearly there :j

    Kerching :T:T:T:T:T:T, just need to wait for it to turn up now :money:

    Also £5 in from Halifax :j and £32 yougov, not a bad day :D

    Apart from the £160 spent on 3 ton of stones & matting for front garden. Which I half dug up myself, laid the matting myself & no doubt will spread the stones myself. FINE. (Need to keep the 'right, b*gger them, I'll do it myself' mentality going for a few more days to give myself the drive the to do it :rotfl:).

    Also spent £9 in Mr M but got tons of reduced fruit & veg, including asparagus & rhubarb :D. But been so busy in garden I have made zilch for lunch tomorrow, except some spicy lentil soup which bizzarely I decided to make earlier :cool:. Shame I'm not at Michelle's, am sure she could rustle something up from her storecupboard :D

    Re the African pets, other 'women of a certain age' come back with a strapping & handsome 6 footer, I get a load of beetles. FINE :rotfl:

    Lost 1.5lbs at SW last night so nearly back down to lowest. Would like to get my 3.5 stone award :eek: before my birthday, only 2lbs to go so should be doable :).

    DD home this weekend :D

    Hope all well :)

    But beetles have six legs each, so you could say that other women may only get one six-footer if they're lucky, but you got lots. ;)

    Well, I watched Rick Stein tonight. Depressed me & cheered me up in equal measures :cool:. Where he is cooking is the kind of scenery near my place (though actually a few hundred miles away), and most of what he was cooking/eating made me want to lick the TV :o

    NSD :j

    Applied for a Halifax Clarity card to use oseas, hopefully it will be approved :o and here in time for my holiday :cool:. 24 sleeps :T

    Thanks all for rushing to help. FINE. :rotfl:

    I've done it myself. Delivery driver was really good at trying to spread so it only took 40 minutes. Could have done with another ton really which is a bit annoying as I nearly rang up to order another. Still, I'll buy a few bagfuls instead.

    Back hurts now, off for a bath :)
