Smile "Good Read"

Hi Lazydog,
Nice Little read that was this morning.

I think my few cloves that are growing, should be safe, however, i will step up security, now i know they are worth a few quid???????
I think i will plant some more, and when the time comes, visit all the "Chinkies" in the area with my "Prize Golden Globes"

Weather is garbage here this morning, rain, rain and yes, rain. I was hoping to get out with my new metal detectors today, but not alot of chance now.

The Forum is very quiet at the moment, but it is to be expected, all the "Rich" members?????, fly out to the sun.

Have a "Happy Sunday" all, cya soon stupo

We have finished helping to move youngest son, its surprising how much stuff he has got. We wont be flying to the sun this Christmas as doctors say no to flying. We may cruise a few days on the Isle of Wight Car ferry.We dont want to be far away when baby Bovril arrives.However we let the staff have a few extra days off. Away for a few days now for bed testing from Monday till Wednesday. Marmite.

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou for all the kind wishes. Please fell free to drink a toast on my behalf and Mrs Marmite. No more bed testing untill 12Jan 2010.They said it was urgent but the doctors are on leave, moving house, and on pertenatiy leave so there's no one left. But I can go private, and be seen next week by one of them. I wont repeat what I said for fear of being shown the red card.I could pay in cabbages and a parsnips.So Have a great Christmas and New year.Fondest regards Marmite.Waiting for father christmas to arrive. Yes I do belive.

Thumbs up reply

Hi Marmite,
"No Bed Testing" ???? Could go private???? How "Rich" you must be?????
I bet the cost, was as much as "Lilo" charges for a night of Bed testing????
without the extras???
They say its tough at the "Top", but the foods better????

Glad you and "Mrs Marmite" are feeling a little better.

Best Wishes to you both, "All" your family, and of course, not forgetting sonic, scamp & spike, have a "Great Christmas" & New Year.
cheers, "The stupos" Mr & Mrs.

Rich you must be joking. We are so poor the central heating is a candle in the middle of the room, and we cook over that as well.As for drinking if we did not have a hole in the roof we would not have running water. We use old boxes for shoes. Lilo sends down some of her old dresses which I must admit, I do look fetching when I'm out and about. My mobile phone is two cans joined up with a piece of string.Neto, Primark, lidil are to expensive for us. When we go window shopping we come home with glass. Regards from Marmite.
