Grumblin at Garmin on the Granny Gear
I decided to remove a can of cider and put it somewhere safe in case I get burgled.

I'm willing to look after it for you.
 
Ginger cat on one side f me, MrsL on the other, both snoring, so much for getting some kip
Come here. I have plenty of wood that needs sorting, splitting and stacking.. Another ton was delivered last week... :whistle:

My oh recently commented on the fact that he didn't know why i kept on buying note tonic water when we had plenty in the cupboard in the cold room (actually bedroom number 2, but it's rather cold in there (will probably be very warm in there in summer). I had to tactfully point out that i was recycling the bottles and they were full of water*! You could try a similar approach with your thief... your cider would then be very safe and you could sleep soundly... :glug: :drink:

I always get hungry after catching up on here! Off to raid the cereal cupboard before bed.
Just finished off the lady piece of the (vegan) chocolate and raspberry cake I had made up for my sister's wedding. Picking it up on Friday meant we had to stay eating it before their wedding...:whistle: it's a hard life... :giggle:


*our water is rain water from a tank which needs both the pipes not to be frozen in the ground and us to have electricity to be able to have water. So far it is frozen 3, no electricity 2.... We've been here 6 weeks (?).

I thought it was ten bob.

It actually varies depending on which competition you're talking about, though the original was 'I claim the Westminster Gazette prize' (of between £10 and £50). The £5 came from the inheritor of the Westminster Gazette, the Daily Mail, sometime after the war.

Having said that, the standard meme on the internet is £5, and tbh I'm not sure the exact amount matters for the purposes of the joke.
