ps if the biscuit tin needed to be emptied before use even better | |

However, an 80watt bulb is quite expensive to run nowadays and i thought very carefully before spending any of my huge windfall 
Soooooo, i bought my wife some chocolates, bought a new mouse for my laptop (its great, it changes colour and everything)
As we had some left over, we blew it on food
So now weve eaten twice this week, we both feel so spoilt | |

We look. at it for breakfast
Sniff it for dinner
Lick the wrappers for tea
Dream bout it for supper
Unfortunately, Tesla refused to do the work of a mouse.
He said a mouse is a rodent and he is not
He wouldnt allow me to plug him in via his tail, also began sitting on keyboard and licking the screen
I reckon he deliberately sabotaged all attempts to carry out any mouse like duties.
Also, he doesnt keep changin colour | |

I thought anyone claiming benefits automatically got the cold weather payment for weeks which are very cold | |
