dude comes up with me first thing and does lambing pens which is a great help(y) he then trots off for his weekend chores at the care farm:):banghead:

i head home for shower + shave....passing a neighbours yard i see his teleporter burnt out:oops: ....he's there and tells me a fire started 2am near his workshop...he dragged the fire out saving his barns/pigs/cows/hay but lost the teleporter in doing so:(.....bad luck but could've been a lot worse:rolleyes:....he has news on my other neighbour which sounds positive hopefully(y)

i head down to arkwright cos i'm outta 'cherry' so need derv for my teleporter.....granville is using his van for deliveries....he's chittering about it....i suggest a bike:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:......cinders' birthday tommoz....get card for mum to send...she'll get money but i buy some jellybabies for her as well:)

dude and i head home for lunch....my neighbour has just fetched a teleporter from YOMB.....drove it back from 'naam then out side his gate the seat switch decides that no-one is on the seat and refuses to move :banghead:......a detour for us... more hassle for him:(

only a single for resta day:scratchhead:...but i eat the jellybabies:whistle:
