Ay up!

Holliers delayed.

One of our two cats, Rosie, has had a blood blister on her ear for a bit. This gave her no trouble until yesterday when it burst. Blood all over Rosie and our bed. OK, the bed can be changed. Rosie, after a trip to the V-E-T has had to wear a lampshade thingy until she has an op on Monday.

This makes it hard for her to eat and impossible to wash. And Rosie is a fastidious little girl when it comes to personal hygiene.

Wallet is worried. A repair job put £60 in it last night. Such riches! How long before I remove it? :twisted:
If I ain't here, I'm in Bilston, scoffing decent chips at last!!!!

Wallet's just had a kicking again today - this time for car parts. Brake rebuild on the cards for Fifi.

Ay up!

I have been reported to SOPCYW (the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Yorkshire Wallets) today. I am now one Britannia loco kit (thanks, Autocar!) and one Triang LMS 2P, mint & boxed from CashConverters here in Dewsbury. £60 for the kit, £30 for the Triang - bargains!

Wallet is looking very pale indeed......

Now what else can I get while it ain't looking? :twisted:

How d'you think I looked after coming face to face with the most feared device since the Spanish Inquisition decided to purchase extendable tables? :shock: :shock: :shock:

Ay up, AC!

Yes, I noticed you shudder upon meeting Wallet. Still, I managed to extract £60 from it and ONLY got trimmed fingernails for my trouble!

As for chips wi' bits - I'm getting ahead of the game!

Ay up!

I heard today from the Boss that payment may be late this month.

The Wallet escaped from my pocket. :shock: :shock:

The Boss starts counselling tomorrow. He's being sewn back togather tonight! :shock:

The Wallet is growling to itself in the corner. And gnashing its teeth.....

Ay up, MSE!

There's a possibility. Parachute it into the Afgham hills and watch the rebels come running out.

Hang on - I'm sure that's against the Geneva Convention!
