All safely in bed, apart from me. The traffic!!

Gave GROWLERS jnr's some nice sparklers and a mug of hot cocoa. Well happy they were, and all within the extensive grounds of GROWLER towers.

I've taught them to expect little from life, so they weren't disappointed. Extatic in fact.

Total cost? Three quid including the leccy. Lafin. cloud9:

Tee Hee. Neighbour's horribly overgrown Leylandii hedge caught fire. Fire Brigade called, whole nine yards. Bit like a miniature Californian Forest Fire. Twat scout leader the other side attempted to put it out with his personal fire extinguisher.

What wassock sets off fireworks in an 18ft garden with a 12ft hedge on one side.

Nah. I really pushed the boat out and lit them....via the gas cooker. Cheaper than matches.

Bloody hell, you did that much damage in one night?

If it had been anyone else I'd have been impressed.  point:

We have one of those "constantly falling down" sort of houses

OK?

I also gather that the local church is now selling pics of our house to raise money. Bastards. See also: Dinner service etc.!

I did wonder what the effects of long term exposure to Nick-o-rays would be. I'm glad I'm a (hopefully) safe distance away  eeek:
