IT WAS £25.00 VERY WELL SPENT (SHE SAVED £75.00) AND IT WAS NOT ON FOOD!

Yes, she's been spending money! Now this is actually something that happens quite rarely as F is one of her initials.. frugal by nature, if not by name!

Get on with it GeeGee (I can hear you) what did she spend that £25.00 on? Well, she gave herself a gift of a year's Digital Subscription to The Daily Telegraph. The price is usually £100.00 per year but they had a four day sale and she snapped it up this afternoon!

We have just read last Saturday's and Sunday's editions.. but haven't got to deal with all that paper! What a treat. The other papers that she reads are available free online but the Telegraph limit their readers, as do the NY Times, to only so many articles before cutting off the supply, as it were.

With cold winter weather fast approaching it will be such a nice treat to curl up in the evening to read this at our leisure, she finds lots to read at her beloved Library, another good place to read papers and magazines.

Oh, she is SO grateful to both her parents who instilled in her the love of the written word.

Now, what else is here apart from the iPad? Yum.. a jar of mixed nuts, cashews and walnuts and two juicy apples. It is a good thing she has a little DustBuster as I chomp nuts on the top blanket which then has to be vacuumed before we go to sleep.. otherwise Mr and Mrs. Mouse would probably be leaping up there during the night and you can just imagine what she would have to say about that!

It was St.Andrew's Day yesterday, You would probably only be aware of this if you are a Scot or are of Scottish descent. He was the younger brother of Peter and it is said that he died on an X shaped cross, hence the Blue Saltire (The Scottish Flag).

Anyway, that's your lot for today, the first of December.. stay warm folks and eat sensible rib warming yumyum.. Me.. I'm awaiting a package from LazyBoyBruce, he has sent us some Manx Kippers, they will be here on Wednesday.. oh.. roll on Thursday mornings breaking of the night's fast!

GeeGee Parrot.
