£9961! Decent result, that.

Chippy teas for all.

Congrats for that. That's the sweet spot where we can be pleased for you with being jealous and turning on you.

Imagine what Richie Freebird had done if he'd won that amount.

Someone donated £6 to our fundraiser. What kind of monster doesn't go with a 5 or 0 ending donation?

[deathrey]

Must have typed the wrong number surely? 

Though I will add that in Indian cultures it's frowned upon to give ending in a 5 or 0. I.e we gift money for lots of things such as in a birthday card, its typical £11, £21 etc. giving £10 or £20 is considered arsehole behaviour

Ooh that's interesting to know. Didn't know there could be a reason like that. I might go easy on anonymous then!

Congratulations buddy. Who gives you the big cheque?

Thats the only draw back. You can have the money but you have to answer the door to one of This Morning’s bottom tier presenters.

We are going on family holiday next week Dropped youngest off at nursery today and told his mate that he spent all day with yesterday had called in sick this morning with chicken pox. Fucking wonderful. 

Also woke up to find ants in the kitchen. Fuck knows how they got in so had a morning trying to deal with that, seal up any holes and pray for them to piss off.

I have a friend who will donate potentially multiple times in seemingly random amounts like 3, 8, 6. Some people just want to watch the world burn

Get some of this:

(as long as you don't have wandering toddlers or nosy pets) 

You put a blob on a penny near their path, the idiots march it back to base thinking it's nectar and kills them all. Works a treat.

We do have wandering toddlers unfortunately. My husband thinks he's figured out where they got in so we've sealed it up and put some ant powder down whilst the kids are at nursery. We think they are under the house. I wonder if that would work outside so it kills all the ones under the house? May be worth a try if we can keep the neighbours cat away.

Edit: actually, we are going on holiday next week. Could put this out into he kitchen before we go. Cheers @Onyx2
