Well now, it would seem that squandering my cash on life's incidentals (you know, bread, water, 'supplies for the (ahem) bathroom') are not 'essentials' to my bank manager, who has become alarmed at me spending his wonga. I've tried part exchanging a nice Duofold on a hike in my overdraft but even though I offered to throw in a bottle of Noodlers, he wasn't impressed. Why are guys in suits so...so...ANAL!!!

It's more than this girl can stand to see a grown man cry so if you wouldn't mind having a little squint at my latest daubs on ebay (my ID is peachez111) I'd be sooooooooooooo grateful.

Thank you.

This has been a public service announcement by the Peachez Waifs and Strays Organisation.

Your watercolors are lovely. Have you also considered listing them on etsy.com? That can be a better venue for the handmade items and art pieces.

I will happily take a look and see if I can help keep the bank manager at bay

The Easter cards that I brought from you were great.

Thanks for the compliment and for the tip!

Seems me and the kids have sent The Bank Manager into another flat spin. All we did was eat and we tried to do less of that and put the cats on a diet but it didn't work terribly well.

So, ebay - me peachez111 with a whole lot of new daubs to sell. We'd eat the watercolours only they taste like over cooked pasta without the pesto.

PS: Note to The Bank Manager -

Hello Matey,

How's the haemorroids doing? Still sore eh? I'm guessing so, since your last letter to me was written in red ink and you left the caps lock on. There really wasn't any need to add so many exclamation marks to the figures on my overdraft. I get the picture - I am a financial disgrace and must learn to live within my (your) budget. Well, I'm still feeling more sorry for you than I am for myself. At least I don't cry when I sit down. Being a kind soul, I have squandered some more of your cash on a job lot (no pun intended) of 'Turbo Strength' KY Jelly. The instructions say to 'apply liberally to affected parts...' Since I'm guessing your parts are in dire need (especially after your last telephone call to me) I've also bought you some rubber gloves and a sink plunger in hopes they might help with applying the stuff.

Yours - wishing you a speedy recovery,

Peachez

Somehow, your "wishing you a speedy recovery" style seems unlikely to bring him around to your point of view on the appropriate uses of lucre.

Well, I'm guessing the old KY didn't help any. So anyone with a little dosh to spare might like to take a look on fleabay. y ID is peachez111 and I'll take any currency so long as it's legal (ish)
