Good. Stick to your guns. It is amazing what people will poke their noses into isn’t it? We had people opening all the kitchen cupboards and fridge. Cheek!
We are always asked to be out for viewings though I dug my heels in last Saturday when they turned up unannounced. The Saturday before I noticed the chair and laundry basket on the landing had been moved and it turnd out they had gone up in the loft. Cupboard doors opened etc. This process is not for the faint hearted. When my friend moves in with us for the second half of March we wont be going out.
Nothing wrong with that @OldBut Bold.I have started to believe that life isn't nearly as funny as I see it and it's just my aspie-ness translating events into a 5-year-olds eyes
No not every day...maybe after I've decided which neglected area of the house to tidy/clean...emptied the cats litter tray...find something that still fits me...checked my bank account...then I might think about itYou mean you don't?
Morning...I can hear mayhem upstairs I wonder who that could be?...feeling a little better today still have a sore throat & hardly any voice but getting there...ordered shopping online not going out if I can avoid it a beautifully sunny morning but freezing here...heating going on...woke to a 6.5 so numbers better that they have been for most of the last ten days...lets hope it continues.
Oh no! Can’t believe he’d swap George Harrison for a Christmas tree light up. Perhaps he was under pressure from his family to attend? How long did you stay with him after that? ( would have spelled the immediate parting of ways I think if it’d been me)
Good morning/evening folks, a 5.9 on the dice keeps me on the edge of the plains. Quit my job yesterday, first time in over forty years on site I've felt the need to do that, the three hour daily commute there and back was just getting too much, so new job on Monday that's twenty minutes on the bus into town, my van and me will be happier with that hopefully.
Have a lovely day all.
If Mr PM leaves the house by 06.30 his drive is one hour, after 07.00 it can be be 90 minutes. So he leaves home before 06.30 and returns between 19.30 and 20.00 small wonder he is permanently tired.Good grief, 3 hours!?! Even in the US I haven't known anyone with that long a commute.
Congratulations on quitting, and best wishes for your new job. My first full-time job involved a bus ride of about 20-30 minutes. I learned to read standing up in the aisle, and sometimes I was able to take a nap on the way into town.

Quite a psalm 38 start for me. 1 Timothy 6: 17-19 seems very apposite since 2016 (2008?) - apposite but totally unheeded.
I believe for @trick60 , that's a 1 1/2 hour trip..each way..excessive for sure
but here in the UK most employers consider an hours journey to wok normal..(mine did)
i guess in cities that's not such an issues.. but in small towns and villages it could be.
and reading..yep i seen the tube fill up most days and we've progressed (?) from the broadsheets, to tabloid papers onto kindles, now mobiles and all while being serenaded by the beautiful "tik, tak, tik, tik, tak,tak, tik " sounds of someones personal music choice being just that "LITTLE TOO LOUD, YOU MORON"..Moments, we all know and love.
never fell asleep per se, but have, while merry, missed a stop once or twice
not too bad normally but i had one occassion went to end of line, several stops past mine..oblivious to the journey,
only to find the last train ?.".it WAS that one, sir."...
that was a LOOOOONG walk home , that night..
Yes that's Molly...we arrived at Euston Station on our way to visit another aunt...Molly had never been on an escalator before & her first experience was traumatic (for us too) her co-ordination wasn't brilliant (the brandy) so she missed her footing & travelled up the escalator partly on her back displaying underwear that hadn't been on display since Queen Victoria's unmentionables were shown at the V & A many years ago...my mother was apoplectic one of the heels on her best wedding bought shoes broke as she tried to extract her sister from the moving stairs meanwhile the rest of us were busy trying to pretend we didn't know them...it was a car crash journey I shall never forget.
No Saskia I'm sure you're are fine...Molly was such a character could swear like a trooper loved a wee nip or three but was terribly pious in her dress...she never moved anywhere without the 'proper foundation' garments & a good solid of pants!keep to trousers in the future.
I do food shopping online often Saskia can't be doping with the supermarkets...I use several Tesco's Sainsbury's Ocado & sometimes when I feel like being indulgent Waitrose...have a look online where you are you should find plenty who will deliver the sites will tell you if they cover your area...for other things I'll use Amazon that's really handy yesterday I ordered a present for my friends daughter I have Amazon Prime so do not pay separately for next day delivery...I order so much online saves me driving...try it you never know until you do.Do you order from some place local, or central like Amazon?
We got a free sample cat soup in a promotion...I never gave it to them it was left with the other cat food...Liv (cat sitter & neighbour) was fascinated by it...on my return home one evening she told me excitedly she'd given it to them while not best pleased I said nothing I should have thrown it away...I wouldn't buy it for them.But I have never seen cat soup sold commercially ... yet.
Would have made a fortune fortunately for Molly there were no mobile phones back then...at least not for the likes of us.oh dear..now if that was on video, you'd be an Instagram/youtube star for sure
I can nderstand in those cicumstances with a sick older cat. In the days before my Ginger died I tried everything to get him to eat, jars of baby weaning food, custard (which he loved), and other stuff I cant remember now all to no avail.@DJC3 and @PenguinMum and @jjraak

Sometimes vets will prescribe or make up a soup for older cats who have lost their teeth, or whose kidneys are failing, to keep them well hydrated. But I have never seen cat soup sold commercially ... yet.
