    I've always found d in a dire emergency paraquat sandwiches go down a treat. The effects are permanent!!

    I've polished my headwear ( colander ) so much, that it will shine in the eyes of the enemy and blind them for long enough, so that those persons of a more ruthless disposition can make their attack unseen. However do not attack until you can see the whites of their eyes, or is that for horses ? And please do not give the paraquat sandwiches to any animal, horse or elephant or you may have a visit from the powers that be. Tip of the day... Zombies will only eat said sandwiches wrapped in a raw meat burger, not a veggie one :rotfl::rotfl:.

    Whispering...... well I am sitting here, looking all innocent and angelic, pretending that the weekly shop cost £54.96. In fact half the bill was for 5 garments in the Sainsbobs clothing sale :D
    Don't tell the MK tidying thread though :rotfl: I am decluttering, honest, I am!
    I have changed my work-life balance to a life-work balance. :grin:

    :rotfl: I sometimes do that with the housekeeping - if the clothes are too expensive I just sneak one or two things through :D

    Islandmaid Sorry that's not me. Who on earth would wear a gold scarf whilst on manoeuvres ? It has to be midnight blue or nothing and the bungee cords are just plain wrong ! :D

    I think it is a choice Nanny, either gold scarf or rolled up trouser leg as ID. I always carry a scarf in my bag in case I feel too wobbly to roll up clothing!

    Welcome to the Garden Fence, Chrystal. Other garden fences have old ladies leaning over them and having weird conversations ("Ooh! He never!" " He did all right! And then, she turned round and said...") or old blokes yacking on about fishing, football or the curry they had last night.

    This Garden Fence is like no other. The conversation is eclectic and unpredictable, covering all subjects you can imagine, and others you dare not even think of. Then once in a while someone asks for help or opens up about a problem, then whoosh! The gang has swooped in with offers of virtual tea, hugs and jelly babies. Never a dull moment here!
    One life - your life - live it!
