Pleasures for today.

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Sons off to school happily.

3) Cold has now reached "stinking" category so went back to bed at 8am when bigger son had left.

4) HM soup and bread for lunch.

5) Brother came round to mend the kitchen sink tap.

6) Mum popped round with some flowers for me!

7) When I went for my paper, Sue the Shop pointed out that baking potatoes are 35p so I only bought 2!

8) Sons came home; bigger son had made pineapple upside down cake. :-)

9) Smaller son's taxi got stuck in the snow outside the house! Brother and I pushed it out and a passing farmer got off his tractor and helped us too.

10) Text from Sixth Form College friends about meeting up over Easter. We're also going to Laserquest with another college friend and her 2 children.

11) MrN's sons 3 and 5 visited.

Funny today - a strange individual on this very forum decided to swear at me and tell me to "get a life" and that I was "lonely". First time in 20 years that someone has been rude to me on the internet. Had to laugh at the lonely bit with all the people coming and going today.

and 12) Still got my cold so will be away to bed in a while with a couple of hwb and Holby. Must do PE kit and set the breadmaker going first...

2. Finding a fiver (!) in some OH's washing
3. Finding a 49p Asda womble from a receipt I picked up on Saturday
4. Having Mr Robin come to the back door to be fed
5. Finding a place to get cheap thread from

Frith, by sheer chance [I've had an enforced sort of near-putah-all-day day]I saw this and did not wade in, deliberately. Posted sth which I hope indicated all readers were aware of this oickness. Strongly felt poster was a troll-reactor and seeking same. A year ago, I might have felt it more necessary to ride in to your defence, but you no longer wear that more fragile Frith foremost. Take yet another bow, esp. by contrast with that particular parent whose daughter is sans doute longing to fledge some sort of wings in NY.

p.s. to welcome Rage in Eden[like that, very much], esp to learn of Wombling chez Asda! All my years of training and practice have been @Mr T. Lawks, is there any way I can multi-event for Rio 2016?

I only hope he is a troll. I looked at some of his previous posts (something I never do, check back on people!) and my "favourite" was that his daughter had become a vegetarian so he had "forced" (his word) her to eat meat by confiscating basically everything she owned then she had lost 7lbs. Which rather begged the question how he knew what she weighed? I have no idea what my sons weigh and, if they were 17, wouldn't dream of asking!

LOL well the name is courtesy of my fave band ever! Best wombled receipt ever in Asda's carpark was nearly £6!!! but 49p is not to be sniffed at for bending down and picking up a piece of rubbish, I'm not too proud LOL
