If you are just going to Paris you do not need to have a car, traffic is horrific and parking expensive, if you want to go booze shopping a day trip to Calais and down the A16 to Leclerc at Boulogne, you can use Tesco vouchers on eurotunnel...................there is also a Tesco wine shop at Cite Europe......

afternoon all,
cooler and cloudy here today, just back from the park with dd and the boys, lot of things there but they preferred sliding down the grass slope on their bottoms, ah well they had fun
have made my raspberry jam turned out okay, goosies and blackcurrants next
was at asda this am but never seem to get a bargain they are too mean up here to reduce anything that much, got two fruit loaves down from 48p to 30p better than nothing

snowy owl - hope you have a good week off
moggins - thats fine everything is sorted out now with your xdh
penny pincher - sorry it didnt go well for you today, my neighbour has

about the size of the probiotic bottles, you also get the puddings too tho she isnt that keen on them, the drinks have different flavours and she gets them on prescription

Afternoon all.

Just wanted to say a very big thank you to you all, for your help and support over the last few weeks. The funeral went very well and was a lovely and fitting service for my nan.

We had about 20 people come back to my house afterwards, and it was lovely to catch up with family that we don't often see.

I have put the house back in order and have hung the last of the washing out, as we fly to Italy on thursday.

DH and I are off to Milton Keynes theatre tonight to see my hero of comedy Rik Mayall (hence my username) in the New Statesman. Hoping to catch him after for an autograph and a few piccies.

Well better go and get some tea.

Could you buy a white umbrella and trim it with lace yourself - then if it did rain - it would not be such a disaster?


Making home made turkey burgers with HM potato salad and buns for tea before we go to see my dad.

He was being given four units of blood the other day and looked a little bit brighter last night but it has been a blow to be told he will not walk again and is confined to bed.

DD went to see him last night and stratled the nurses with her bandaged face which was black and blue and swollen after nasal surgery three days ago.

hi again!

PP sorry you had a bad time at the hospital

Smashingblouse glad your nans funeral went ok and hope you enjoy Rik Mayall

Have played rescuer to 2 racing pigeons today - hubby keeps them and any found in this area end up on our doorstep, one is very poorly with exhaustion and the other was attacked by a hawk - unfortunately OH has just told me the one injured by the hawk has just died:( have to hope the other one makes it.

DS1 is attempting to tidy and polish his room:rolleyes: better succeed or he's grounded, am fed up with his idle ways:mad:

OH feeling pretty miserable about having to have more time off work, thinks he's let me down as money's a bit tight at the moment but have told him its not his fault, if he's too bad to work there's nothing he can do about it and that I dont blame him

Off to feed the dogs now, have a good evening all!

Evening all (can I say that when it's still light and warm??!!)

Well I've suffered today for my 2 hours sleep. Will certainly sleep tonight that's for sure!! Let's hope for my sake I don't start the thrad off again tomorrow or something's really wrong. Oo err...

Today I managed to cancel my veg box and got in contact with my mortgage advisor about reducing the life cover. Just waiting on a call back (we had voice-mail ping pong today as we kept mising each other. Hopefully tomorrow eh?). Then it's just sorting out the leccie his week left.

Think I'll fall asleep to a film tonight

Right Shez, here goes!:o

Iwas having trouble only with this site. I have to get into the router settings and adjust the MTU setting. No I haven't a clue what MTU stands for, DS2 just explained it to feeble-minded me as a package size for transmitting data. He said it has to be sent in bits not all at once and this was the maximum size of each bit. For MSE I had to reduce it down. Then down again when it next failed.
I later found out that DS4 had trouble with a site he was using and had to adjust it UP again, but luckily it doesn't seem to have affected me. I know there were others having problems with just this site and for some of us the common link was BT and PIPEX. They were talking about it on the techie board, but way too advanced for me!!

I expect that's all as clear as mud:D

Thanks, Churchmouse! Have just pm'd you, then carried on reading and found this post from you. We've got BT and Pipex, so that's obviously the problem! Will get DS to have a look on the Techie board

Ivyleaf, this was some time weeks ago, so your DS will have to go back some!! Not sure if it was proved to be anything concrete, just know there were several posts linking the two!! Good luck.

Will go read your pm, I've only just this second logged on!
