Morning all. It is grey here too. This may help. I hope it doesn't offend anyone but it cheered me up:

Stevie Wonder is playing his first gig in Tokyo and the place is

Absolutely packed to the rafters.

In a bid to break the ice with his new audience he asks if anyone

Would like him to play a request.

A little old Japanese man jumps out of his seat in the first row and\

Shouts at the top of his voice "Play a jazz chord ! Play a jazz chord .

Amazed that this guy knows about Stevie's varied career, the blind

Impresario starts to play an E minor scale and then goes into a

Difficult jazz melody for about 10 minutes. When he finishes the

Whole place goes wild.

The little old man jumps up again and shouts "No, no, play a Jazz

Chord, play a jazz chord".

A bit peed off by this, Stevie, being the professional that he is,

Dives straight into a jazz improvisation with his band around the B

Flat minor chord and really tears the place apart. The crowd goes

Wild with this impromptu show of his technical expertise.

The little old man jumps up again. "No, no. Play a jazz chord, play

A jazz chord".

Well and truly p* off that this little guy doesn't seem to

Appreciate his playing ability Stevie says to him from the stage

"OK smart !!!!. You get up here and do it !"

The little old Japanese man climbs up onto the stage, takes hold of

The mike and starts to sing...........

" A jazz chord to say I ruv you "

Just been looking at the beginning of Nid's thread. Oh my gosh. Where did he find the time to do all of that? Well done, the Nid.

Gettingtherequickly

Morning all

Made the mistake of not logging on and then having to catch up, won't do that again!

Currently trying to recover PPI and they are trying to fob me off, alot of dosh involved so of course I want it back, my bank account would look alot healthier

Glad see all appear to be fighting fit, even if the weather is a bit carppy

If I were you Ann I'd list them as in need of dry cleaning. I've noticed the more 'honest' you are with your listing the more you seem to get. People seem to trust you more. Make sure you cover your postage though. My son's gf listed a huge parcel of baby clothes for postage of £1.50 but it cost her £12 to post

With regard to clothes, I would photograph them onto Ebay, and add an extra few pounds for dry cleaning to the price and only dry clean them if they sell. If they dont give them to charity.

I hadn't heard of Ebay last summer. I could kick myself i gave away Bally boots & v expensive handbags to charity. Still at least someone had a bargain!!!

Thanks for the advice, Moneypenny and SW.

Hadn't thought of postponing the dry cleaning until they are actually sold - really good advice.

I am about to rescue them from the chairty bag, which is a good use of my time because it is raining here at the moment. I still feel guilty about not doing much during the day - the work ethic is well and truly entrenched in my psyche!

I know what you mean about postage and Ebay, Moneypenny. Sold some stuff a couple of months ago and really under-estimated the postage cost! Unfortunately, the items did not go for much, which made I made a net loss on the deals! But, it did teach me a valuable lesson - learning the hard way!

Hope you soon feel better Moneypenny.

Have a good day everyone.
