Knowing roughly where you live, can't picture the Asda - know all the others, but Asda? Is it new?
I go to that Asda sometimes. Was there Thursday;). You need to think a bit more laterally about where michaels lives. I however am worried that he now thinks I'm stalking him when he goes shopping on his bike.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

Is it the Asda with a Sainsburys the other side of the roundabout?I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Within comfortable bike distance - biggish Tesco, biggish Sainsbury's, biggish Waitrose.
Drivable near places I usually go anyway - middle-sized Sainsbury's, little Tesco, another little Tesco (although not really drivable because no parking), small Co-op, Lidl.
Drivable near places I don't usually go - biggish Morrison's, another couple of biggish Tescos, biggish Sainsbury's.
Usually try to be organised enough to get stuff delivered (Tesco or Ocado), but fairly often drop into the little Tesco that's round the corner from the kids' school if I just need to grab a few bits to tide us over until the delivery if I haven't got round to ordering it on the day I intended!
PS House update over on the other site.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

hey everyone!
Last bowls update of the season for me. We won a cup final today! Season over now.:( I miss it through the winter.
Strangely, this year have met up with a few faces from years gone by who have taken the sport up.:) All of them were suprised I played. A few were very suprised at how long I've been playing!:D I was happy to give them a damn good thrashing!:D:D
I'm about to finish this book:
Got to decide what to read next. It is a toss up between the following at the mo:
or
Should I start a poll?:D
Oh, btw LIR if you read this. I was on another forum (for the band James) earlier, & there is a poster called lostinsound (Sound being one of their most popular tracks). It's not you is it?:)It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -
I am currently reading one of the books sent to me by a fellow forum member for last Christmas by C.J Sansom (Dark Fire) after finishing his first book, Dissolution.
Must admit, I wasn't sure if I was going to like them as they are set a fair few hundreds of years back and I tend to prefer more current crime thrillers but within a few pages, I was absolutely hooked and couldn't put them down!We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0 -
Ooh, read the Mark Steel - really recommend it - it's fantastic - great guy and lots of interesting observations on life under Thatcher. Read it now!0

Is it the Asda with a Sainsburys the other side of the roundabout?
That's the only one I could think of, but is that not more than 20 mins by bike?
Maybe not - you can tell I'm not a bike rider as well as not a driver - I'm great on bus routes, but I'd struggle to tell you the quickest route from a to b, or how long it takes to get there.
Spooky to think we shop at the same supermarkets - we could all be queuing at the same checkout in Asda and never know it...
You can recognise us if it's family trip - I'm the one with the harassed-looking OH, 2 kids careering round the shop hanging off the sides of the trolley, like an ill-balanced racing car, little one wailing, trolley full of 'bargains' and me looking blankly down aisles trying to remember what I've forgotten.
That's why I usually try to stick to online shopping.

We used to play bowls in the college garden when I was a student. The ground was very far from flat - there were lots of lumps and bumps which IMO made the game more interesting. Every end was completely new and different. It changed my perspective of bowls: the "proper" game on a flat bowling green now seems to me as boring as playing golf on a course that's green-quality turf all the way from the tee to the hole. I'm sure it's very interesting for those who haven't had my unusual introduction to the game, though. Do you know anyone who's bereaved?
