    I guess it wasn't a serious post then! why post if you don't want to join in?

    Because sadly some people think it makes them grown up and big and clever to say stupid things.. they don't often realise when they just look plain silly.

    They cannot see how helpful this thread is to its many regular members because they are blinded by their own ignorance.

    We don't mind really.. we have people here with a variety of problems, physical disabilities and mental health problems :D It is nice to be thought of every now and then even if people don't post often.

    Well I am not housebound and have a very busy life. What a shame a woman like yourself feels the need to be nasty to other people. I have just seen your post on another thread regarding cleaning and quite frankly it is disgusting. Shame on you for wanting to hurt peoples feelings. Maybe you need to find a new outlet although i guess you find this thread an easy target - how sad

    Afternoon all

    Barbecue was a great success. The weather was brilliant and there was lots of good food and booze. Didn't get to bed until nearly 1am after having put one dish washer load on.

    Two more dish washer loads have been done and dusted and put away. The garden is back to rights, a gazillion empty bottles have been put in the recycle bin. Around 20 people came in the end, staggered across late afternoon and evening.

    I have just washed the kitchen floor and am now going to have a kip for an hour!
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
