Regarding painted ladies, this sprung to my mind:
It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -

where even a draw would have sent us down (on goal difference).
It was hell on earth. 3-0 down at half time. Despondency everywhere. We were rubbish.
Other results & some better stuff second half lifted some spirits (honourable 2 mentions to mr pavlychenko). I don't have a smart phone or anything, & assumed that because everyone would be trying to get reception they'd all crash. A mate 120 miles away was texting me. In the last 25 minutes I received 23 texts!:eek:It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -
Double congratulations NDG. When will moving day be? Your rings are beautiful, lucky girl!
PN, am I the only one who doesn't have a clue where you're going? I'm five minutes from the motorway, but if lemonjelly is in the wrong direction then I must be too!
I failed to wake up this morning. DD is 6 and she woke me up at 8.19am fully dressed in school uniform, teeth brushed. Then she shouted at DS to get up and succeeded! Everyone made it to school on time, though I didn't get out of the car in the state I was...
It's very, very windy and grey here, miserable.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

lemonjelly wrote: »Had a srange experience this weekend. The banks advise how severely we need to protect our pins etc. Went to the cashpoint saturday morning. As I approach, an elderly lady gets out a car & moves towards the same cashpoint. If I'd sped up my pace, I'd have easily got to the cashpoint first. But I wasn't in a rush, & worried that if I did it might worry her, so I slowed, & followed her up the slope (very slowly...). As she got to the cashpoint she turns to me & says sh's glad I turned up, as she can't see the cashpoint at all & needs help. I had to help her enter her pin, decide which facility & how much to get out, & so on. As she leaves, she tells me that she always has to do this - sometimes waiting for someone to come along to help her!:eek:
I'm quite a paranoid person in a lot of respects (see for example the slowing down walking as I didn't want her to think I was about to mug her - even though it was a shopping area on a sat morning in broad daylight) so it was linda nice for someone to so instinctively trust. At the same time, worrying the risks this lady regularly takes.
Or do we just worry too much?
Surely she wasn't driving with eyesight that poor? So why didn't her driver/friend help her?0 -
No, just a few stalkers know enough to plot most of the route from the clues.Doozergirl wrote: »

I think you're about 20-30 miles north of my outward journey, so you're too far 0 -
