A new 'tougher' thread... and so it continues

living proof - I would be fuming, I remember when there was a whole loads of cases of contaminated petrol via supermarkets - it took ages to get everyone sorted. Hope you get yours all sorted quickly.

That last supermarket petrol thing bu**gered up the twin cats on our Ford Scorpio which would've cost £700 to replace !! We sold it instead.
Shegar pet you're a good strong amazing lady - some people have such hard lives and you're always so calm and dignified and lovely xxx
I'm speechless today (RV loving it!) as I had the endoscopy yesterday and it hurt my throat - but found I have a haitus hernia and they've decided, a very moody gallbladder which tends to throw hysterics if I eat too much fat :rotfl:drama queen !
I've swapped over to Aldis for the weekly food and last week it cost me £20!
It's cold here and the forecast is sleet or snow showers from Mon night on. Back to normal - and what a shock that will be for the wee lambs.
I still haven't used my Kenwood nukey choppy thing - I'm scared of it. I dono where to start and I'm dying for a nice pot of soup

Oh Mardatha sounds nasty - have they given you an indication if treatment? Hope you feel better soon.

mardatha

It's not nasty pet, nothing worrying. Just double dose of Omeprazole forever. Nothing really really serious like not being able to eat sweeties

Mardatha, before I was on Omeprazole I couldn't eat chocolate! Wonderful stuff! (The tablets I meant, but chocolate too!)

Must go now - going over to Bristol later for OS meet-up!

Well so long as you can still eat sweeties...:D

Am ever so slightly put out this morning, I got up early to have big cars windscreen repaired (tiny chip) they arrived and spent ten minutes outside before deciding it was actually two tiny chips and that means no repair!! New windscreen required - cost £75, gulp:eek:

But then announces he cant do today - will come back Monday! Now when I booked the appointment the guy warned me not all chips were repairable and that it may need replacing ( he sold me that almost never happens but need to warn you just in case), and that they would replace that day. Not impressed - have insisted it must be when OH is around as kids are off so not until Wednesday. What a faff!!

WCS - I think you may be right, I know I worked out for my friend a few weeks back that if she used her hours making more, shopping about etc rather than working, it was likely she was working for almost nothing, by the time you added in petrol and childcare I really couldnt understand why she bothered.

Yes that's what i'm thinking too - I have a day job which I love, so it isn't an option to make it my living, but as prices for raw materials and postage rise ever faster, and people have less spare money to purchase luxury items I may be better served using my skills for myself

Mar that sounds sore - look after yourself, and get going with that Kenwood!! I love mine - I can make loads of stuff in a very short time which is a blessing now I have arthritis. Soup would be just the thing right now - what about a quicky one that you probably have the ingredients in for? pea and mint soup - 3 pts water with stock cubes in, 8 ox dried green or split peas, couple of onions and handful of mint.

We have snow forecast for next week also - back to winter then - hope that wasn't summer, as happened here last year!!!!

Do you mean the one with the ET-like hand touching the mouse?
I read it as being said No booking fees. From. Home.
In the way ET'd say Eee Tee Phooone Hooome. ET punctuates each word with a pause, hence the commas.

Just my take on it

How clever. I thought it didn't make a great deal of sense even without the commas, but now it does! :rotfl:

The advice was you should keep one can of petrol in the garage which is not unsafe. It's a tragedy but not one where blame attaches

I agree, I wasn't attaching blame. I don't follow the news so was only alerted to the potential petrol strike on here!

mardatha

WCS, that's what we're dreading. This might have been summer 2012!!
I am hinting at the RV re the kenwood and soup. Trying to look wee and helpless and sweet and let me tell you - the last two take some doing!!
