    Lidl here was like locusts decending...no parking even. Instead went to plant centre and bought a japenese wineberry and a bargain kiwi. Now have to clear a space to plant the kiwi!
    That'll be the £6.99 for 24 loo roll offer that's on again.... I should have gone myself today.

    I might have come too :)

    Wild swimming in the cake.... etching swan pedalo designs on the heat-baked earth in the heat of the summer. And, you've got those horsey things.... never been on one of those, I might even get to get on one :)

    You'd find your cats missing though as they'd be in my place getting force-fed overdoses of pure kitty luff.

    :)

    My cats would love that, they are very, very social. The cake is a bit grimy looking...you'd have to feel brave i think. :o:D

    In my TV wanderings tonight, I've ended up on Really channel (freeview 20)... 21 Year Old Baby.

    This woman's kid is the only one in the world with her problem - and she's tiny and like a 4 year old, but she's 21. So, now she's 21, the authorities say she's an adult and want to stick her in with old people. Her mum is trying to fight her corner and say "leave her with the kids, she's a kid"

    Although I just googled it and it says it affects quite a few kids

    And it's got a name. Her mum says "They've named her syndrome after her".

    I could have made a coracle .... and packed some eggy sandwiches and ginger beer ... and taken the kittiez out on the lake... just round the edges so they didn't get too scared.

    Except that if she still had the mind of a 4-year-old then it's not standard Turner's. Most Turner's women are a lot closer to "normal" than that.
    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. (Link permitted by forum team)
    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.

    It turned out she also had epilepsy and arthritis and had had a stroke ... and all sorts.

    She was tiny and just capable of gurgling. Nothing going on between the ears at all.

    That doesn't mean it wasn't turners AND something else. THat was the thing that made my diagnosis unclear. My most obvios symptoms were not all related to the primaryproblem, but rather were symptomatic of other problems we either did not know about or hadn't been a problem til. The more major problem had put body under strss. Sometimes it really is as simple as if the weel gets broke, the axel might bend in the process, or screws and fixings else where, but the primary problem was the simple broken wheel....

    Our kitchen is only a bit over 400 square feet so chewies is 50% larger.

    Never had any sort of suggestive PM but then I haven't sent very many either...

    If you are moving anywhere near here (which I don't think is likely as I think we are more like 300 miles than 200) then you are welcome to put your car or stuff in the garage for a night.

    Apparently it is going to be winter again next week - I really envy all the NP who can spend the days lie today outside, I often feel like staying on the train to Brighton and spending the day at the beach when it is sunny rather than getting off and on to the tube and work :(
    I think....

    Notmuch goes on between mine, but i resevre the right o be the only persopn who dares say it. We cannot really know what she could think and feel, only make guesses even with that amount f damage.
