Morning everyone.

One step nearer today to finding out what is going to happen with hubby, as we have to go and see a "top brass blokey" today :eek:

Can't say much on here but please keep your fingers crossed for us today.

Did anyone see the blind man getting zapped on the news :eek::eek: thats what I call having a bad day !!! terrible thing to happen and I bet it has affected him as it would me I would be scared to ever go out on my own. It must be a blind persons worst nightmare.


Anyway must get on

PiC x

I saw that :eek: what a disgrace. How can the police mistake a white stick for a samurai sword :mad:, the officers involved should have their eyes tested :mad: The police should not be allowed to carry these weapons, they are too quick to use them.
I read last year or the beginning of this that they had tasered and 83 year old woman as well, what if the poor man had a bad heart and had died. An apology is not good enough. I would sue them for as much as I could .

Gotcha!! And it is a Little Nipper, GQ ... a quick end. I baited the trap with a nugget of chocolate spread, so hopefully the mouse died happy. Will repeat ad infinitum, I think, as I'm not sharing my garlic! And thanks for reminding me folks that squirrels can chew through wiring - will nudge the builders who are coming to squirrel-proof the roof, etc., as I really would like to CHOOSE who we share our home with.
I have just had a quick look at my Armageddon/Zombie Invasion stash, and it is growing quite big; I've been adding to it regularly for the past few months as and when I find a bargain, buying what we eat, etc. Will have to give some serious thought to storage (mostly tinned, but some dry goods too). Also giving serious thought to buying a dehydrator. A serious week....
Love and hugs to all who need them, and thanks as ever for your advice/help/support/humour. xx

I havn't the heart to kill them, we use a humane trap and let them go,but it is probably the same little bu##er coming back.As it is only in the garage we don't mind.i have a dehydrator, not an expensive one [i wish] and it really is great, you won't regret getting one. Take care all you poorly people, sending you all big hugs.

I can't agree more! Thankfully they aren't armed too!

Christmas - Us, DD, my mum and DD boyfriend. In the morning we visit my inlaws.

As a child it was spent with mum, grandparents, uncle, aunt, aunts dad, cousins and sometimes aunts younger brothers (home from the army). It was chaos! I used to love being able to go upstairs to my room and be on my own.

At the moment everything is becoming a little more SHTF than I would like. If I am MIA it's nothing personal I shall just be hiding under the quilt! DD and I are still coughing for England. Mr F going still to the hospital daily for tests blood tests (INR) for clotting and Warfarin. FIL was expected to have a good colonoscopy today, not as clear as we'd hoped it would be, my mum is back for her cancer check up next week and my MIL is still suffering the side effects of broken hip/surgery/MRSA infection/further surgery.

Sorry pathetic whinge over!

PIC - I hope you and your OH have good luck. x
Keeping you firmly in my thoughts.

Hope everyone else is doing OK.

Oh and is there a great dearth of bog standard household candles? Or am I just being a daft mare and not spotting them anywhere?

Alison, you are right, very few plain and simple candles about, managed to get 1 pack from Mr T at a reasonable price but very few anywhere else.

I get a pack of 6 white household candles from our local shop (happy shopper brand) - could be worth checking your local Open All Hours!
