There was an episode of Father Ted where they had an 'under pants hamper'.
A laundry basket for the dirty washing.

I worry that no1 is no1. Is that really all life is about?
No 2 was meant in jest, at least in part.
As for No 1? I have a fiduciary duty to shareholders so it's what I have to do.0 -

I am getting old.
I have been making enquiries as to the interests of small nephews. I understood the not into cars, into wooden trains. Then I thought deadly 60 was a typo.
Now I know it is a cbbc prog about deadly critters and I am on the hunt for lego that is themed to it.
In my day you build a lego crocodile out of..lego.0 -

The manufacturers of lego have worked out that you can make much more money out of selling kits with instructions to make a specific thing rather than general blocks for children to use their imaginations.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.

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.

Oh, yeah. Once I've got a house I'll be penniless, so no savings to prevent anything. However, once I've got a house I'll know where I'll be and will most likely look for work. While I don't know where I'll be living it's hard to even think about roots/work.... on the other hand, it's hard to choose a house if I don't know where a job might be. I am not able to travel far for work - these last couple of years I've discovered I am unsafe driving at night really as the other lights blind me, so a job needs to be just 2-3 miles from home, not 20-30 like it used to be, or even the 8 miles I tried last year (before I moved).Doozergirl wrote: »When people mentioned Countil Tax help, I think they meant with those big bills you're looking at when you buy your new place next year

Lovely horsemeat meatballs...mmmm
There is a Swedish restaurant near us which sells meatballs. £12.50, and they tasted exactly the same as the Ikea ones as far as I could make out. Next time I'm going to drive to Croydon instead.0
