    And you found that out at 11.16pm.... so are going out now??

    My parcel's not come.... I need it before I can drive SW ... so I hope it arrives tomorrow......

    No, I found out earlier, but it really didn't seem pressing news when I refreshed to say that.

    Edit: its this one.

    I'm still fathoming out how to use this Forum, but I like the idea of Nice People. In my world I like things to be sunny and cheerful.

    A lovely man that I know always says if you can't feel wood round you when you waken up in a morning (a coffin), you know it's going to be a good day.

    Very true! :D

    Hello BlueSky1, welcome to the Nice People thread.

    I live in Australia but many of the people that post here are from Herts. Several are Jewish, I'm not.

    If you like nice people you'll find plenty here so pull up a chair and make yourself a cuppa/glass of wine/soy moccacino and we can all have a nice chat.

    Though whatever the answer is re the mushrooms, you are still welcome;)

    lir, I'd have run with the somewhere to go, something to do at 11.16 at night; just said it involved high heels and a big smile and leave the rest to our imagination.:o

    Thank you for all your kind words.

    I went to bed. :o. After not sleeping at all for two nights I slept solidly last night. I even over slept in too. Which means I lost the early bathroom slot and have to wait for resident parent to finish. There is a set routine, longer than anyone less I have ever lived with, but it means I know how much time I have:rotfl:


    Parent is off today for Christmas. DH comes home.

    It's more Herts-on-Ocean. Calling the Pacific Ocean (from which the moon might have been carved by a mighty blow from a meteorite) a sea is like calling London a town: it's rather more than that.

    You've really been away too long. Understatement WAS the joke. Sigh. That pioneer thing of implanting old names of modest places on grand new vistas?

    But we do call London a town! So Herts-on-Sea makes sense, really (-:
