No, not really. There's not a huge amount that anyone could do to reduce the risk short of giving me some dodgy anticlotting drugs that carry even worse risks IMHO and which I wouldn't want anyway.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

So did I. But what do you expect? This is michaels we're talking about.No, not really. There's not a huge amount that anyone could do to reduce the risk short of giving me some dodgy anticlotting drugs that carry even worse risks IMHO and which I wouldn't want anyway.
Not an easy choice. Sorry to hear that, tomterm.
Just in case any NP are interested...
The friends were pleased to get their seccateurs back, and the husband (who was the owner of the lost gardening gloves) said that the replacement ones I got for him were perfect. Which was a bit of a relief because I was judging from his wife's description of them over the phone when trying to pick a pair to be like his old ones.
I also bought a bedside lamp for DD (only £5) to stop her nicking my desk lamp.
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)

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.0 -

So looking forward to the kiwi coming home tomorrow. Non RP says enjoyed having him and going to miss him. I'm wondering what his reaction to last few days will be.0

we moved in over two years ago, and have several boxes lurking that aren't unpacked yet.
If it makes you feel any better, I still have a couple of unpacked boxes from 10 years ago, and we only unpacked another dozen last year....:)“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
