I bet they had fun making 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.

I'd be interested to know, though, whether how the Doozers feel about the captions at the beginning and end about the builders not being themselves. Do they find it funny, or do they feel it's implying that all male builders are sexist morons?Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Thanks.
We a fire pit is the table, and have half a dozen very comfy chairs. It also has an ice bucket to swap for the fire pit. In theory we can cook on it but most of the time we just treat it as a table and use the kettle BBQ.
If the weather ever warms up we will get it back out again
This is it

Spirit, that is FAB!
We are looking for furniture for the herb garden and just cannot decide.
Conversation has ranged from building a chamomile top table and buying chairs, through sets we've seen at garden centres. That is actually a lovely set, and while not my normal taste I actually feel quite envious of it. It would also solve another problem, in providing heat........I want one!0 -
Do builders still shout things at women?
It's either socially unacceptable, or I'm past it. Nobody needs to answer me!
Lir may have a better idea of what builders really get up to; they're on best behaviour for me.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

I don't mind a bit of friendly advice, far from it in fact.
What bothers me is when people basically tell me I'm an idiot for following the advice from a genuine expert rather than their half-baked BS and that I am suffering as a direct result of following the advice of my Doctor.
It also doesn't help that Mrs Generali isn't coping at all with this. I've spent the best part pf 2 decades supporting her through severe intestinal pain caused by her massive sugar intake (probably) and various mental health issues. I get sick for a week and I'm the world's biggest AH. To be fair, she has apologised and seems to be trying to make things up to me.
I am about .5mm away from the end of my tether. I have idiot SiL over on Sunday. I fear she may well take the brunt of my pain. Oh well, too bad. It was quite funny last time.
Can you cancel weekend plans?
Seriously darling, can you do something you and mrs gen Both like?0 -

Today they promise to take pictures of beautiful wives for nice chums
.
Younger builders steal the boss's hidden chocolate bar and munch it.
My utility room looks vast without the boiler. If it rains this weekend I'll get black board paint for the back wall in there I think. I've wanted that for ages..
We have stuff going on here this weekend so I need to keep busy and out of the yard and kitchen a lot of the time.0 -

<hugs> for Gen
That's gorgeous! You'll look absolutely lovely.
For Gen and for Doozer
^^^^^^ This
I would also suggest cancelling SiL. If your wife has to see her, suggest they meet somewhere. At times you just need to say "I am not up to visitors/specific visitor" . Conserving emotional energy is good.0 -
I loved that. I am going to use it at work.0 -
I looked awful, couldn't concentrate and my dressing started falling off. .
Stupidly, I read this the first time (and second time!) as referring to some kind of wardrobe malfunction.
Being a complete hypochondriac, and no doubt influenced by your issues with Leon, I went to see my GP as I have had a swollen gland in my jaw for the last few weeks, expecting him to tell me it's nothing and not to waste his time. Only, he didn't, and I've got an appointment at UCH on 7 April. He thinks it's probably nothing, but ....No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

Yep nows the time not to have any unwanted hassle going on. I'm sorry to hear Mrs Gen isn't coping to well with your illness.
Been working down South this week. Managed to bu88er up my ankle as well tripping over a duvet in my haste to get out when the hotel fire alarm went off. Had a meeting with an immaculately clad, suave Italian gentleman, with one foot shod in a black patent court shoe and the other in a grey slipper with pink sparkly bits, that had had to be cut wider to get on my foot.
Dashing off again, have a good weekend.
It's probably nothing GDB.....but you will worry anyway. I'm not a fan of this growing older business.0
