    Thank you ladies ..... You have empowered me......

    I have sent an Email explaining what has happened with these closing words

    I suspect, from my encounter such feedback would be wasted on him.

    I would appreciate if the outcome of this email is that if Brewery name could promote safe working practices outside their premies to all their contractors in 2015.

    (His white van had no branding so couldn't contact direct. )

    Well it's out of my system, and hopefully he will get the message !

    You did the right thing sending the email complaint. When Mr SA was in a wheelchair it really opened my eyes to how many inconsiderate people park on the pavements.

    Thanking Mrs H for this fab recipe posting it here so I don't loose it :j:j

    This morning we have has GF Banana pancakes for breakfast......

    3 large ripe bananas
    4 eggs
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/2 tsp vanilla extract

    beat eggs in one bowl, in another mash everything else with a fork, combine both bowls and cook on a low heat in a oiled pan with 2 tablespoons of batter.

    Well where has the last 72hrs gone

    Wednesday night I felt homesick, so decided to pack up and leave earlier than planned.

    I had a massage booked for Thursday morning, so went ahead with that had a bite to eat, then hit the road home.

    I was really pleased with myself, I left with very few items that I had not taken, usually I frequent several independent shops picking up bits and pieces to add to my wardrobe and clutter :o but I resisted going into most shops and then not going back for two items I had spotted :T:T.

    Managed to drive all the way home without stopping ..... No tea stop :T so although not a NSD it was a LSD for what it could have been.

    OH and cat babies are pleased to see me....

    Yesterday was slow and I did manage to catch up with Downton I did shed a tear.

    Last night was book club night which we were hosting. we supplied HM fish pie, beans and HM bread and butter pudding.

    Pleased to use up many supplies with a top up Ocado order :T

    There was ten of us :eek::eek: good evening had by all, today I'm shattered however, we had an early morning start because .......l
