    I am confident I'll be up to longer distance hobbling by the weekend.

    Bored of resting today, so helped with birds. They did not seem to have missed me. :)

    Fabulous news :j

    Remember what you're aiming for this weekend, though, and don't keep resting until you're there! :)

    No, you post away .... helps me to realise that it's not just me that gets annoyed by people :)

    I'd be just like you .... or are you just like me. One of those scenarios is a bit of a worry (for you).
    :)

    Yeah, but I wasn't really looking for a response. Or for advice as to asking to leave etc. It was just to let off some steam somewhere else than to their face. I shouldn't have posted.

    I'm not worried, I'm well aware of my personality flaws/ facets (fussy, moody, believes they know best... just for starters). I'm well suited to spinsterhood :)

    You should've had my injury ... storm in a teacup and just bruising/light swelling today, no pain.

    I got off light :)

    Better I have it as I was easily able to get help.

    Looks like I am healing quickly too :j:j

    Jeesh - now we all feel guilty for our responses if they have closed off a place where you had thought you might be able to vent :( Venting has got to be more healthy than not venting and I'm sure we all understood what it was.

    Now I am worried that you lot all sit there thinking 'oh no, there he goes again' each time I complain about something.....
    I think....

    There must be loads of these jokes, as English has so many loaned words from other languages. What's the German for schadenfreude, or, more abstrusely, what's the Arabic for alkali? What's the Japanese for sushi? It's an almost endless list.

    I was astonished in my first term of German lessons at school to discover that the German word for Dachshund isn't Dachshund but Dackel!

    Niikkster I agree that you should feel free to vent on here - you need to be able to do it somewhere!

    Lydia Good luck with the sorting ((HUGS))

    Lemonjelly So pleased for you about the interview :D:D:D Hope it goes brilliantly.

    Pastures New and lir - I hope the ankles are feeling better.

    I have a busy day of washing ahead (well, already doing the second load) - going away to Hamish-land on Saturday :) I don't mind the washing, but some of it will need ironing afterwards and my arm muscles don't like ironing!

    Hedge trimmer's not worth it as [a] that's the front hedge, so only 20' long and it was said that they're useless (and £65) and [c] it'd not work on the big hedge as access is the issue (unless I move the whole shed).

    I know, I photographed and linked you to the instructions as it's like mine. The problem is, I can't get near to that big hedge.
    It would work, because the front hedge would be done in under 5 mins, & you'd be lighting another cig...
    Plus the back stuff, once down to size, would be easily manageable from here on in.
    I'd encourage you to reconsider...

    That'd annoy me if you were my neighbour and I could hear your music :)
    It wouldn't be so loud as you could hear it. Plus if it was & you asked me to turn it down, I would :)

    LOL.
    Is that PN speak for I want one of those? :D I like it. Looks funky. Under £100 from the range.

    My new stove does a basic ironing job. Just fold and place stuff on it. No good in summer of course, or for things like shirts ( or man made materials :eek:) but great for sheets, and things I normally might not bother with...jeans, and so on.
