Pepsi........invented by false teeth manufacturers.

But while the jungle's there, it's all very academic anyway!


are you up for a challenge though.....the jungle could slowly be changed to ....veggie patch. productive and very satisfying....flowers bringing in the bees.......certainly our world would not be the same without them..
.patio with table and chairs...essential with many uses... but especially when your knackered from all that jungle exploration!!!easy for us we love the outdoors and gardening comes naturally to me...husband is the techno staff and me the labourer.

The thing is, for years I used to do loads of gardening, and was always in the garden centre buying plants and stuff, and spent hours each week out there.
Then I started getting loads of recurrent illness, not life-threatening, but enough to send me to bed for two weeks a month-ish, (won't bore you with details), so for the last two years I've done nothing. And it got depressing looking at it, so I stopped even going out there.
Then the weed membrane I'd put down finally disintegrated, and so last year and this year the jungle has sprouted. And the whole thing is such a mess that I just turn my back on it.
I've turned into another 'tomorrow' person!

I've not even opened the back door for months.

I had a swimming pool for 14 years. So, being a 'had' does that make me a 'have' or a 'have not' ? Maybe I'm in the smallest minority here!
I don't have Bosch dishwasher though. It's a John Lewis and I think it's an AEG.

Pastures, is there an 'ex-Posh' category?
Can one be a lapsed Po$h1te?
(That's Posh-ite, not Po-shi...........well you get the picture).



Oh what a stupid censor! :rotfl:

I've been holding out before I go to buy another few cans of Pepsi. I like to have a gap, to prove to myself I'm not a total addict .... just been. They'd sold out!! Hate it when that happens.... got cheesecakes instead.

CO-OP has plenty of stock.

I'm another who tries to pretend the back garden doesn't exist because it is so bad....130ft of bad.

Oooh I could be a member of that! Back in the day of a joint income, we travelled first class to the best hotel at Disneyland Paris and I jetted off with eldest to several places around europe for speedway grand prix.

Still didn't have a dishwasher or a pool though but had the latest tech gadgets.

On the topic of ex-posh.... Or MSE Posh-a-like anyway.

Just checked my Avios and hotel loyalty points.

Been travelling so much for work the last 18 months figured it might have added up by now.

Very pleasantly surprised. :eek:

Reckon by the end of this year I'll have enough for round the world flights for two people and close to a couple months worth of hotels - so long as I did it all in low-season and stayed in the cheaper parts of the world longer than the dearer parts.
