Memories:
Taking empty Tizer bottles back to the corner shop to get some money back. Cant remember how much it was. I was only 6 :rotfl:
Elf n safety would have a field day with that these days. But come to think of it, was dangerous letting a 6 year old carry glass bottles to the shop

That reminded me, when I was about 10 I used to get sent to the off licence to get booze for my parents :eek:
That said, it was a small village where everyone knew everyone, so they knew who I was buying it for, but these days they would be prosecuted right down the road :eek:What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -

Good morning Elite. Happy Birthday Neosi.
Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so.

I have one of the poppy ones...It's not really suitable for a bird feeder as when it rains it fills up with water. unless you have it in shelter somewhere.....So....I just use it for a water hole for them...:D[STRIKE]68 [STRIKE]Mouses[/STRIKE] [/STRIKE]
OMG, I'm rich! Silver in the hair, Gold in the teeff, Crystals in the Kidney, Sugar in the blood, Lead in the butt, Iron in the arteries and an inexhaustible supply of natural gas! I never thought I would accumulate such wealth!! :rotfl::rotfl:0
