    :o:o:o

    I can sympathise with TS...
    The plumber rang to say he would be here in 10 minutes to look at the boiler...
    Had to take my stash out of the boiler cupboard.
    Admittedly it is all thrown in to those nice Royal Mail stacking boxes ;)
    So had to haul them out & whilst they were out I decided to, at long last, group everything together.
    I have 101 roll on deodorants :o:o:o
    56 bars of soap
    36 toothbrushes
    21 tubes of toothpaste
    42 BS Body Butters
    21 Sun Tan lotions
    16 tubs of Vaseline
    5 Puppies on a roll :D
    17 Chapsticks
    29 L'Occitaine small hand creams

    Numerous out of date packets of pills which I will take to Boots for disposal
    Plasters, combs, cough remedies, insect repellents, weary now just thinking about them :o

    Luckily I didn't have to touch the shampoos, conditioners, bubble baths & hair dyes :D


    And I don't shop at ASD4

    Anyone else watching Redrock at lunch times?

    Absolutely brilliant. Some continuity errors but still gripping

    (Brian's 3 plaster strips on his eye brow, on in the hospital & station, but off when he was arresting Michael Hennessy)

    Coach Trip.... all very young people :eek:

    Another disaster the other day ...all shopped out car full

    emptied carried in.....

    Then about 3 hours later when the family over the road came in she knocked on the door to tell me there were 6 bottles of Rose wine and a pack of carling behind the boot of my car

    Guess my neighbours may wonder if I am a secret alcoholic

    and that's why I keep forgetting stuff cos am fuzzled all the time

    and of course I always say that I don't drink ...dam carling and asda ...

    :):):):) :::::::::::::::::::::)


    Lol a few years ago we had new neighbours move in across the road and one day she was waiting in the queue for an ice cream . I came out and tripped over the kerb a bit and said Oooh I m drunk ( you ve all heard of the saying haven t you ). The I thought what it sounded like so I had to say I'm not really , I don't drink . I didn t want her to think I was an alcoholic :)

    Phew another busy day with mum. She had a lastminute.com appointment for a CT scan this morning. Had to be ready by 7.30a.m.:eek::eek: for transport. All went well and we were back home by 12 midday ready for lunch. After that we both fell asleep as so knackered. Just got home and managed to cut the grass as looks like rain. Would be nice to get some rain as the gardens need it.
