    I just ask "them" to show me where it is. Surprising how often "they" do :D

    I refer to "them" as my Pixies and they have followed me whenever I have moved house! It can be frustrating at times but the missing items always turn up, exactly where I have looked at least 10 times, and just in time for me to do whatever I was worried about missing, or being late for :-)

    The crux of it is British food and drink suppliers rely on the British based plants for the CO2 because it is expensive to import and all the factors above, with rising demand, have lead to the shortage.

    Excuse the supposed anorak but I lived in Teesside for a year and have that industry to thank for DH progressing up the career ladder. I take an interest is all.
    Not anoraking at all - it's obviously become an integral part of our current food chain, and I for one had no idea - so its important to know about. Thank you!

    I believe in a version of that, jk0. I think some things fall through holes into the spirit world and then later on fall back into our world again. But I know a lot of people can't accept that and I don't mind at all.
    I have a version of that - I wish it involved the spirit world :o but, embarrassingly, my fallback is science fiction :o so the items themselves fall through into alternate universes, and fall back into ours at some later time.

    Again, I wish I did. A friend of mine is moving to Glastonbury soon, he runs sound healing workshops there, plus Sussex and Hebden Bridge, and he'd do that.

    Thanks guys. Why can't the house fairies leave my stuff alone in the first place, though?

    I'm sure they don't need immersion heater spanners in the spirit world! :)

    Ahh, I know :)

    I am a hard nosed qualified scientist, my husband died 3 years ago. I have never ever mis-placed anything since. I have always but always been able to find even the tiniest thing, I ask and then turn my head to where it is. Once I had to drill a hole in a wall to hang a heavy mirror, there was a pile of assorted rawlpugs in a box. I said ¬name¬ which one is it and turned the box upside down, one was very obviously a bit separated right at the front. That one was the one. 3 years ago it was a tiny screw in a bed of gravel and there it was lying on top

    I am always guided, especially now and for example, if my new house is meant to be, then it will be. I go to sleep with a problem and doubts and wake up with clarity and certainty. I trust my guide, we lived together for 45 years

    Ooh, very interesting :) And with what the quantum physicists are finding out, it could also be true :)



    Must, must, must, set some time aside for work on self: an excellent mix of spiritual and scientific work is listening to hemi-sync tapes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemi-Sync. You have to listen via headphones, and I have an old portable cd player I could use. Plus some actual hemi-sync tapes. It really could be a good prep!

    I think family eating patterns were different back then, we sat at table for meals, there was no having a tray in front of the TV and we all ate at the same time, if someone was late back we all waited and ate later too.


    My husband's cousin - a primary school teacher - said the best thing we ever did for our children was insisting on eating together at a table with no television. He said our children's language skills were proof of it. Didn't stop DS turning into a grunty teenager, however :D
    I think the biggest difference between life in the 50s and life now is that peoples incomes were much less than we expect nowadays and mums usually stayed at home so all had to be purchased from one income earned by the father.

    God bless the contraceptive pill, eh...

    Hi all, been on me holibobs - boat on the river Lot, and then Disneyland, thanks for asking :p:rotfl: The boat was amazing - such a slow steady pace of life, nothing faster than 10km hour and even that was rare. Disneyland is a few days away from reality - which is no bad thing (a bit like the Glastonbury experience too, I guess).

    The CO2 shortage is a strange one - the only thing it should affect is the tonic for my gin. So I've stocked up. i can live without meat or other fizzy drinks
    I wanna be in the room where it happens
  • BUT can you live without Iceberg Lettuce? which is todays flagged up on the BBC News shortage crop, yes folks an Iceberg Lettuce will apparently NOT be coming shortly to a shop near you...

    Have purchased deliciousness from the garden centre this morning in the form of Hazer Baba Turkish Lemon Tea in a tin (how exciting) which comes as a bright yellow powder and can be taken hot or cold and as I had the forethought to put a big bottle of water into the fridge to cool down before we went I am now sipping a very nice glass of iced lemon tea, has much to recommend it in this humid heat!
