There are times I really miss the rolling on the floor laughing emoji and today is one of those times. You've morphed from like a dying slug mode to planning a life of luxury- I wont be kissing anyones Spa Slippers so you can forget that!

It's a strange plan on a moneysaving site and I'm not sure how the RV will cope with little Miss Entitled stamping her feet and demanding the world.

I was looking at frugal ideas. Costs nothing to knit a gnome but you are going way beyond that.

At least it should stop the scary pics and random threats.

Enjoy your "New Book" there are carefully collated notes for such a book but you've managed to dream one up all by youself.

I treid and tried but I couldn't find a suitable L word monna.It would have been a really good username.

Well Ming /Mar or maybe you're planning to be someone else. As I have told monna a number of times . I was born with that Inconvenient memory. it can have disadvantages with some memories of past times.

The only time it really let me down was not remembering where I had been  since my brother was taken to hospital for the last time and one day I was at a street party which turned out be for the Queens Coronation. I didn't know anyone or recognise the house I was told was  where I was going to live.

Recently that search went all the way to Australia via a cousin my age I was always very close to. My musch older cousin who'd emigrated on one of those £10 passages the day after her wedding turned out to be the one who kept all the records of the big extended familes close and in laws and outlaws. She told me where I had been and why I wasn't with my parents for a long time and the mystery was solved.

I had to abandon thinking of L worda. I kept having to go back to reread what monna had listed to meke sure mine was different.

Such is the Ming effect. I see she has chosen the most approprite word for herself.

There have been times over many years since an elephant suddenly disappeared from an old preppers thread folowed by others not all of them Elephants I have regretted not taking screenshots as she raged around her area than hotly denied any wrongdoing.

Back then I had no idea about screenshots but it would have saved a lot of bother if I had.

I wonder if she'll appear as Lethal Ming or if she's too busy working on a plot to take over Gleneagles.  She wont find that so easy.

How about Lying Low.

Or how about SKEWBALL

She Knows Exactly Where Bodies Are Lying....and if anyone can come up with an appropriate final L I will be grateful.

I was trying to work in Heffalumps and Patio Laying but I'm tired and it has been an exacting day.

OOOOO monna, you know me so well!! That'll do! and if I play my cards right I can fund my new lifestyle. Luxury living and the high life here I come

But first I need to do something about that Polly. She has a very inconvenient memory... Suggestions please on the back of £50 notes.

Suggestions please on the back of £50 notes. Have you totally lost the plot?

Maybe revisit the wee mouse idea. I could make you a nice wee house in the garden. Plenty of wood in the garage for that. You could imagine yourself like Mole in the Wind in The Willows snuggled down waiting for the sunny days except you're a wee mouse.

You could be a mole but that may not be a good idea. Moles tunnel and there may have been times up the hill you would have preferred to tunnel rather than all the digging.

There is a flaw in your plan. only a miser or extreme hoarder would have a supply of £50 notes in the house. The only times I've handled cash since Covid restrictions is for paying taxies and I've withdrawn cash in the Coop. That's because a number of the regular drivers weren't working and there were a few odds ones I wouldn't have handed my cards to.

I hope your day has gone ok monna. Is that another friend going in to the nursimg home? I womdered for a moment if it was David . I would like to think he will remain in his home after all your hard work with his memories of the good times and his biscuits.

Erm. actually.. NO

It is David Polly, but monna says its a very good care home he's in and much better than the hospital.

monnagran

weenancy, I had considered Lying Low, but knowing that most of the bodies are beneath ming's patio, thought it was a bit obvious.
Of course, being American (if indeed you are) you may not realise the significance of 'The Body under the Patio.'  I'm sure Polly will explain it to you.
No good asking Ming, she will loftily deny all knowledge of whatever it is you are talking about.

HAHA!

What about Barefaced Liar?

Polly, it is indeed David who has been moved to a Nursing Home until the moon turns blue and a care package can be put into place.
I thought that it might be easier visiting him in the NH.  No such luck.
Whereas in the hospital I only had to do an LFT and register it the day I was going to visit, in the NH I have to turn up there every Friday morning before noon for a PCR which will last for a week.  As I only go in to see him twice a week this means an extra visit, either by bus or cadging a lift.
I also have to get a pass to prove that I've had all 3 vaccinations.
Visiting Colditz may have been simpler.
I can't visit him until next Thursday anyway because he has to be isolated for 7 days.

Oh well.  I can only do my best.
