You weren't an innocent vase back then in fact you haven't really been an innocent wee vase much since becoming a vase or during other strange changes.

Like Meatloaf I remember everything and so does the internet . I can't show you bookmarks but I can quote umpteen events  such as Heffelump accidentally wandering into your frsszer to cool down and finding they couldn't get out when the door "accidentally" closed.

You were Mardatha back then, no wonder someone mistook your username and would call you Madarthur. Pretty fitting considering.

So much for talking behind your back! I really am beginning to think you are psychic. You are supposed to be doing something else today but here you are.

I need a strong brew!

Well!     Helllooo Ming.

As much as Polly's memory is inconvenient, (to me at least) yours is very convenient.  To you.  I've never heard such a string of lies  feeble excuses.

I have had the delightful company of two strapping young men today.
I know.  It's me magnetic personality.
They have been laying the base of my brand new garden shed.  Lots of bending, stretching and shovelling.  One of them wears Calvin Klein pants.
Go on................ask me how I know.
They had trouble finding somewhere to fill their bucket, for the making of cement.  It was too big for the kitchen sink.  There is an outside tap, but I wasn't sure where the valve was and that involved two husky men going through the cupboard under the sink and fighting their way through the detritus that comprises my cleaning products.
Anyway it was a futile exercise, because having located the valve they didn't have the right tool to turn it on.  Did I have one in my toolbox?
Oh yes.  I have a toolbox.  I got it out for them.
It contained a small screwdriver, a couple of lighbulbs, some parcel tape, a crochet hook, a  pack of cupcake cases, an electricity bill, some cable with a foreign looking plug, a gadget...I swear I've never seen before, I wonder what it is.....a bread knife in two pieces, (a victim of the dishwasher) a bag of orphaned jigsaw pieces and a partrige in a pear tree.
Nothing to turn on the outside tap with.

So they were forced to use the shower head.
Was I glad that the shower room was sparkling?  It made up for the undersink cupboard..

And that's enough excitement for one day.

I, at least, do not entice young men in designer boxers into my kitchen!

Were those two young men in addition to the hot waiter in your wardrobe monna?The neighbours will be talking like Cissie and Ada over the garden fence/ wall whichever applies.

I do hope they left  your shower room in sparkling condition.

I know you don't Mar but lord help a passing heffalump or others all the way to fluffy wee ducklings.

Indeed they are Polly.

My hot waiter, though very toothsome and useful at the frequent chic parties that I throw, is perfectly useless at the concrete mixer.
One has to gather talent where one can.

I just need reading glasses but reading your post earlier still half awake I thought you'd written fireguard chic parties! I sat trying to picture you, glass in hand leaning on a shiny nursery fireguard chatting to your guests "Oh Dahling Fireguards are the latest trend and one must stay up to date when one is entertaining"

I can't decide if I need an eye test or I've finally lost the plot.

I'm so glad you have the base in for your new shed . I love my shed, very useful. If you got bored you could adopt the trenstarted by men in sheds and entertain in your lovely new shed. No nursery fireguards or unreliable loo seats required . You could aquire a portaloo. Neighbours ccould be rather confused however they would soon realise they live near Monna the trend setter.

I can see most of the things in your tool box are useful even the crochet hook. When my hair was much longer I had a habit of securing it with a crochet hook or sometimes two. The times I got in to the staffroom my fellow teachers would kindly reminf=d me there were one or two crochet hooks in my hair and I'd whip them out and look for an elastic band or something to tie it back.

I was trying to think of a reason vupcake cases were in a toolbox. Too late now but you could have utilised the leftover cement and have pretty painted ornamental cup cakes to add to the garden decor around your shed.

Your hot water is for entertainment purposes only. He can't be expecterd to get his hands dirty he would soon be less toothsome and less of an asset . You're possibly the only person in the area with a hot waiter in her wardrobe.

I think we need to avoid hot waiters when Burtha gets married. I can't remember who is looking after the others who managed not to end up in your wardrobe but not a good idea to have hot waiters in wardrobes across the UK. Mar would like a slave but doesn't have the space to keep one in, perhaps a tent in the garden but that isn't good long term. Poor guy would freeze in a Scottish winter or msy find himself " Accidentally shut in her freezer"

People have Beware of the Dog signs, It should be Beware of the Freezer in her case.

First  ever manifestation of a Possessed Freezer in Scotland.  So unfortunate that I had to own it. I should get compensation!

You may like to look up the meaning of Mendacity Mar.

I'm behaving myself watching Carole King on BBC2 . Been singing along  behaving myself unlike some. Will be followed by a concert then another concert James Taylor another favourite.

I cannot watch either must stay true to watching Casualty. Not as good as it was . I've watched since the first episode and it still irritates me I missed one episode. No catchup back then.

I was in the delivery room of our local maternity hospital and there wasn't a tv.

I wish they would move Michael McIntyre to the Casualty slot and show Casualty first. I have tried but I really can't stand the man. Just flicked over to see if it's time for Casualty and the credits are rolling so he's gone.

Call me a cynic but I think it is a plot by the BBC to cancel Casualty now that Holby is on its last few episodes 😖
