If I ever get the aforementioned corset I will ensure I write a guide about caring for it.
I have two days left until we break up, I cannot wait!
I then have six weeks of peace and quiet.
I'm looking into ways of making extra money, selling old shoes, it seems there is a fetish market for them, also a couple of more unusual items that I will not sully your ears with.
Fuddle, I'm another one who is vertically challenged, we'll wave to each other from around the elephants.

Thank you for the welcomes!

Monna I am pretty far gone down the madness route myself so think I'll fit right in Life is busy but I like it and it's busy with stuff I'm enjoying unlike the stressful yet highly paid job I had prior to redundancy hence the life change of uni. I do find that life gives a massive swerve now and again just to keep it interesting lol. I suffer from the same modesty as you so can only say that I'm honoured to have such a wise and noble mentor on the thread

Who mentioned Peter Kay? I lurve him and was lucky enough to see him with the Phoenix Nights live show at Manchester Atena a couple of years ago. I ruined my eye make up crying with laughter :T

According to my nail tech today (who was in a very good local Chinese restaurant with his partner last night) Peter Kay, "Kayleigh" from Car Share and Johnny Vegas are in our town filming a new TV series

Back from a storm that didn't deserve the name .

To the new members , don't be fearful you have entered a strange and alternative part of the forum .
Ever so 'umble - sorry I mean dear Monna is a lady to have firmly on your side whether you need kind words or a good laugh .
Hester is Hester there's no other way to describe her . She's brave , funny and just your average granny in most ways .
Enjoy the holiday Hester not long until October .
Karcher I love PK . Just wish he had given us the ending we all hoped for on Car Share .
Any who pop in I remember finding the courage to join this thread back in the day , everyone seemed to know everyone but it doesn't take long to be welcome and get to know who's who .

• You'll find kindness and empathy when needed . Good advice on things and a caring community all leaning on an old fashioned garden fence . Also a sprinkling of eccentric and off the wall posts and may meet a poster up a hill in Scotland who whisper it has a problem with GREEN things .
• She's done it again , I can't get back to normal , i do seem to have figured out how to do bullet points without trying !!!
• Logging out , you know I loves you Mar , can you put the mystic Meg aside and forgive me please . I've been sending you sun x
• Night all polly

Garlic. Bread! Garlic bread? Luv it :rotfl: Can't bake any without going through the routine of pretending to read the shopping list!
Add another frog to the box Fencers, I'm in.

By way of background, I took redundancy after 28 years of full time work and am now self-employed as a sort of home help - as a cleaner, PA, DIY-er, plant waterer, personal shopper, entertainment officer (taking clients on trips out!) and a million other little tasks that my elderly clients can no longer undertake.
I like to think of myself as a human Swiss Army Knife and, yes, I can even take stones out of horses hooves!

I try and resist self pity because I have enough money, a lovely DH and we own our *little* house and I have a car, used mainly to get me to work! The only worries are common to many folk in mid-life, namely aged and quite poorly parents. I live a long way from them, too, so visiting and helping out is not easy. I was very stressed about them 18 months ago when they had a little competition to see which one would be admitted to hosp next and how serious the illness would be. I had to make a 960 mile round trip by car, on my own, 4 times that year. Currently they list heart failure, vascular dementia (early stages atm), wet macular degeneration and myeloma (treatment is holding it back, thankfully, but it is a knife edge). The bulk of care is provided by mum even though she is very unwell. If only they were neare . I so wish I could help more.
Anyway, that's the intro over.

Please try and keep the biscuit talk to a whisper, I'm low carbing atm!!

Whoops, have rambled, sorry

Last one for me tonight . Testing if I am back to normal or still trapped in the grey!
We have finally had the proper weather and things are cooler and more comfortable .
I missed your post Floss . I know they are friends in real life but maybe although Peter is saying car share is done could there be a last christmas special . I know it's fiction but you had to feel for both characters at the end .
You can't read the words garlic bread , garlic bread without hearing the outraged and shocked Bolton lad trying to get his head around the concept .
Hope you weren't caught up in the Blackpool deluge earlier .

Well I'm up and out early tomorrow so will see you all later in the day .
Really nice to get to know the new posters but need to read with a clearer head .
Meanwhile " The rain the welcome rain " was written by Longfellow . In my usual offbeat fashion I started hearing Neil Diamond in my head singing "Longfellow Serenade " as I listened to the rain finally belting down .
Night all

Thanks for the new thread Knitwitch - I see it didn't take long to degenerate to the usual mayhem! (and long may it continue) This is always the first thread I check to see what mischief has been instigated
