I got one of these today, it's a lot bigger than I thought it would be, it measures about 15cm across. Great freebie!

I was coming on here to say the same. Certainly better than most Thorntons O2 goodies

Happy Birthday Fourp :bdaycake:

That black cloud that was thrust over me has gone :j. I made a choice and I’m sure I’ve gone the right way

I’ve been supporting two ladies from low income families, one is on the verge of losing her home due to husbands contract change. I never usually see them here at home but as I had been bad with arthritic pain blah blah.

I saw First Lady in morning, second lady just after lunch. While we were chatting this so called friend turned up asking for contact details of an organisation I used to work for.

Anyway, I’m getting hot under the collar as she knew what I was doing that day and she shouldn’t have interrupted. While I’m looking for the info her loud voice boomed out asking if I’d go with her to view a house adding this will be her 5th buy to let :mad: :mad:

Talk about rubbing it in, poor lady I was seeing was in floods of tears, I’m trying to hold my anger in. I took so called friend to the door and whispered to her never to come here bragging when she knows there’s someone here having a tough time.

SoMy decision is to carry on with the support, if lady will have me. I don’t need tackless friends like that.

And breath ...........

Sorry you were placed in this predicament when just trying to help people in need, you are an :A . What a totally insensitive friend.


I've had a rubbish few days, really low, but nothing I'm not use to, just have to see it through until things improve.
Suppose I'm a bit upset new Compassionate Based Therapy is two thirds through and doesn't seem to be helping. It's meant to make me feel kinder to myself - not easy.

Had company round to quote for new softs/barge boards/guttering. Same as did Mum's new roof and all her softs etc. Owner James would not give me a quote Said my house was really complicated and would take at least 3 men 5 days or longer and would be really expensive.
Asked for a quote anyway, just to get an idea, but he's not sent it.
Suggested it would be better to get a firm that did windows and softs together, as I also need windows.

How can it be too complicated when he does huge roofs and extensions and conversions ?

Is your house a funny shape, or something like a conservatory somewhere? Could be they would need to use scaffolding and that company don't do so? Try a small local Independant company?
