    or the shorter version
    It’s not often I’m wrong but I’m right again:D

    That is an inaccurate summary though:rotfl:.

    I am almost always right and rarely ever wrong:p:rotfl:.

    I am right again!:D I'm not always right but, I maintain, I tend to be right quite a lot more often than most people. Who usually ignore me when I am right, either usually because it is inconvenient for them as they don't agree with it (it is not a matter of personal opinion - I am still right, according to the facts, and they are factually wrong - all to no avail, as nothing is ever done, people don't do what I point out would be right - instead persist in doing whatever they want to do, and ignore me, only for what they do, inevitably, to fail (even if several years down the line), just like I said it would. You see, I was and I am right:D:p!). Or... where was my other point? They ignore me usually because I put things forward in a complex way, bore them and because I waffle on. That was, however, ...zzzzzz...zzzzz....:rotfl:, because I was giving them the full and justified reasons that support why I am completely right again.

    Or I don't even bother sometimes to express my view that something should be done in another way, rather than someone's inevitable route to failure (the facts will show this to be the case in the end, even though no-one will believe me right now). I say nothing, due to being ignored so often even when I try - plus, putting things orally, never comes out the right way, I don't know what to say and I forget something - it is easy to explain things in writing - whether or not anyone takes any notice:rotfl: - of course a lot of times saying what you think is not the done thing and upsets people, so I don't say what I think because I don't want to upset people, I can't think of any tactful way of putting things, so I don't say anything at all, and then upset people by saying nothing:rotfl: - but what else could I do?!? - but, really, it is, in my view, the rest of the world's loss as some great ideas I have had have not been expressed and the world has missed out. Moral: listen to an Asperger's person. They are nearly always right and they do know. Even though people still often won't believe them.

    The people that tend to get believed, probably, are the liars. They dress things up in a convincing way - they express things that promote all the good points and ignore the bad and make people believe them because they have only mentioned the good. It therefore makes it seem better than it really is and people believe it. I hedge things in with caveats, give the honest and truthful full picture, but people won't believe it because it's not convincing because it shoots myself in the foot by pointing out the things that are not in my own interest. We're probably thought to be the liars when we are telling the truth because what we are saying is unusual and therefore people find it hard to believe it is true - when in fact it is. I'm right again:rotfl:. I think:o:o:).

    (People won't listen to it though:rotfl:.)

    Anyone know if head and shoulders is still 3 4 2 please?

    Don't think so bubbs, I have tried in 4 Stores over the last two weeks or so and they are not in any of those.
    I have already messaged 3Dogs about it.

    I have had the feeling earlier that my M list is an extremely good piece of work. So, what I want someone to do is tell me an item that is good in M from last week that I have missed!

    :rotfl:I just feel that, while I have done the best I could, M had other things somewhere else that I have not seen. I would love someone to identify my incompleteness:D.

    I have not needed to be checking in M or doing any shopping since Thursday. The farthest I have travelled is to my front door - or, more accurately, my back door and that was just to open the door to let someone else out (nice work if you can get them to do it:D) to empty the kitchen bin into the wheelie bin. We have managed to be self-sufficient and have well enough provisions to last - it has been fantastic enjoying my time here in the warm!:)

    I will have a look later today and see how things outside are. I may go out and may visit one M later in the day (I don't think I will be travelling around) or I may continue to enjoy my time here at home - the plan was always that I may not bother with Monday in M today - and then go out on Wednesday for a proper look around:).

    (If anyone is already going to M later today, in case I am not there today, just have a look and see if any 1L alcohol bottles are still £15 as that has been instore only so I can't see online - if one is, I assume all still are. If you see anything, please let me know - TIA. The fresh Flatbreads/Doughballs also may change around and there also might be some change on the frozen Quorn products. That's what I can see from my list - otherwise there doesn't seem much else (there's probably loads that will change today now:rotfl:) so it seems much of the rest is still good.)

    Goodnight for now:wave:.

    Checking in. Home safe and sound. I didn't go to Essex to pick the bags of donations and when my friend there sent me a photo, I knew I'd made the right decision. But I needed to get home so I left about 1pm. Dual carriageway or motorway nearly all the way home. A3, M25 nose to tail with areas where snow building up a bit, M1, A421, A1 to Peterborough and then A47. And I live just a mile from this major road. Took 2 hours longer than normal 3.5 hours but never felt 'in danger'. I did hear on radio of lots of problems on M11 and this would have been my route home if I'd gone to Tiptree

    I had to have a sleep when I got back as it was tiring driving so slow at times and hard on my legs so I've just caught up. Thanks for worrying about me 💚💙

    Evening

    MKS so sorry for your loss. Take care

    Rhos Hope the next job is not too far away. So much less pressure at Christmas for you. I remember someone said you should be self employed when you pulled together your DD’ s vintage wedding. Is that an option for you?

    LEJC. Your heart must be breaking. If only all our good wishes and gentle hugs were more than virtual Post when you can and I am sure it will help just to skim as I know I feel that so many on here are friends and I enjoy the stories of their lives. Their successes lift my spirits (((X)))

    Off for another cuppa

    Thanks, mrsmac. x
