Susie, I totally understand....it's Saturday night and here we are on the internerd...just like last Saturday, and the Saturday before and the Saturday before that.... sometimes it'd be just fabulous to have a friend to whine to, to get a bit tipsy with, to be sit and giggle with, to talk about nothing important with, who will remember to forget what we said, and who understands but isn't as involved as family are... Wish I knew the answer to this conundrum we are in. I suspect that there are many like you and me but somehow we can't find each other.

Chin up chicken, you aren't doing too badly in life, you do have a lot to be happy about even if it's not perfect. Maybe heads together to figure out how to solve this common problem? Anybody else agree?

Snowy, you are not silly, you are young at heart;) And it's good that you know the proper titles of various vegetables:rotfl: ( and yes I know they're fruits, but we use them as veg ) I think your method of dealing with a desk is very sensible:cool:

Have done nothing much all day, due to a very late night babysitting. Didn't get to bed until 3 am:eek: So slept very late:o

It's a bit late, but Happy Birthday thriftlady, hope you've had a great day:D :bdaycake: Of course, you'll have made your own, much better cake:rotfl:

Night all,

Hello Churchie, ya dirty stop out!!

The fact that aubergine and peppers are fruit rather than veg went completely over my head! Ooo I wish I was as smart as you Churchie! At wo*k we have to do a "produce recognition" test every now and again. You'd be gobsmacked if you saw the results - even ladies older than me (and for some reason I think that older than me = knows more and is more old style) don't know what a kiwi fruit is, or what a sharon fruit is... !!!! knows what they are charging customers!!

Well speak for yourself. I'm not being a NIgel on a saturday night.

It's sunday morning here.

I'm come upstairs for a break. Iv'e cut up the tomatoes, now for the onions and apple. It must make about 100 bottles. :rolleyes:
Churchmouse Just because Mouse is destined for the table, no need to turn nasty.
Kyle I can sympathise. I was like that when I had my three as littlies and living in an isolated place. It does get better as they get older & you do have the internet which is a godsend. I will definately come and visit you again.

Churchmouse

Yeah, dirty stop-out:rotfl: Listening out for DGSs:rotfl: Oooh I know how to live the high life:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Seriously, on the checkout it never ceases to surprise me, the number of women of my advanced years, that don't know the fruit and veg.:rolleyes: They say * what IS this?* I'm always very nice, but sometimes I do feel like making a comment:rolleyes:

Aussie, how many more times? Mouse will die of old age many many years from now. You ask PenPen:cool: You are very cruel to suggest she'd make a fine lunch:p :rotfl:

I know what you mean. SOME people don't even know what a zucchinni is. They call them courgettes. Don't even start on Eggplant, rockmelon & spinach. :mad:

Churchmouse

What is Rockmelon?

Courgettes and aubergines are great, and spinach is good too:D

Oh go on! Make a comment!! One of the ladies tried to cheat the test by asking me what particular products were...I told her a bunch of grapes was a banana, and that a melon was brocolli...you can tell how much sympathy I've got:rotfl:It's not exactly difficult to go around to the fruit/veg section and have a look! Management aren't much better either, they put an in-store made poster on the wall and got things wrong (mixed up their plums and their nectarines, the twits).

Zuccini? That's what the yanks call a courgette. Bless the yanks! They call spring onions scallions - so they get some things right after all:rotfl::rotfl:

Rockmelon? What's a rockmelon? In English please....Aussie....

I'm with you Kyle - I had to do a moonlight flit some years ago to get out of an absive marriage and lost friends going way back as I had to seriously cut all ties. We then spent a bit of a while moving around trying to keep one step ahead of ex - poor dd now 22 went to 7 primary schools - so I never really stayed anywhere long enough to make friends. I'm lucky in that the people I work with are mostly great and we do go out together a fair bit but apart from that I have one v good friend (met her in a Refuge over 10 years ago) and the mum of dd11's freind and that's about it. I lost a few so called friends when me and the father of my youngest split up three years ago - oh the tales he told them! I wish there was some sort of agency where women wanting to meet women meant just that It doesn't help that my family are mostly overseas

For myself I am thinking of doing some voluntary work or doing a course at the college just to meet new people - goodness how maudlin - anything left in that bottle snowyowl
