😂😂Sun_Addict said:I was once apprehended by a policeman for walking home with a traffic cone on my head singing on the way home from the pub. I was allowed to keep the traffic cone as long as I stopped singing which I thought was a fair exchange 😆
Do you remember what you were singing?!
Glad you're feeling fine btw!1 -
OMG I knew there was something missing from my life - I have never ever walked off with a traffic cone. My excuse is that I very rarely see any around here. And I'm sticking to that.

I always like to have a few items still on the bucket list. I should add that and see what my children's reaction is.warby68 said:Isn’t it compulsory to bring a traffic cone home at least once in your life ?
I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)
The sun's been out and I think I’m solar powered (Onebrokelady)

Actually I do 😆 It was Special Brew by Bad Manners. It wasn’t just me I was singing it with my friend on our walk home from the pub. Neighbours had complained about the noise hence the police being involved 😬PennysIntoPounds said:

We had 3 or 4 cones of various types at one point including one of the square police ones. I am not sure what happened to them but we havent got them now.

Morning all, happy Saturday 🥂
Not been up long, slept like a log, must’ve needed it. I still have the sniffles and feel a bit achy but no sore throat. Thankfully only a dog walk and the local shops today.I expect DS and the GKs will visit this afternoon. Not seen them for about 3 weeks.Tonight’s dinner is curry, was going to make roast cauliflower gunpowder curry but forgot to pick up a cauliflower from Mr T yesterday even though it was on my list. I might be able to get one locally but if not I’ll make a different one.Still loads of washing to get dry, thankfully all the holiday stuff is done, this is now bedding and clothes courtesy of Mr SA. The weather isn’t helping matters, could do with a sunny and windy day.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
Feeling meh and really can’t get motivated today. Still don’t feel 100%.Took the dog on the park this morning. Not done a lot else.The weather is cloudy and grey and I’m missing the Ibiza sunshine 🙁 I’m more motivated when the sun shines.Back to work tomorrow 😭 Need to make a batch of soup for work lunches. I have loads of basil in the greenhouse so probably tomato and basil.Tonight’s dinner is harissa prawn orzo as I have courgette and coriander to use up. Might put some basil on it too 😆 I adore basil and coriander and enjoy just eating the leaves.Money wise it’s finally a NSD, the first one this month.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4
