Bloody phone's autocorrect is a pain. Should have said Hetty?.

Admire the quick thinking Fred.

Not quick enough to use the edit button though lol

I've got a big bag of attachments from my vax, hoping they fit this as well, pet hair is the main concern. I haven't vacuumed for days now so I can give it a good run out tomorrow.

*Kev's top tip
Don't bother getting a new vacuum cleaner. Just leave the old broken one in the corner of the room and it will soon start collecting dust.

My favourite destination in Europe Sass.

When we were younger we used to island hop with just a back pack. Think we've been to about 65 different islands but now we keep going back to Lindos in Rhodes . We are off to Skiathos next week. Lovely island but we haven't been for 10 years or so.

Our intention was to do a bit of hiking but yesterday Mrs J sprained her ankle and can hardly walk!

I'm sure that we will still go but it might be a pure beach holiday instead with us just chilling out.

My favourite too. Have only been to about 10 islands but they are all lovely. Had my last ' girlie' holiday in Rhodes. Best. Time. Ever. ??

Morning all. I love this thread. Hoovers and innuendo with a bit of casual sexism thrown in. ? Has made me proper laugh this morning. Dad has had first dialysis session and is still in hospital. Another one scheduled for tomorrow. I'll probably go to Liverpool early next week and stay for a few days.
I'm very excited. I'm going out tonight. Out out. In Durham - to a pub with beer and vodka and pork scratchings. This will involve wearing shoes and make up. I'm meeting up with some of my friends who were old Trade Union colleagues in my previous job. A night of drinking and talking leftie bollocks with mandatory chips on the way home awaits.

Glad to be of service Anj. Enjoy the night out tonight and hope your dad feels the benefit of the dialysis.

PS, it's nearly 10 am so you'd better start sorting your make up for tonightlol

Just went to the shop for bread as I'd forgotten to order it and I bought 4 pints of milk, got home and remembered I'd ordered a 6 Pinter so now I'll have 10 pints before it goes off, thankfully I bought a big box of chocolate shreddies, what a numpty.

Glad to say I feel tons better. Legs still a bit weak as I haven't been able to walk more than 20 yards for several months. Must get out and about. Managed to drive into Maidenhead yesterday (about 10 miles) and visited some friends and did some shopping. Her indoors is now on morphine and we have MacMillan nurses booked, so still some cloudy skies about.

I know. Hair already done - got up very early for that one! The joys of flexi working means I can knock off early today as well! ??

Glad to hear you're feeling better M. Is that the heart medication taking effect?

Sorry to be so brief in the morning but at this time of year it is hectic ,I have a log splitter so don't use an axe so much ,quite fun at the last house ,when I used it all the lights in the house went dim because it drew too much power.
In this house we have to pay business rates for electric and have 3 x 65amp main fuses so it isn't a bother .
I understand electrics and I phoned them up because our bills are quite low so we obviously don't need the business rates but the theory is that if you have everything on together it must be able to cope ,so that is that.
I moved a lot of trunk pieces and chopped a bit so now my back is in bulk and it is time to have a cuppa ,later it is tinto de verano's all round .Just to upset the purists ,yes that is the two stooges @jazzy and @Barnfred 55 ,we are having bruschetta for lunch ,home made of course , the toms have been weeping for hours .
Tonight it is blue cheese and chicken pasta

Well it is Friday Anj. That's the norm isn't it? Or is that just DLR practice? lol

God I'd have to dig them out from the back of a wardrobe or somewhere. Proper photos that you had to take to Boots to be developed. And then reconvene with your holiday chums, get bevvied and laugh at the photos!
