Strange subject I know! Yesterday I went into town to be measured, please don't laugh as I was either getting lost or falling out of my bras, & I was amazed how different my size was to what I've been wearing. Another thing I didn't know was that a n...

Dress Down Days in the City - good idea to see "the Guvnor" in T-shirt and trainers?

We were bought out by an American set-up and, of course, some bright spark thought what a good idea it would be if everybody "Dressed Down" in the office on a Friday so as not to create a "Them and us" attitude between master and serf.. Personally I ...

TWO watchers on 38 items - wow! eBay right for a takeover?

Daughter pestering me for a slice of melon. Came in just as I was about to hand it to her. Suddenly it had a mind of it's own and slid off the plate. I'm so proud, because I didn't swear. All I said were two words: "Go away." before starting again. S...

"Just a couple of security questions, here..."

Car crash victim "Sees the light" Well, almost Lol!

I laughed when many years ago I read a letter in the paper from somebody who'd been involved in a serious car smash. In and out of bouts of consciousness, as he was being wheeled out of surgery, he swore bling he'd distinctly remembered the porters s...

Having a Shower Installed

After a 3 month wait, I am finally getting my shower. Contractors are coming tomorrow to remove the bath, so just removed all my personal gubbins. Strange how you never know just how much you have until you come to move it. One small cupboard, one sm...
