    Look. Don't judge me I'm just bored and there's only so many times you can read an Ebola poster

    There should be a load of back issues of The People's Friend on a table somewhere that you can read. Try the WRVS

      Everyone else seems to have had the sense to bring a packed lunch.

      Turns out pink bobble hat lady with ugg boots is 88 and tired looking companion is her son. Counting my blessings.

      Any time you think your life is bad, go and sit in an A&E waiting area for a couple of hours. It won't make you feel any better but at least you will know you are not alone

        Was thinking about that, as we had some really good guys come and do our windows at the house in blighty, but there's probably stiff regulation here ( qu'elle surprise) about what you can and cannot use.

        Might look into it.

        Thing is it will still cost and I've already put enough of my warchest into this house. As we are 50/50 on everything and I had the dosh, Mr N is paying me back over the next 6 years.

        so i'm not dipping into it again

            Yes! They've called bobble hat lady. The son's look of relief makes me think I can survive this without battery power.

              Candy crush lady has finished her sandwiches and packet of frazzles. She's back to making vegetables disappear.

                Hippy pierced lass' mum has turned up. Very Felicity Kendall indeed.

                We also have a guy in a fidel Castro style cap. A guy with too much jewellery and a lad with a cap on backwards.

                Yes. I'm starting to judge people.

                  everything streamed and audio / video on demand comes under the BBC's corporate banner of iplayer.

                  But if you don't use it I will skip finding the documentation you need...

                    The apron I ordered from St john has yet to turn up, so I e-mailed them.

                    Seems the eejits sent it to my old address in the UK. How they managed that I don't know, as I ordered it using my cloggy address.

                    Have asked them to re-send, will tell the tenants they can keep the other package.
