Pain in the a$$ the lot of them.

My car insurance is up in March so I went to those annoying web sites to get a quote. Within seconds of me getting the list of quotes the phone and the mobile phone have started to ring. Those companies are like vultures. grrrrrrrr

I just make up a number and my phone never rings

That must be an age thing-so do I

For weeks I've been trying to buy a new pair of slippers. The problem is I have a quite narrow foot (would that the rest of me was so narrow!!) and slipper manufacturers appear only to make slippers for people who's feet are as wide as barges. So my shoe size, 8.5, means I have to either buy a pair of size 9s that I could turn round in, or a pair of size 8s, and I would have to cut a hole in them for my toe. It is very FRUSTRATING.

There, glad that that's off my chest-or foot!!

I'm too honest 

David I thinks Clarks do narrow fitting shoes. Have you tried Amazon?

Glad I'm not the only 'oddball' Tony, it surely must be an age thing. Anti social networking I think we could call it.

Honesty doesn't always pay

Clarks do narrow fitting shoes but not narrow slippers. The thing about Amazon is all the sending back and I'm sure there would be lots of it.

Slippers? Never had a pair.

Sending back with Amazon is so easy. They pay the postage and return the item in the same box

You're not old enough

I go barefoot in the house a lot of the time.

I used to know a couple who were bare foot all year everywhere rain hail and shine. What was interesting was their big toes had moved inwards

Are you a foot fetishist by any chance Mark?

Funny you should have that thought... my thought was how can he afford to heat the house enough to be able to walk around barefoot... all a matter of perspective, I suppose!

This is not a moan because I have just given up  and settled down to enjoying my plants so just factual.

My wife who has been my domestic goddess for almost 42 years and during that time kept the home and me clean and neatly presented works three days a week in a charity shop.

They have just had a Health and Safety inspection by a jobsworth from the Council. She is now not allowed to use the vacuum cleaner until she has had training and the appropriate training log is completed.

This only applies at the shop because I have given her the okay to continue at home but have told her I will be looking for higher standards when she has had her training.
