I ought to be able to think of a suitable reply but the only ones coming to mind are ones I really couldn't post here! ;D

8.30 p.m. Monday.

Lucy: "Dad. I have team building at Beecraigs Country Park tomorrow and I need a packerd lunch."

Dad: "I'm sure there's plenty of food to make a sandwich in the fridge."

Lucy: "Can I have a meal deal from Tesco?"

Dad checks calendar as he had heard on the news it was a bank holiday. Calendar says "bank holiday (not Scotland)".

Dad: "Okay, we'll pop over to Tesco".

Sign outside Tesco Metro Dunblane "closing at 8 p.m. due to bank holiday".

We then drove to Stirling to find the supermarkets there were also closed! Which part of "NOT SCOTLAND" don't they understand!??? >:(

Today I thought to myself my age is starting to show...I bought a new petrol lawnmower and I find it hard to keep up with, it goes to fast for my liking, do you think they do lawnmowers for the elderly  ::)

I have an electric mower (Flymo Chevron - a rotary cutter with grass collector) and it certainly doesn't go too fast. I had hoped it would wear out so I could get a petrol mower, but after 23 years it is still cutting the grass! :-\

Well Anthony that's pretty good 23 years and still going strong...when and if ever it dies on you don't buy at petrol Hayter lawnmower unless you want to walk at a very fast pace.

I wonder if there is anyway of slowing it down , I said to my husband it's faster than the old one , he replied you must be imagining that, needless to say he never cuts the grass.

Just a gentle moan ...

I have just noticed that each member of this magnificent forum can ascertain exactly how many minutes they have spent on these pages since they joined way back in the mists of time ... view Home Page under your Hello message ...

... and to my chagrin I have discovered that I have spent ONE MONTH of my life on these pages!!!

It could, of course, be worse ... I could have spent it in Alcatraz!!!    ;D ;D ;D

Total time logged in: 30 days, 23 hours and 48 minutes.

May we enquire what your logged-in time is Maggi?   :D

Surely this should be in the happy thread? :)  There are many worse ways of spending your time.
