After 10 years, I finally got to see someone at my Doctors today (MillBank), Wasn't my Doctor but a Nurse Prescriber. Told me I had a chest infection, no shit Sherlock, I knew that. I was waiting on the phone for over an hour for them to answer, then had to wait for a call back. Half killed me to walk there n all.
I have antibiotics, and fingers crossed they work.

Husband went to the football today and I found myself with a few hours spare so I did some batch cooking for the freezer.

8 portions of Bolognese sauce and 5 portions of chilli. (cost just over £1 per serving)

6 portions of mushroom soup (about 30p per serving)

6 portions of cod and vegetable parcels and 4 of salmon and vegetable parcels.

Then I made a cake because it’s his birthday tomorrow.

Well yesterday..... Went to our nearby Halfords to buy a steering lock for sons new car......none there !

Till assistant checked stock levels and definitely should have been loads there... "Gone walkies" after he'd scoured their stockroom as well ...they'd all been nicked off the racks. :ohno:

Offered to order me one , but I said I'd do it at home . Computer showed I could pick one up immediately, as it assumed they were still sitting on the shelves, but I knew otherwise

Waiting for Amazon to arrive today instead with my better deal with RFID pouch thrown in as well for cheaper. 😊


Seems an even more common occurance around here lately. Witnessed 3 scumbags legging it past me across the car park from Home Bargains the previous day with their stolen haul , looked like a well practiced scattering in different directions and re-grouping further down a side road.

I feel guilty if I go into a shop and they've not got what I want and I walk out with nothing!

Opened the bedroom curtains this morning to find a group of what looked like workmen, all dressed on the bright orange garb of road workers. Ooooh what they digging up now? Goes I.
What they digging up? Nowt! It's the Stewards directing traffic for the Marathon.
If anyone on here is running, fingers crossed for you xx

Absolutely no housework or packing for my hols done as intended today.

Got new laptop and new IPhone . Always had androids before so luckily got son to drive mad teaching me before I get on my hols and can’t use it .

Most important feature to make note of , to avoid answering phone while in state of undress , or mid shower , and accidentally pressing the FaceTime button 🤣

I was roped into a quiz in the next village last night. It turned into quite a successful venture.

After an extremely poor first round, we picked up momentum and ended with a very clear victory.

I also, individually, won a bottle of wine.

I also won two highly-sought-after* tickets to the Irish Grand National on Easter Monday.

*Not highly-sought-after by me, but I will find people that I can bribe with them.

Anyway, these tickets will be in electronic form and that required the organiser of that prize to ensure that I had her phone number, to achieve the transfer correctly. I had noticed her earlier, as my automatic categorisation system had placed her directly into the 'absolute chick' section. Our conversation filled in our social arrangements in the area, as we had never met before, but then it was revealed that I've known her father for many years and have done a few jobs in her parents' house. At that point, I think I actually laughed out loud. He is, even round here, regarded as 'a bit rough' - he looks like Grizzly Adams, after he's spent a month in a forest, having survived a plane crash and lived off things he's killed with his bare hands. The thought of them ever living in the same building is worthy of a sit-com script.

She didn't exhibit any reaction to my response - I suspect it's not the first time that's happened.

To be fair, our quiz team is a bit odd. Me, someone who is unknown to about half the people there. Our team leader, an elderly bachelor farmer, who lives way off down a dead-end lane into a huge area of bog-land. And, a chap who is currently almost immobile, due to a duff hip, and has always been regarded (rightly) as 'mad'. He might be bonkers, but he knows a huge amount of 'stuff' - he had no doubt who Jennifer Aniston's first husband was, for example. It was supposed to be teams of four, but we had our usual fourth member off on international duties - however, we still slaughtered all the other teams.

My wife, daughter and I were in a village quiz last night.
We were top of the eleven teams until adding the results for the ten pieces of music played knocked us down to joint eighth place.

We’ve just scored 6/20 in our hotel quiz 🤣
I know absolutely nothing about American politicians , film stars , Greek mythology and fireworks on Sydney harbour bridge . Now if they’d have had Corrie questions might have scored a few more 🤣
