Was due to go into QMC for opp on my capple tunnel (wrist) had a call 6 00 night before, now have to have it done at the City hospital. I| could not praise the staff enough. Very organized, gave you a good check over, did a covi test and more. After opp was taken back to my room, then the nurse came over ask if i would like a cup of tea and a sandwhich. Nothing was to much trouble for them.. Boris take note and give the NHS staff a nice big rise. They sre worth every £ they get.

Today, for no other reason than boredom, my dearly beloved and I decided that a recipe on the BBC, granola with mixed fruit compote, looked A. easy B. inexpensive and C. most importantly, delicious. Real cooks may want to stop reading here. After printing the recipe set off the buy ingredients, forgot the list and only bought half of them but managed to came home with a new set of cutlery. Back for the rest of the ingredients and it's turning out to be an expensive recipe, her car need fuel and (just while we're out we may as well get) a new baking tray, and a grater, and a whisk, an

Thanks Jill , the ecograph went well ( for the way the dog behaved as we thought she would panic but she didnt and it was easy to turn her) .

Phew! For a while there, I thought Ben's anecdotal totty supply had run out! On ye of little faith! I should know better.

Ben's been very quiet. Has he run out of women? Hallelujah!! Ben's encountered a female shortage!

Having driven bangers in my teens & up on till my 40s, I think once you shell out on a new car you can never go back to a jalopy, treat yourself, lives far to short for MOTs & new tyres, you’ll even feel & look better sat behind a decent reg number plate. Been driving a brand new Ford transit courier van It’s a joy to be @ work.

Dj360 Please don't take it serious about buying a car it was only a comment.

Ben, I am asking for a friend, can please continue with your stories as he is hoping to gather more information where he went wrong and try new methods.

But we're riveted, Ben! Besides, CT needs to read it to work out where he went wrong with the ladies! Perhaps it's still not too late, although not sure Mrs CT will approve!

I have just found this - thanks again David. https://www.inspirepicturearchive.org.uk/image/101/Upper_Standard_Council_School_Carlton_c_1925

Welcome Brendon , My mum lived on Park Rd , just to the east of that school . I have her report card for 1926 (when she would have been 13) and it gives the name of her school as . "CARLTON UPPER STANDARD COUNCIL SCHOOL" I assume it was that school . According to someone on the Gedling Local History Facebook page it later became "Carlton Central County Primary School" . Later that was demolished and turned into Carlton Precinct.

In case you are wondering what i did with the 8 Pennies i still had....i can tell you now ''I JUST FRITTERED IT AWAY ''.....lol...
