  1. Sunday's seem to be good for scooter boys meet-ups, well, it was when I worked behind the bar. Most Sundays at inn for a penny we'd have the scooter lads pop in for a drink before heading off somewhere else. Sometimes they'd stay a few hours, which always cheered the other half up if he picked me up from work. As a big fan of scooters and mods, he'd spend a fair bit of time oggling the scoots and talking to a few of the guys.
  2. Just watched it on catch up. Me and my partner had a debate of were the house was located, he said arnold somewhere cos they are a similar style to redhill... I said carlton, bonus I won - wheldon's playing field in the distance was a big give away and as an ex pupil I noticed it Then we noticed colwick as he drove past the petrol place, gotham I think the other half said as he used to take the short cut into Clifton when he was a driver on his way home. Netherfield, obviously. I remember seeing a sign but I can't remember what exactly it said and I can't believe no one mentioned filming tak
  3. When we first got our own place, we did a week's worth of shopping - a fair bit, finally got our oven installed etc. We for some reason thought it'd be quicker and easier to take a trolly full through self service. I have no idea why. But I'm pretty sure everyone else must of thought it was our idea of a joke. At least we can look back and laugh nowm
  4. Iv got in quite a habit of bringing my own bag. Iv decided to keep a couple folded up in my bag next to my purse so I remember. Took me a while to start remembering them.
  5. I used one a while back and their machine went awol and told me my pin was incorrect! Iv had the same pin for 12 years, I think I know it by now. Anyways, thanks to the machine having a hissy fit, my pin number was blocked. A woman walked past me as I'm complaining to a member of staff bout the issue and said the exact same self service machine did the exact same thing to her bank card! I couldn't use it for over a week while my bank sorted it all out for me. Apon contacting that branch + their head office, I didn't even get an apology, just a 'we will look into it'
  6. A cheap and cheerful product Iv fallen inlove with - morrisons own body wash! They do a range that smell similar to original source. I love the lemon + lime and winter warmer. They're only a quid and they last a while
  7. Please. Members dont need to fall out over the subject, it's a touchy subject which most of us all have an opinion onwhich is rightly so. But please remember what this thread was originally about.
  8. Were awaiting confirmation at a church that means alot to me and some of the family for a small stone to be placed for his memory. he never mentioned being scattered somewhere, just cremated so the worms and other bugs didnt chomp away at him. His ashes will be around the stone so that when we go to see him, he'll be there.
  9. I have just refreshed the page to find it as the desktop version! Wahey! The change theme button doesn't work for me when it loads as a mobile version. Thank you for sorting it for me Mick, really appreciate it
  10. Tonight I'm currently cooking a roast, roasting tatties, fresh parsnips, butternut squash. Roasting lamb chops with fresh mint & boiling potatoes for mash and sweet corn. Lovely autumn colours... Looks delish!
  11. There is no point in arguing over drugs. It's a lost cause already. It already costs the NHS and government funded charities so much money to help people, who half of which go strait back to square one. A lot of homeless turn to drugs such as heroin purely because they think it 'helps' with sleeping on the streets, it blocks the feeling of cold and helps you fall into a deep sleep. And some don't even have the intentions of being an adict. My dad got help and I'm proud to say he did kick the a## of his demon, but it came back unfortunately and he was back where he started. Although I'm hap
  12. Thank you for trying. Its no different though. The home page loads as normal then once I log in, it goes back to mobile format. Mick sorted it last time but I have no idea what he did
  13. Oh goodness. I wrote labtop as a typo a while ago and now my phone has saved it as the correct spelling... LAPTOP! I go on here mainly on my mobile, so obviously it comes up with the mobile layout. I log into my laptop and it loads with the same mobile layout
  14. Iv got the mobile layout problem when I log on via labtop. Cos I use my mobile mainly to visit the forum as I barely use the labtop, now whenever I log on the labtop it's loading in the exact mobile format. Iv tried to click 'change theme' but it does nothing. Can any lovely admin help change it for me?
  15. There is a burial site on the eay to ruddington... Where you don't have a stone, instead you have wildflowers and a tree planted. It's a nice natural way to be buried I think, let nature take over... Iv never been but I'm sure it's a beautiful place.
  16. Now I don't know if this is entirely true.. but in 100 years if you have no relatives etc, your grave is dug and removed to make way for someone else to be buried?
  17. I think being cremated is so unnatural, it's the only way I can explain it. Seeing my dad's ashes really upset me, how he's a complete person one day and in a tub as ashes the next. No, not normal and I can't bring myself to seeing them again. So Iv told everyone I do not want cremating. I want to be stuffed and stuck in wollaton hall or anoher museum as a fine example of human! Joking of course. I'd like to be buried in a cemetery like the one just outside of newstead village. My close friend was buried there recently and it's one of the most beautiful, peaceful places I know of. I'm even t
  18. Ok, chicken pasta is on hold till tomorrow. We're having a take away while watching a DVD later with little lady. Maybe a pizza, she'll have some with us as its a very rare treat for her. It's been a while since we had a take away, after the fair we both have abit of money left over so thought why not treat ourselves!
  19. Not long got home from the fair! Really enjoyed it and I think the minion did too. Although she didn't want to go on any of the rides, apart from the ones for adults! First stop - burger! With cheese and onions, it tasted so good too. Next stop - pea's! They went down a treat. Then followed by a wonder and a game of hook a duck where little one won a toy that she hasn't stopped playing with. She's came home with many prizes & we'v. Come back with candy floss & brandy snaps, that were currently indulging in with a cuppa. Downside is my clothes and hair now smell of the fair, so I ca
  20. Wow, thank you all to those who gave their experiences. It's so touching to read others and my heart really does go out to you all. And after reading those, it seems some of you were/are in a much harder situation than myself. I cannot bare people who relish in their grief, I understand about the facebook thing. I have only put one update recently after my loss, I try so hard not to talk about it and those who know my real feelings and emotions is my partner who's seen me sit and cry because something silly has set me off. I have come to terms with the fact that the hurt will never leave me
  21. Thinking about making a chicken and veg pasta in the slow cooker for tonights tea. A tin of chopped toms, veg oxo/stock cube, chopped courgette, chopped onion, peppers, then diced raw chicken breast/fillet. Then a couple of hours to an hour before serving add mushrooms and frozen Sweetcorn (can be tinned but I always have frozen in) and the pasta. Once the pasta is soft then serve with garlic bread & cheese ontop. That's how I do it anyways, it's yummy
  22. Cheese & onion omelet with toast and baked beans. Simple and quick yet tasty, everyone including the little one - bonus!
  23. It's been 2 months roughly since the loss of two great people in my life. And I'm still finding it agonisingly painful to deal with. I think of the good times especially with my best friend like people say to do, and it just makes me want her here all the more. It angers me that I have lost people who werent bad people yet bad people get the gift of living. It also hurts so much that I have no one to tell things to and all my questions remain unanswered. What I need help with, is how long will I feel like this? Iv never grieved before. It's very new to me. Is it normal to feel this way? I fee
