  1. I dont think it is cold, but that might be because I am a wimp , I am lovely and warm with central heating on and log fire blazing away and not been outside for a few days. But its boring staying in roll on warmer weather.
  2. Col you make it appear a short easy few jobs to be done , just think about it and take you time we dont want to hear more stories of injuries.
  3. Just read this Beekay , yes years ago I use to collect them since then we have down sized and now how no room to display them, they have been in the loft for years. Recently I have had them down and now display 6 of the cars we use to have, its all the room we have for them to go. No one in the family wants them so it was back to the loft for them. The saving grace is that when I pop my cloggs it will be a problem for my family to sort them out and also my sheds and garages.
  4. 4 years ago i purchased a new Audi when it had 800 miles on the clock a van cut me up and put a small dint on my front wing and a mark on the headlight , the other drivers paid for a new head light, £1000, and a new wing . It took them a week to do this and I was loaned a brand new Skoda 4wheel drive SUV ,how much all this cost I hate to think. You are correct this is why insurance rates are so high the garages must enjoy this.
  5. Yes its wind and hail here too, its stopped play today I suppose its housework today. I have just taken my weeks blood pressure readings into the doctors, hope she is now happy with me and no further tablets. I am on 3 different ones a day now, I have told her that its the stress of living at home but she wont believe me. PS I called in Greggs for a bacon baguette and a coffee to take home and sat in front of the fire with them.
  6. The rain has stopped here and the sun is shining ,time to move and out into the garden , many things to do where do I start.
  7. Great work , I have managed to obtain space and permission to display some of my models, in the house , but it is my job to dust them. Models certainly revive old memories.
  8. Here is a link to old photos of Clifton for those who used to live there. Photos show Clifton Estate through the years - once the biggest council housing site in Europe - Nottinghamshire Live (nottinghampost.com)
  9. Here is an old Homes Ales sign from a closed Off Licence , how many of you had to go to one to collect drinks for your parents , no ID required in those days.
  10. My day was going well to start with I loaded my car up and went to the local recycling centre ,I started unloading my car and walking to the first skip and a young gentleman took the items off me and put them into the skip for me, thanked him and went back to my car. Here I took out a bag of tarmac which had hardened off years ago a man came up to me and took it off me, stating thats too heavy for you let me do it, again I thanked him and went home. When I arrived home I told the wife about it and that I had been helped by 2 very polite men, I then thought do I really look that old and i
  11. Can anyone help me , my fruit trees have started budding but the problem is that pigeons have been feasting on these. I have never noticed this before, is it normal as they seem to be at it all day or is it me not paying attention for years.
  12. I have had a sleeping bag and gas cooker in my shed for years, I find it a great hiding place when chores need to be done. In fact I find it very relaxing in there, I cannot wait till summer so I can spend more time in there , I did consider putting a window in there but some one would be able to see into it and find me, I feel safe in there as I lock it from the inside.
  13. I have had that situation before, knowing the Independent candidate I would have voted for them, but there was no way they would be in the majority party. So I voted for the party most aligned to my views. Without being the majority Party there is very little chance of much changing.
  14. It was Ben who was flirting Loouby Loo, not poor innocent Trogg, it was Ben, I am back sitting near my flower pot.
  15. Happy birthday Margie, sorry it’s late in the day, I have only just just picked up my iPad, so enjoy some more chocolates.
