nonnaB 4,895 Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 I can't remember who it was that was discussing about Mc Vities digestives but think it might have been OZ. Did some shopping yesterday and spotted these two pkts of McV. Photo is of the whole meal one. In my opinion they are awful but love the normal ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AfferGorritt 868 Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 My daughter-in-law brought a couple of 2 litre bottles round first thing. It’s nearly gone! Just shows how much we unthinkingly use. Excitement’s worn off now. I want to flush the toilet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Just evicted yet another large bee from the house. I've lost count of how many I've chucked out, gently of course, this year alone! I told him, "Bee sensible and stay outside. Now, buzz off!" and he did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,895 Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 We have a well but have never used it for drinking although a couple who live nearby said that when they were kids they often use to ask the former owner if they could have a drink from the well. Apparently it was good. We have it connected up to a tap and hose to water the plants. We have used the irrigation point that we put in to water the grass. ( which we pulled up and now have paving blocks) but its still useful for hosing the courtyard down after a windy day and cleaning after the dogs wee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,729 Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Kids in the UK don't have to choose between suppositories and tablets for basic pain/fever relief. The various Calpol products provide Paracetamol or Ibuprofen etc.. in 'kiddie friendly' form, such as liquid syrups, 'fastmelts' etc. Surely these are also sold on the Continent?

Brew 5,416 Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 A friend of mine bought farmhouse near Sth Wingfield and took great pride in his well claiming the water to be excellent... until he realised it was only fifty metres from a graveyard, he sort of went off it then..

MargieH 7,600 Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 After I had a fairly big op 25 years ago, I wondered why I wasn’t getting any discomfort straight afterwards and I was told I’d been given pain relief PR straight after coming out of theatre.

DJ360 6,729 Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 Jim.. I'm not taking any pain relief for my knee. It hurts 24/7 and Paracetamol has no impact. However.. I'm not taking Codeine..or even worse something like Tramadol.. as both are addictive and damaging in other ways and neither would cure the condition.. I had an X-Ray yesterday and I have yet another phone call consult booked for the 18th of May. Hopefully we can make progress from there. However.. I've had (mercifully infrequent) bouts of piles and then a pain killer such as Cinchocaine along with an anti inflammatory.. applied directly to the site of the pain can be a blessed relief.

Oztalgian 3,292 Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 DJ360, a mate of mine had the same problems in the nether regions as you have. After much pain and discomfort and long discussions with his medical advisors he decided to have an ar$e transplant. It rejected him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benjamin1945 16,158 Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Had a nice experience this morning......was going to Bulwell just to get out...but the traffic was solid and hardly moving,,so went back into Kirkby......apart from the wetherspoons (which is closed) not used any other Pub.....but saw lots of people having a Beer outside the 'Nags Head'' so decided to have a Coffee in there. (well, outside) told me to go and sit down and they'd bring it out to me.......which they duly did.. Thankyou..how much duck ? Thats ok..its on us...was the reply......... Thought how nice...what a friendly place Kirkby is....... Everyone else sat outside knew each other and were obviously locals........but most engaged me in conversation........made my day......... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,143 Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Good for you Ben. Hope you enjoyed your coffee. The last time I went to Kirkby was in 1986, when I went to obtain a cabbies licence from the ounces office. Still got it, I wonder if could return it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,507 Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Today I went into town to join the ‘owt fer nowt’ rabble in Debenhams closing down sale. I’d not even considered going in but a friend rang to tell me she’d just been in the shop and it was worth a trip. Even though I’ve never been very keen on Debenhams it sounded interesting. I made some brilliant buys ....... 4 100% cashmere sweaters, usual price £170 each and I nabbed them for £70 TOTAL. 2 super-king sheets, reduced from £130 each to £39 each. Then I bought some Christmas tins of biccies for £3 each, reduced from £14. Nice useful tins too, when we’ve eaten the biscuits! What’s not to like, except that those poor shop assistants are all out of work on Monday. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,729 Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Thrilling day here today. Got up late..had a bit of lunch..watched the news..then a bit of snooker. Summoned up the energy for a short walk.. 2000 steps..every one of them painful and a throbbing leg was my reward. Cut my hair..took a shower..had a ready meal curry and a Magnum fer me dinnoh. Watched Gardener's World. Taxed car online. Mrs Col is house/cat sitting until Monday..so at least I can play music and watch whatever I want on telly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
