There is a couple that we know socially. The husband is drop dead gorgeous (a girl is allowed to window shop!), has a larger than life personality and is great company. Unfortunately his wife has the...
Due to the absence of the Mad Over 50's Club (I am sure Queenie & Nungate will be released on bail before next Saturday - it was a misunderstanding with the secateurs in B&Q), I have hastily convened...
I've just been for a mooch around the garden and noticed my tomatoes have blight and have all died. There has been no blossom on my apple tree and there are no sign of any figs on the two fig trees....
At what age to people start dressing from head to foot in beige? Do they start gradually, say with one item of clothing? Do you dress in beige? I have told Mr O to take me outside and shoot me if I...
My mobile phone has been playing up for a week or so and I was advised to turn it off then back on, and take the SIM card out and then re insert it. I have done this repeatedly but to no avail. I was...
I put an item on Ebay that I had made and it was bought by a lady in N. Ireland. Since then she has been in touch and ordered more. I told her I would be away for a couple of weeks when I went in...
They can't get rid of me that easily! I am feeling as weak as a kitten but I am so glad to be home with my family. I have spent a couple of hours this afternoon just sitting in the garden, glad to...
This is my last visit to AB for at least a couple of weeks because tomorrow morning I am going into hospital for more surgery. Mr O is convinced I am leaving him by stealth, body part by body part and...
In March I could not log into a hotmail account without a code so they sent one and locked my account for weeks, until 7th April. Things have been fine since then. Today I tried to get into my hotmail...
Someone I know who is in receipt of DLA was in hospital for 2 weeks in February and she hasn't received a penny of her DLA since then. She rang the DLA office and gave them the date she came home but...
What are the worst comments you have received from officialdom? There must be some belters out there. I will start with two of mine. When my mum died I wrote to Vodaphone to cancel her contract and...
Take a book title and change it slightly to incorporate a food.
I'll start the ball rolling with Steinbeck's classic book, Of Rice and Men.
Over to you lot....
Last night my daughter was in the finals of a beauty contest, which she didn't win. However, she was awarded the title of Miss Charity and received some fab prizes for raising the most money for a...
Yesterday I visited an acquaintance who is an excellent baker and she offered me a slice of a freshly made, gorgeous looking gateau. She cut a huge slice and I said it was too much for me so she said...
I have been given a gift of £200. Things have been a bit rough for me lately and the proviso attached to the gift is that I spend it on myself on a treat. I was thinking of having my eyebrows dyed...
Has anyone had this done? If so, are you happy with the results and how much did it cost? Also, does it hurt? I over plucked mine in my youth and have been toying with having them done for sometime....
As most of you know, I live in Whitby which is a fishing town. Every other shop sells fish and most people have a friend or relative in the business and pay little or nothing for fresh fish. Me, Mr O...
I could play the recorder from the age of 5 but lessons to learn an instrument was out of the question as there were so many of us my parents couldn't afford it. I bought an accordion (very very...
