Nellie how sad. Poor Barry and poor you. 
Is there a toiletry you can no longer buy and miss?
Loss of sense of taste and smell

A bad start. I have just found my pretty little lemon yellow budgie Daisy dead on the floor! Not what you want to find first thing in the morning.
His "partner" Barry is up on top of the curtains very quiet.
I know they are not long lived creatures but its still sad. Now Barry is going to feel lonely, as he is about 4 yrs younger than Daisy and seemed to treat Daisy as a parent. Budgies get very well bonded to each other.
I caught the "budgie habit" from my daughters first one. 27 years ago. 
Drove five hours to D1's house in the heat, the temperature rose to 43c (109.4f) along the way, but wasn't too bad with the air conditioner. Arrived and straight into putting loads of washing away. D1 and SIL have found a house they want to buy so theirs has to go on the market immediately. I wonder why after having a month off over Christmas, knowing they wanted to sell their house sometime this year they didn't get on with some home repairs and start to get organised, just in case. 
Westfield car park; to get in it's like going up a spiral staircase [a very narrow one at that]. And the kerb on each side is high as well. Made me feel a bit claustrophobic .
harri after a day with the GC I have my Pjs on as soon as its dark 
I cant do evening shopping.
glass I always shop in Newcastle after 5pm and park on top of John Lewis. The shops are that much quieter and I seem to whizz round 
Went into town [don't go often these days] and went into complete meltdown when I got to my usual car park and found it had closed down . Then went to Building Society and, halfway through asking a question forgot what I was going to say so had to stop and rethink 
. I told the cashier that it was just like a maths exam I did when I was 16; everything just went blank. Couldn't work out where a £20 note had gone until it dawned on me that I'd been to Waterstones [panic because I'd borrowed it from my works float]. Went to Boots and kept forgetting things that I meant to buy [even though I had a list with me]. I am turning into a complete dithery old lady . At least had the sense to write down where I had parked in new multi storey car park that I'd never had the courage to use before [Red M Level 4 
]. Asked for my Boots card to be changed to an over 60 one and no one asked for proof of age [sob]. Oh and, yet again gave up with trying to buy something from M&S because I couldn't face the wait in the [usual] long queue. And had to pay 80 pence at the station car park because I went in to enquire about buying a train ticket that will cost me a fortune, moaning at the time to the unfortunate bloke that was standing behind me.
Morning all
off to work
Byebye!
It is b****y annoying to be patronised isn't it? It happens quite often on some threads
Ok anno.
I realised that the quotation marks were there J0. And thank you for your appreciation.
Anyone following the thread would have known where jingl's quote came from - she obviously wasn't claiming the writing as her own! Lighten up, folks...
What?!! Don't patronise me!!!
I thought most people on here would recognise simple punctuation marks.
Read the posts more carefully.
Good girl j07
Oh! Sorry anno! Have only just looked back at this.
Right peeps, you know those little commas in the air? (" ") Well, they are quotation marks. Ok? It means that the stuff in between them is a quotation. You following?
In this instance, it was annodomini who said it. I was appreciating it.
Aah!! It sounds very, very nice, Grannylin! An absolute necessity, too !
