... getting ready & thinking through my 3 min slot in 2 hours time telling Local Authority Chief Exec & 'partners' (I hate that word) that the Volunteers they could be using may look like old grannies but are so much more than the official 3 day course training them for this particular volunteer role (as Restorative justice facilitators).

What are you avoiding by going on Gransnet?

Quite right Bluebell. Quite disgraceful.

She means J08 not me (I hope). Some types of comments might be more expected on posts which engender strong feelings but I felt, and still feel, that the sick bucket comment was not merited on this particular thread

Oh you're welcome Gigi, please stay around and ignore those who seem to have forgotten the conventions of civilised discourse.

The problem is unique to that particular poster.

Sorry you were subject to that Gigi - this thread was pleasant and light hearted and your comment was warm and didn't deserve the response it got from JO8- it reminded me of those children who put two fingers down their throat when someone says something nice - hope this post doesn't get deleted.

I am here...gaining a little perspective on life and learning quite a lot from all the forums and some delightfully wise women!

jet lag and post trip gloom. The moving house project - loads to do. Just taken a whole lot of nice kitchen crocks out onto kitchen floor. 7 jugs for instance. Take/store in garage/ leave for tenants...? Avoiding making decisions. hmm

Not avoiding anything. This and reading is how I pass my quiet time.

Thank you for that weather forecast, Glass The rain will just wash it all off, won't it?

I have tidied my desk in between checking Gransnet, so I can still feel virtuous.
