Good Morning Everyone,
Its daylight here in Brackley and its been raining.
I have prepared a chicken and butter bean casserole in my small slow cooker for today and tomorrow.
Includes such things as tomato puree and garlic granules..
Today a quiet day in watch cycling around lunchtime from France on Tv.
As to the Garlic noticed on Breakfast Tv yesterday it was mentioned as a precaution to take as to current crisis.

Thank you Hannahs for your post. I’m just ashamed to think you felt the need. xx

@12Michael eh up Mick, how are you? Loads of folk whinging on here, as usual, it's nice to hear someone `normal` for a change. Sorry folks I don't mean to be cruel but come on with all the worlds problems I think someone's son living in a different country and a shortage of bog roll is pretty trivial.
As you probs realise from my handle/username I am BLIND and so, therefore, I must use assistive technology in order to use the computer, Imagine what it's like for me to misplace my pills (which I do regularly)
BOG ROLL? Get a life I have 24 rolls delivered every 4 weeks.
Yes, I'm Blind but I will NEVER allow my disabilities to overcome my abilities I just wish some folk would get their heads out of their backsides,
Folk winge about things being in short supply how about if folk don't stop this constant moaning then peoples caring attitudes are gonna dwindle. If any of you have problems with your eyes don't give up and moan about what you can't do focus on what you CAN do. If any of you need any help/advice on `Talking Assistive Technology` either myself or someone from our VIP club, oops I should explain VIP = Visually Impaired People. will be more than happy to help.
I can understand folk being bored when I first lost my sight back in 1982 due to an incident in the Falklands I sat in a hospital in Birmingham thinking How I would make my blindness pay for me, sure I could have gone down the benefit route but after a lot of thought I decided to make MY disability pay for me so I contacted thousands of companies worldwide, it seems that manufacturers not only want able-bodied people to test and review their products, I have had thousands of products over the years including a `Hot Tub`, 2 washing machines, 2 `Talking Microwave Ovens` 38 (yes 38 Cordless Vacuum Cleaners)
Dozens of airline travel 5 FREE holiday complex stays in Benidorm, Tenerife and Lanzarote what I'm saying folks is stop moaning try help, someone, instead
Sorry about going on but let's stop this constant woe is me attitude, get on with life!
Once again thanks Mick

Bravo Hannah?

Good morning everyone. Bad morning here, only just got my internet connection back, so I'm grateful for being an hour ahead of you - which still allows me to say good morning! It was worth waiting for, though. Seems the sun is making an appearance and making some difference to Sunday morning. I loved the comment by Auntieflo - shooing her poor DH out of bed, just so she could get on and launder the sheets smile and everyone's concern for Marydoll and her DH ...and DC's! I laughed out loud Marydoll. I would have been way ahead of you in the catastrophe scenario. Axe-throwing? Sounds like an extreme sport to me for a Stag do. Mix that with the word "brewery" and "trains home" - no wonder you were on edge. But they all had fun and we know why they all go off radar, so no harm done and a very amusing story. In future, remember you'll only have to mention axe-throwing in a conversation to immediately get everyone's attention.! Have a truly good day if you can, everyone. Goodbye Hannah (and your brother) - pay a lasting tribute to your Mum and Dad by vowing to live your best life, always. Good luck. flowers

Hannah?Thank you for your post,like Urmston I too feel ashamed that you had to post.x

Hello again all. Just had to pop back in after reading Bluesapphire's post about the RN Band. Many years ago we lived In a small village near a naval base. One year the RN Band offered to play at our village Barn Dance which was held in the local farmer's Big Barn. Their stage was a couple of flat bed tractor trailers, and their sound second to none. A fabulous evening and the happiest of memories. Thank you!

Hannah - good luck with the research project you were involved with - hope it’s successful. We are all thinking about you here.

Curlywhirly Sun 08-Mar-20 12:21:15

Hannah, so glad you came back to us, it is very kind of you at such a terrible time. I have been so worried and haven't stopped thinking about you and your brother. I was very bewildered and upset with all that went on. I hoped against hope that nothing had happened, it was such a tragic loss. I loved your Mum's posts and we are all missing them, she had such a lovely life with her family and animals. What you are going through is unimaginable; you sound a lovely close family and hopefully this will help you all in the coming weeks and months. Again, my heartfelt thanks for your thoughfulness, it means more than you will ever know. Take care thanks

Greenfinch Sun 08-Mar-20 12:28:27

Well done Hannah for responding so calmly and considerately. Best wishes for the future.

BlueBelle Sun 08-Mar-20 12:35:09

Thank you Hannah for coming back after that awful tragedy what a shame everything got tainted There is nothing that can ever make up for losing your Mum and Dad in such a way
I hope your family can help each other and draw together in honour of your parents
I didn’t ever see your mums posts but those that did held her in high esteem
I wish you peace

EllanVannin Sun 08-Mar-20 13:33:22

Gustheguidedog, what a damned awful post !

GrannyGravy13 Sun 08-Mar-20 14:12:46

Hannah and family flowers

Auntieflo Sun 08-Mar-20 14:55:42

Hannah, thank you for coming back, especially after the nastiness that occurred.
You sound a loving couple of young people, no doubt due to the influence of your parents.
Wishing you and your brother, and any other family members a peaceful Sunday, and all the best for the future.

Fran3669 Sun 08-Mar-20 22:13:13

Hannahs or Hannah2? Similar usernames but are they the same person?

Am I missing something?

All I do know is that a lovely person, Mommawolf, is no longer posting and I miss her.

I’ve never posted on the GM thread as I catch-up in the evening but I’m shocked at things I’ve seen over the last week.

Annapops Sun 08-Mar-20 22:52:31

I feel so sad. Why do people feel the need to do this to such kind, well meaning and compassionate folk? I am well and truly baffled by what I now an led to believe is a very sick joke. RIP to whoever may have been out genuine poster.

Annapops Sun 08-Mar-20 22:53:12

am, our

gillybob Sun 08-Mar-20 23:00:11

I got some lovely heartwarming PM’s from Mommawolf only a few weeks back . I refuse to believe they were in anyway not genuine .

Nortsat46 Sun 08-Mar-20 23:04:55

Hannah, I am so sorry.
I raised a concern about the tone from some other GN’s and was suddenly drawn in to a lot of disturbing posts.

I loved your mum’s posts, I am terribly upset at the dreadful accident that happened and I am mortified at the dialogue that has gone on here.

I can only say that my thoughts and regards are with you and your family. Sincere condolences ?
