I looked the Carol person up on Wikipedia ... she doesn't seem too bad and I certainly agree with her views on exotic animals being kept as pets in American backyards. What has she done recently to get up your nose, Gwiz5? Has there been some recent scandal?

No Grannyscott, a teabag cant do 2/3 cups of tea,its just weak dishwater-BUT -a coffee bag CAN do two cups of coffee.and then can be opened up& is good fodder for roses i hear.smile

Gone back to tea leaves at least 3 cups and then chuck on the garden or should I have said throw?

I'm saving a fortune at the moment..!! I've always preferred to meet up with friends once or twice a week for lunch or tea out, as I don't go for many holidays, so usually spend my money on enjoying myself throughout the year...
It's been a sad comedown from the social point of view, but gosh, it's saving me money - my credit card bill has been half the usual amount..!
I've been sending money to my local Foodbank - as I am no longer able to go shopping so I'm not putting items in the collection trolley at the supermarket - and donating to my local volunteer group, who are doing a great job of making sure that no-one falls through the cracks in the support network.

Canklekitten that is just a rumour put about by that Exotic bloke with whom she's had a long running feud.

and another thing, whenever I say thankyou, it is all one word
but when I type thankyou... it (whoever or whatever it is)
keeps telling me it is wrong

I want to know who Carole thingy is..
oh I found that a teabag does more than one cup of tea ages ago, but then I drink it black and weak.

b..... good job a plummy accent isn`t a pre- requisite for immunity, says me with my steadfast Brummie accent

I`m not one for travel so fiddle ( I did type stuff, but don`t know how to mark them out)all travel adverts

and being very smug here,, I have lost weight these last few months, but sadly, that is only because my dh died,, (I am not joking here)
I do NOT recommend that as a way to lose weight though.

Love this thread, thankyou

Not sure who she is but that seems to be a good thing, I think! I only shop at Waitrose when I can’t be bothered to go to the extra mile or so to Sainsbury’s. Is there a link proving which supermarket provides the best guarantee of staying clear of Covid 19?

@summerlove. Afraid not lovely !!

A teabag can do 3 cups /mugs of tea.

I don't know who Carole Fkcin Baskin is either. Which sounds like it might be a good thing.

pce612 Thu 23-Apr-20 10:05:28

Who is Carole Fkcin Baskin?

Summerlove Thu 23-Apr-20 01:00:00

I’m glad “that bitch“ has been good for something!

lemongrove Wed 22-Apr-20 23:43:41

Damn! I really thought that living in Chipping Norton and shopping at Waitrose would save me.?

Evening all
It’s now no longer weird to ask Siri what day is it

Getting emails from easyJet saying ‘ picture yourself here ‘ is not at all helpful and a little bit mean Stavros.

Being afraid to try on clothes that did fit 3 weeks ago is not over the top.

Staying in in is the new out out.

???And in health news???

Shopping at Waitrose or M+S does NOT afford immunity from the virus OR as is currently thought exemption from following the rules regarding staying indoors/ not meeting for a delicious gluten/dairy/nut/meat free feast with Ethel and her 5 kids and her nanny and timmy the teacup dog.

Research done by A university for real people also now confirms that having a plummy accent and coming from ‘ anywhere that starts with ‘ North daaaahling ‘ Affords NO immunity what so ever. It does however lead to being more of an idiot.

????ON A PERSONAL NOTE ????

I’m pleased to say that my menopause bitch level has been downgraded - mostly due to the rise of that bitch Carole Fkcin Baskin

Stay safe , stay well , stay indoors.
