Things I have learned of late

Dh is suddenly very keen on doing the food shop. That’s because he does it in the M&S food dept., because it’s now so easy to park and much quieter than Asda (where I always did most of it day to day.)

Nothing of course to do with the fact that he goes round picking up all manner of M&S-special snacks and nibbles that I wouldn’t usually buy even at rather less ££ in Asda.

grannygravy - not true!!

We have fitted wardrobes that run back into the eaves. We recently got to the back of ours and it was filthy!

AGAA4 Love your comment about the fridge. Made me chuckle. We all need to laugh more in these trying times. (Also
I’ve never cleaned my ‘fridge so much in all the years I’ve been marrie (42yrs). Well got to do something with all the antibacterial wipes and sprays I’ve accumulated ?

Barmeyoldbat. It’s called a floordrobe.

Waitrose, M&S dwarling! No, sorry, refuse to pay twice the price for the same stuff. Aldi all the way to the bank for me thanks

I have learnt :
That I like coffee. Why? I never drink it Have to have a strong black each morning
That tidying up is a total waste of time. The dining table/desk is just as messy 24 hours later
That planting seeds too is a total waste of time; buying/begging plants from neighbours is more successful
That my daughters are really concerned about me Ive just received a 3rd amazing food parcel full of goodies ?
(I have a plummy accent, live in the Cotswolds , my village is double barrelled (but doesn’t involve North or South) & I never set foot in my local Waitrose- can’t bear the clientele. I stick to Aldi, far friendlier ?)

.... love the idea that TripAdvisor’s top travel destination is the fridge!! More exotic contents perhaps?

I was hoping to learn something on this thread. I'm mega disappointed.

I have learned how to send small parcels from home. I pay online, print labels and pop in the post box saving a trip to the post office seeing as I can't go out.

I have learnt that even my feather duster won’t clean right the way down behind the radiators.
That stilts cable-tied to the sides of my small step ladders make me feel secure enough to paint the ceiling.
That being able to have a lie in every day isn’t as good as I thought it would be, getting up early is better.
Then finally, that I’d never heard of Carole Baskin and am unlikely to even Google her to find out.

Dannirae, I can assure you I never did before we were incarcerated!!

Some other Oxfordshire girls here!

Or have no wardrobes and be a teenager, chuck them on the floor.What have I learnt being on lockdown, number 1 is being a slob is not so bad after all. Somehow I have lost a little bit of weight and as for coffee bags, well I think that is very upmarket.

The secret to never having to clean behind your wardrobe is to invest in fitted ones ???

Oh Nanna58 who cleans behind their wardrobes? Not me for sure!

I have learned that if you don’t clean behind your wardrobes for years the skirting board there will grow more fur than your dog!! ?

Is it just me who is confused?

The only bits I understand so far are Waitrose, teabag, foodbank university and Chipping Norton (my ancestral home).
Actually, that is quite a lot.

Is my accent plummy?
I would have to let others decide!

Carol Baskin is no better in my opinion than Exotic Joe. Her tigers are kept in equally small enclosures and she charges people to come and see them, it’s a zoo. Both are as bad as each other.
Sorry, I digress from the OP.

I agree with you Bossyrossy. That Carol is a piece of work. No more an animal lover than Joe Exotic!! That bitch Carol f***ing Baskin!!!

Trip Advisor's top destination is the fridge. Very few cases of coronavirus there. A little cool most of the year but safe.

Carol Baskin is just as bad as all the other idiots who keep lions and tigers in cages. Dreadful woman

Wasn't hugely impressed with Tiger King

Far too many episodes but youngest daughter wanted to watch

A spoiler alert re discussing Tiger King would have been nice... I haven’t watched the programme yet ?

Carol Baskin is exploiting big cats in the name of conservation, her cages are far too small, she is as odious as Joey Exotic (have only watched the first programme, not sure I shall ever be bored enough to view the rest of the series)

Did look a bit like Carol might have bumped off her old man, though...

Lemongrove

The. bloke off of Tiger King plotted to have Carol Baskin murdered. She is a lovely lady who rescues Big Cats and has a sanctuary you can access on YouTube - there are several live webcams so you can watch them. I don’t know why anyone except that lunatic lot especially the one in prison would call her that. ??‍♀️
