Hi all,
I am traumatised. It was disgusting. I feel sickenvy(not envy). X

Don’t go there Spangler !
We had a whole thread about that a while back, Rosecarmel thought the universal comments of horror were anti-American and WWIII was narrowly averted!

Thanks for the heads up. I did laugh both at your comments of averting a third world war and that of the poster that I read about uniting the UK for the first in four years.

Curiosity has got the better of me, I shall have to look it up.

How could I forget watching paint dry The hours of fun I could have had over the past 5 months. Buggeration ?
I'll remember next time. Thank you for the reminder?

Callistemon thankfully the pins have the little bobble on the ends, so they were very easy to find, unfortunately some have gone down the gaps in the floorboards and are gone for ever.
So I now have a dilemma, do I buy more ? Bearing in mind that they are nasty little b*****s that seem to have sharp little barbs in them that really, really hurt. Or do I buy ordinary pins that I lose all the time and then turn up stuck in the soles of my feet.?
So many questions,
I think I’ll go and have a cuppa and then see if the paint has dried on the mirror I’m painting, Oh! I haven’t told you about that have I?
Well, I don’t want to overexcited you so I’ll save it for another time.
Nighty night.......

For my next exciting instalment watch this space.

Sorry *flying to interrupt your thread

Got to love The Crickets.

I've got some of those pins, Oopsadaisy
Lots of pretty colours. So lovely.
I won a raffle earlier this year, it was so exciting, my prize was a packet of pins.

Oopsadaisy3 Mon 10-Aug-20 22:51:38

Oh Callistemon how lucky are you? Were they the 2 inch ones ? Or the ever so slightly smaller ones?

I’ll wait whilst you go and measure them,

I particularly love the green ones.

See a pin and pick it up and the rest of the day you can go barefoot......

Oh yes! More than I can say.

Sometimes I log on to Gransnet and think I've entered a parallel universe.

Whoa, whoa, yay, yay
Indeed Callistemon

Goodness knows what I did with them! They had flower shapes on the top, I think. They may still be buried at the bottom of my handbag. My friend won a lovely handcrafted cushion and I got a packet of pins ?

Twice as much tomorrow

Oopsadaisy3 Mon 10-Aug-20 23:02:12

I await tomorrow with breathless anticipation.

LadyBella Mon 10-Aug-20 23:10:30

I can beat that. Whilst cooking the other evening I reached out for my glass of wine and took a gulp - but I'd actually drunk the eggs that I had whipped up in a glass for an omelette! I was almost sick!

Callistemon Mon 10-Aug-20 23:12:39

A magnet would pull them out of the cracks so they could never rise up and stab you in the foot.
It doesn't work on Lego, though, more's the pity.

Hope everyone's paint is dry by morning.

Tomorrow I shall be unable to articulate my affection .

Feelingmyage55 Tue 11-Aug-20 00:34:52

oopsadaisy I read all the way through to ask if you had a magnet but got beaten to it. What are you making with the flat headed pins? Patchwork?

Feelingmyage55 Tue 11-Aug-20 00:39:47

FlyingHandbag. Keep them coming. I like your quirky posts. I forgot to put the teabag in the pot today so I don’t know what to call the insipid liquid I took a mouthful of. Better pay more attention.
Do you have an extensive handbag collection? I don’t use a handbag because I would lose it. I only buy jackets with big pockets.

This is getting more riveting by the minute the excitement is killing me

And keeping you awake by the look of it !

I’ve just walked the dog and am drinking my tea- and it’s still hot.

Charleygirl5 Tue 11-Aug-20 08:00:05

If you do not mind I would like to keep Hattie company and you would not have to worry about either of us for a couple of hours and then water for Hattie and coffee for me. Simples.

Lucca Tue 11-Aug-20 08:09:05

Worried I may let my toast go cold, or my cereal go soggy.

Hattie had a lovely cool walk through the fields and is now resting her eyes while I drink my tea
