Oopsadaisy3 the toilet will be fitted once the laminate is down, with a hole drilled through the wall for the waste, so it's all on hold until the floor dries out!
I had contracts arranged in March just as lockdown hit so it's already been a long time coming ?

No there isn't, I have never liked the thought of having a partner, I feel that I am very happy with my life and I don't see how it would benefit me. X

Is there a mouse in the house? X

I'm loving this but I've no idea what is going on ....cold tea, paint, ponds

Mrst1405 Tue 11-Aug-20 17:04:21

I don't mind cold at all. Dh brings me a cuppa about 6am and I drink it whenever. I don't take milk so that may help.

I don’t think it’s a mouse somehow!?‍?

Oopsadaisy3 Tue 11-Aug-20 17:10:20

Oh how I would long to answer Flyinghandbags latest post.

And then I thought

Nope, not going there.

Oopsadaisy3 Tue 11-Aug-20 17:11:10

Not the mouse one, that snuck in, the one about how a partner might benefit one.

It’s a mystery to me

You're doing it again, FlyingHandbag hmm

FlyingHandbags, it really would be very helpful if you didn't always quote, ad verbatim, the whole post that you reply to. It makes it a bit confusing to keep 're reading the same post and trying to decipher what you're quoting and what your reply is.

Why? grin

I knew someone would do that! grin

MawB Tue 11-Aug-20 20:19:20

Why? MissAdvenure?

Because it is unnecessary, frequently irrelevant, lengthens the thread without adding to it, and reveals that FH has not yet realised that she has to chip in and comment on every flipping post.
You can’t have a conversation or discussion when one person interrupts it at every turn.
I’ve given up on the spurious hugs and xxxxx kisses - just do my best to tune them out.
Answered your question?

And if this is living life in the fast lane - my gob is well and truly smacked.
My goldfish could have shown these fast laners a thing or two!

MissAdventure Tue 11-Aug-20 20:32:31

It was a joke, maw

lemongrove Tue 11-Aug-20 20:37:09

The boxes to show who you are answering ( quote facility) are good as long as they are not constantly used just to say thank you to a poster who has liked your posts.Hugs and kisses to complete strangers are a mystery.?
I think I may make a slice of toast....any advice as to how I butter it? Anyone?

lemongrove Tue 11-Aug-20 20:38:26

Could I borrow your grill pan MissA ? I know you enjoy a slice right about now in the evening.

Oops sorry! In this parallel universe it can be unclear who is being (justifiably) ironic and who is taking things literally.
At least it was considerably funnier than the one about the Beckhams killing Harper Seven
