Your day as a newspaper headline

95 year old gets excellent service from local GP surgery! Not only was the phone answered by a very pleasant sounding human being, they were extremely helpful in arranging a prescription for emergency supply of medication. Now if that is not headline news, I don’t know what is!!!
This actually happened today. I am looking after my brothers 95 yr old fil whilst all his family are on a long awaited holiday cruise to the Canary Islands. Long story short, I realised he was confusing his medication, in spite of being informed he was more than capable, and consequently was going to run out of one particular important tablet by next Tuesday! Phoned his surgery and got excellent service.

Collected a free YOUNG crab Apple tree from local council depot today, some but nut job had trimmed ALL the roots from it!!!! Council assured me that they were all supplied bye expert growers who "know what they are doing" ? Really? Every single one of the bored underpaid cold wet minions trimming the roots of what look like sticks -know exactly what they're doing..........?

Yes another Maine Coon story. There seem to be several of us besotted owners on Gransnet. Has anyone found a way to groom out the mats AND keep your fingers? I’ve tried leather gloves but he still gets me on the wrist.
PS He’s a darling boy really.

Much too late to tell you now that you should have taken him by the scruff of his neck and said you would shake him while hissing the first time he did that as a kitten.

You see that was what his biological mother did when he misbehaved and it worked like a charm with my long deceased ginger female Norwegian Forest cat, and all and every cat who has tried that kind of defiance since.

You don't need to shake the little darlings gently -the threat is eough and hissing does work.

Or you can growl if you like, but I find hissing works better.

Pensioner, 80, puts fear into neighbours with her screaming and blubbing. She told police she was looking forward to eating a bacon sandwich for lunch but when she went to the fridge she remembered she had eaten the last rasher yesterday.

Gramps very grumpy at utter failure of Boots £0.49p sample bottle.

My urine sample was rejected, simply because the lid was red plastic. It seems there is a world shortage of white topped pee bottles and the NHS no longer supply these.

(No supervision or managerial oversight of local privatised surgery could have something to do with this, in my humble opinion)

Haha - love this thread, well done ladies!

PENSIONER INJURED IN JAMMY DODGER RELATED INJURY.
Plucky pensioner (66) was under the kitchen table trying to scrape the half-term induced explosion of squashed Jammy Dodgers and exploded felt tips off her kitchen floor when the doorbell rang and she banged her head on the kitchen table. The brave elderly woman crawled out and managed to phone a friend to complain about her grandchildren and intends to send a letter to her MP about the possibility of cancelling all future half term holidays. The plucky pensioner has also sent contraceptive pills to both daughter-in-laws and turned her phone off due to anticipated massive family row.
