Your day as a newspaper headline

OAP marvels at life's ups and downs.

OAP tries in vain to obtain LFT tests at local chemists who have all just run out as they've given the last one away so returns home feeling a bit down. What a wasted journey.

A rattling of the letter box later reveals a white and blue box half in and half out. It contains the afore-mentioned test kit. "What a coincidence," she exclaims. Someone up there must be psychic, a little something which has brightened her day.

Pensioner reports aliens have landed.

An elderly woman grabbed her mobile and phoned the Police in a panic screaming 'Aliens have landed, they're here in my street!' She said a small white alien spacecraft was moving slowly down the road. The call handler told her it was a Starship robot which surprised her. 'I thought a Starship would be larger' she exclaimed, 'the Enterprise is a lot bigger than that'. She eventually calmed down when she was told the alien craft only contained an order of fish and chips for No 23 and would do her no harm.

Cheery pensioner has a good laugh at other pensioners and their headline grabbing news items. 'I thought it was just me,' said Gran (67)

Outraged grandmother flatly denied this morning that she had anything whatsoever to do with the oven control shooting up from gas mark 3 to gas mark 7 while two very important birthday cakes were baking inside. Despite having to concede that nobody else was in the house at the time.

All will be well when the ever so slightly scorched cakes are disguised with icing and Ninjago and dinosaur characters, she predicted confidently. While googling poltergeist activity on her phone.

Gran on a 3 day break at son’s house underestimates how much their labrador has grown in recent weeks. She foolishly left a tray of 20 freshly made potato cakes to cool on the worktop.

Local Gran goes wild

A local milkman received a nasty shock not so early this morning when he sighted what he thought to be an escaped leopard from the nearby wild animal park. The large creature was seen prowling around the front garden of a property approx 3 miles from the park. However on closer observation he discovered the creature to be the occupant of the property who had ventured out to collect her newspaper from her post box. The woman apologised profusely and explained that her animal print jim jams were lovely and fluffy and cosy and she had no intention of getting changed any time soon.

My intentions are honourable." She added six more balls to her not so secret stash half-hidden behind the sofa. She insisted that she lived in a good area and had lead a fairly respectable life before the woolly addiction took hold.

Gran defends herself from allegations of witchhood

Following a recent report by this newspaper , in which a local Grandmother was quoted as muttering ancient incantations whilst brewing nourishing soup , we have received information that the Grandmother of four is in fact a witch.

In her defence she pointed out that her efforts to ward off the pestilence sweeping the area had failed and she herself has now succumbed to the virus.
This reporter could not possibly comment due to fear of litigation ?
