1. It’s too hot…used to love sitting in the sun but now…..,
2. I didn’t think this would happen to me ?… Aches and pains, incapacity for various reasons! Difficulty getting out of chairs.
3. Anyone agree?

Is the third one something you thought you'd never say, or are you asking us if we agree? ?

I once had to tell a young man to “Unhand my mother in law”. I was so appalled it was the only thing that came into my head!
Good luck FC.

Totally agree I literally find very little in life lately to smile about these days. Aches pains of arthritis getting me down and family problems wearing me down emotionally. But that's life I am taking our dog on a long walk now. With lots of water to keep us hydrated.

To one of the children in my Reception class who were in the dressing up corner- “ Whoever is in the Panda, come out at once!”?

Teaching Death of a Salesman to a class who were resisting taking parts, out of my mouth came, "I need a Willie!" Cue much sniggering from 15 year olds. An art teacher colleague was gathering material to give to pupils and uttered the line, "Ok, who wants felt?" ?

Agree on the too hot, I used to sunbathe and use sun beds when there was no sun!

No thank you to an evening out, I would rather stay in.

Witzend Fri 17-Jun-22 12:22:47

Me just the other day - ‘No, I really don’t think I’ll feel like going to Majorca* in October - I’ll be wanting some P & Q at home.’

*to stay with a friend at her holiday home. In my defence we went in late April/May - it was chilly! - and will have been away in September anyway.

'There's a women's football match on TV tonight, I mustn't miss it'

Recently discovered women's football games and really into it. Never been interested in football and the men's game, so it's a phrase I never thought I'd say.

Hope everything goes well for you Fanny flowers.
