So long as within GN rules, post what you like!
About whatever subject you like!
No thread police or bossiness or pedantics here! Here's hoping.

I am being a bit tongue in cheek.
But I for one am geuinely interested in hearing what others are thinking.

So go for it on here!
Within GN rules of course.

No idea how the thread will go. But hey ho.
If no one posts, nothing lost.
I will have learnt that this type of thread is not needed.

My DD2’s just bought a Phillips de-bobbler and it’s very good. I had a go with it today and was impressed. Even more so when she leant over and switched it on. blush

Thank god for TV! We are currently in the middle of a Sean the Sheep obsession, which I don't mind watching. A life saver when I'm too tired to handle the 4 year old boy after school.

Enjoy your meal!

Nearly killed myself at the gym today. And then realised I'd got to walk to pick the bl**dy car up. On doddery, stiff legs from all the leg machines I'd been on.

Now resting the offended (and offending) legs on the sofa.

SorryGagajo that made me laugh 🤣

I rocked up at the gym this morning for my favourite stretch class only to find that the instructor was on holiday and the class was being taken by the gym owner.

One hour straight of HIT, came home picked up a lively three year old. Persuaded him it to cuddle up on the sofa and binge watch The Gruffalo films followed by Wallace & Gromit collection.

I shall be crawling to the car when we go out for dinner later.

I could stuff a cushion with all the bobbles on my m & s jumpers.

Sarah75 Fri 24-Feb-23 16:11:05

Yes, I have a wool comb, from White Stuff - but thought the battery run bobble removers might be quicker and more effective?

So I bought a bobble remover from Amazon well that was a total waste of money it does diddly squit
Bobbles still very much there on my jumpers grrrrrrr

I have a wool comb from The White Company, I find it effective at removing bobbles.

Oh, that’s disappointing to read - I’ve been Googling bobble removers (grin), as I have lots of jumpers with bobbles on……. I wonder if it’s worth paying a bit more?

A bit sexist Maw if a man had put that up with the opposite, all hell would be unleashed!

Aldom Fri 24-Feb-23 15:16:21

Very amusing Maw I've forwarded it to a few people. grin

Drink plenty of water. Get your nail file and hand cream and give yourself a manicure if you can manage it. Big hug. God bless you.

Very unlucky Bluebelle. I have two that work well.

I take back my dismissive comment earlier blush
This - because I can’t think where else to post it

I’ve just spent 5 minutes updating my Fantasy Football team, a full hour updating DGS1’s. Now off to consult with DGS2’s on his. They’ll both end up with much better teams than me. Greater love hath no Nanna. grin

Has anyone noticed how Shredded Wheat breakfast cereal is so mediocre these days? Two biscuits used to be quite filling but I've noticed recently, once the milk is on them they simply disintegrate, doesn't seem to be any substance to them now.

I'm on a limited non salad diet, so had the awful dilemma in the veg department whether to buy green beans flown in from Kenya faces me regularly...

There are 2 lettuces and 6 tomatoes in the salad drawer in our fridge <smug smile>

I bought a really nice cauliflower in Tesco yesterday. And some rather tired looking carrots. It seems to be salad goods which are in short supply.

Therese Coffey reckons that we should ‘cherish’ turnips

Just been to Aldi and along with groceries purchased some duct tape with pretty leaves on it . Why ? No idea .

Because it was pretty. 🙂 Just some colourful tape on amazon. Nice.

henetha I was able to get all my veg in Tesco and the cauliflowers did look
good but the salad shelves are looking a bit sparse.

It is freezing here this morning. I would love to fly off to somewhere warm with golden beaches and endless blue sky and sea.

BlueBelle Fri 24-Feb-23 09:36:41

The winters are soooo long and the summers so short I too would like it warmer but we can’t have everything, I just think the stork drop me a bit high up on the map
