I have requested my post be deleted. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Kalu, many of us have done it!! I once posted a rant to DD on GN. I was mortified!!

Thank you for your help Foxygloves I was panicking. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Marydoll I think I should put my iPad away for the day before I make another faux pas.
#silly old fool I have become.
I have noticed others doing this and often wondered how it could possibly happen…..now I know much to my embarrassment. x

Good morning Mick and all from Cloudy Chambers northwest coast. I’m about to put some washing out, but no rain forecast…
After spending an extra day in Frankfurt through flight problems, I got the days mixed up and thought yesterday was Thursday! Missed my art class. Bit worrying brainwise when that happens.
My DD has exchanged contracts for her new flat in the south which is pleasing. She will have an extra bedroom and more space generally. I’m looking forward to visiting her.
Off tonight to see a mystery play at the local theatre and have a warble to get my singing voice going again.

I’m so sorry RoseandLilac that’s so stressful. It happened to me last month and someone immediately popped into the nearest pub/restaurant with my card and had a slap up meal with drinks! But I had another card and your situation is upsetting.
Hope all goes well for your sister Whitewave and thoughts to all with worries 🌹

A late good morning from South Lanarkshire, I’ve just counted and baubles posted 4 hours ago and has half a shift done by now! It’s the result of a poor sleep and tumultuous dreams, I dreamt that a billionaire was leaving his puppy in a dog salon in London which was charging two million pounds a day so he would be bankrupt in two years. I have no idea idea what that was about other than I’ve been considering whether I can/ should replace my old windows!

I’m going out for lunch ( can I afford it?!) with three former work colleagues so will push on. Your real dilemma sounds awful RosesandLilac, I hope everything works out for you and you get away for your holiday.

Wishing everybody a good day.

Just had some good news. Scottish Gas are sending us an amended bill and the huge DD has been amended. 🤞
Thanks for the newspaper article, Foxy.

DELIGHTED to hear this.
How you kept your nerve I don’t know! I can imagine a scenario where an elderly body, perhaps living alone might not be able to stand up to this bureaucratic bullying and just turn their face to the wall.
I hope you got an apology for the distress it caused - and some compensation too.

As you say - not the first and won’t be the last to press “send” too soon or the wrong button .
Somebody once sent me a PM which was clearly intended for somebody else but was ABOUT me.
It contained some embarrassing observations (maybe home truths?) and made for salutary reading, but she must have burned with embarrassment at my reply.
Or maybe not

Foxy, in the past I would have dealt with it, but my addled brain doesn't cope well these days. DH was brilliant, he trawled back years and made a spreadsheet of our readings and costs. You couldn't really argue with the evidence.
I will wait until I see the amended staement before celebrating!
I was in the doctor's when I saw the original email with the £700+ monthly DD. I thought I was going to have a heart attack!

I agree, I don't know how elderly people on their own cope. It's shocking.

Good morning all and I’m late to the party.

Just had a beautiful walk along the beach with little pooch. It’s low tide so plenty of sand . We had a 10k run here every Saturday morning and it gets busy. The cafe does we,l with coffees and bacon/sausage baps. They had all gone by the time we went down and we had the beach to ourselves. Bliss!

Dh is mending a small window in the garage. Must have blown out in the winds. Our old (same age as me) MG is In there so it needs to be protected.

Today I’ll empty the flower tubs and put in new bulbs.
Our two sons are coming in a couple of weeks time for a working weekend . We have a list for them. Bless ‘em!

Healing thoughts to all those who need them. 🌻

A very late good morning what a horrible thing to happen ,hope you manage to get some money until your card comes through.I am out for lunch with friend soon so I had better get a move on. Hope everyone finds something to smile about today.

Kalu, honestly don't worry about it. We've all done it. At least you didn't say, 'There's this Mizuna on GN, always bleating on about her knee/patio swing seat/allotment. Yawn.' 😂😂
