I’ll join in.... for Ted change Duck’s to Balls. The lad just cannot resist, he thinks they are all for him! I need to have one on me at all times to keep him focused. (2 actually as I can’t take a chance?) If we lose them he is a real sod and has to go back on the lead.

People who phone and do not leave messages, keep redialling & then expect you to chase missed calls. No. Not happening.

If you want me to call you back, leave me a message; if you can't be arsed, neither can I.

Seemingly it's called Ring and Hing.

Another one today, the National Lottery. I set up an online account for when I occasioanlly but a ticket but the amount of emails they bombard you with is ridiculous. I know the stakes are small but they are pushier than the most rabid of bookmakers, maybe a dozen times a day 'look what you could win' 'look who won this' 'you would hate to miss out if your numbers came up' 'look at our new games' 'but a scratchcard' 'play an online scratchcard'. It is relentless but hardly ever questioned due to the charitable element.

Stopped entering the lottery when they put it up to £2 a few years ago. You are right they play on the charitable element, when all they are concerned about are their profits.

My syndicate also stopped when they increased the price, 6 of us played every Wednesday and Saturday from the beginning. Pure greed .

Timing is everything. A year or two back I bought new work trousers at the start of January with some vouchers I got for Christmas. I have always worn a 34, but the 34s were a bit tight, I figured it was just that shop and their sizing, so I bought a couple of 36s. They've been ridiculously loose ever since, I think it turns out it was just a bit of post-Christmas belly that I soon lost. Oops.

That brings me onto another irritation in buying clothes recently. As I said, I've always bought 34 mostly, but recently I've bought jeans from Costco in a 34 that were too loose when I got them back so I had to go back and get them in 32. Couple of weeks later bought shorts in Costco, so I thought I'd buy them in 32 - too tight, had to take them back and get a 34. What I've realised is, I'm probably bang on a size 33. But that doesn't exist anywhere since they only make even numbers for some stupid reason, so I'm destined to have trousers either extremely snug or with an inch of space, for the rest of my life.

Try GAP. They do trousers in 1 inch increments.

The dawn chorus this morning at 05:30. It sounded like every bird in Dorset was sat on my window ledge.

Before my parents married, my mother worked as the butcher’s cashier in Dewhursts, Carolgate, Retford. I recall being taken there on many a Saturday afternoon (the big shop day), in the late 1950s, as she kept up to date with her work friends after she had left. I still have memories of the separate wooden booth where she worked.

I'll be sure to rush to my local GAP store.

Oh, wait, there is no local GAP store.

My bad.

Agreed. Thought I had enough on and not much extra in the carry bag - put everything I had with me on and still too cold!

Neighbours and parking again

This was the txt I got off them this morning

Morning Paul
Just to make you aware we’ve got 6 viewings from 1230pm today.
4 tomorrow from 1pm.
1 on Sunday at 3pm.
Possibly another at some point over the weekend just waiting to hear back.

Then got back

And another tomorrow.
Still waiting on another.
It ends up like eBay ?
Thanks just causes less traffic and grief if they can just park up with ease. Only here 20 mind at a time.
In out conveyor belt ?

So litterally taking the mick. No gaps

However to this I replied

If you want feel free to leave John's car down the garages then u got the driveway free all weekend, we not using the garage etc

Nah it’s ok it won’t drive that tank down there ?

So basically it's fine to put us out and make the support bubble and garden visits park away from our house so you can fit your non covid safe viewings in.. but you won't move your car that you drive what once a week? Down to the bottom so that your visitors would have two spaces on the drive plus the shared that I've agreed to leave unused

Right then

So I asked

"Hi, hope your visits have been worth having lol no time wasters. Can I put the small car in front the garage over the weekend? We going out in the big car a few times but also have garden visits and then I'd have space for our guests on my drive"

Polite .. read and not replied at 5

So I've told the wife sod it. I'm parking down there .. it's now 9pm I'm home from work she had 4 hours to object to the idea ..

I think I'm more than reasonable considering

This way they get the shared drive as the car won't move until Monday 5am

And we get one space on our drives for garden visitors

Oh and got this from wife now

"Parking down bottom woke them both"

Last time im nice to anyone. Park where I want in future sod your visitors
