Well after a couple of months of work, I’m thinking I better start looking for a job
Should that 'of' be 'off'?

After my recent retirement I took all my serviceable work clothes to the charity shop.
MrsA instantly claimed the extra wardrobe space for herself but I asked that she weed out anything unworn in 2 years for me to give away.
She did.
The amount of clothing that's hardly or never been worn is eye-watering. Loads had still got tags on.
Good job I've recently discovered Vinted.
Seriously though, I can't think of any item of clothing I've owned that hasn't been worn until destruction.

We did this over the gap between Christmas and new year. Cleared out pretty much nearly 1.5 wardrobes worth of space. Some went to charity, some in the bin and others like you new with tags never worn went on Mrs M’s Vinted page in 2 days we made over £200 it’s ridiculous to think that amount was just sat there unworn. We’ve said now every 6months we’re having a cull and selling what hasn’t been or doesn’t get worn.

No hot water from the shower in sons en suite.
Hot water everywhere else in the house.
He says he has tried stuff but going to wait till he gets home to find out what stuff is before I have a go at it.
Might have to see how much Lord T charges as his plumbing skills seem very adequate going by recent posts. Might even get the snow shovelled off the drive if I’m lucky

My plumbing skills are sadly limited to opening the valve to add more water into the central heating system and errm, that's itNo hot water from the shower in sons en suite.

I have bought a few pairs of trousers in the end of summer sales that I could not get in to the following summer.

Ive always said that i leave plumbing, electrics and gas to the experts.I’m hoping when I turn the hot tap it works.

But at the weekend i was really pleased with my plumbing efforts.
The soft close toilet seat in the en suite was broken. Its about 20 years old so i searched the internet for soft close toilet seat spares. Eventually i found what i thought were exactly what i needed. Despite the blurb stating that this item was regularly returned for wrong size etc.
Anyway, i fitted them and it works perfectly. They cost £30, not cheap but better than a call out charge from the local plumber.

Watching ITV earlier and in the break they promote a new prog "Olivia and Alex on Parenthood".
My wife idly says "Who are they?"
Facetiously, I reply "They probably won Love Island or such".
I Google it and, bogger me, I'm right!
So, here we go, 50yrs married, 2 kids, 3 grandkids, waiting for 2 Love Island "slebs" to share their pearls of wisdom.

We’ve sprung a leak from the wall mounted bath/shower mixer tap. The mixer is def corroded/holed but until its removed I cant tell if the pipe work behind is still sound, if not it’ll mean making a hole in wall to repair. Reluctant to do it fearing the worst but it cant stay as is
Plumber out this morning and new mixer tap fitted, 5 min job as pipes behind were still in decent nick, phew!

My daughter has ordered one that comes with all the bits and sounds very similar to yours.
I think it’s a Silver Cross something but don’t quote me on that.
It’s not available till start of February though, I didn’t know they had a build time

Being moaned at, at work for my lads having the audacity to be dressed in their own clothes in their downtime whilst others are at work. Apparently it sets a bad example that they have a day off when others don’t ! My lot technically shouldn’t even be here for another 4 days so have stand down time to do their own thing but the powers that be decided to fly us out early to save money on flights and now it’s our fault for not having work until the day we can physically start our work!!

All those who have enjoyed my company, and maybe friends on FB, unfriend me sharpish. Bit of a blip but losing 3 good friends in 6 days has come as a shock.
40 years ago it was weddings & christenings. These days it seems to be visits by the grim reaper.
