Home schooling, it’s just different nowadays in how they do things, as I get a blank look off my 9 year old like I’m an idiot, maybe he is right ?

We have put hand sanitizer spots on our stations

People are already stealing the 5l bottles from the locked box underneath

My random irritation....certain forum members (only a few) who have to make the same repetitive point (usually political) over and over again in the same thread.

Just repeating the same diatribe doesn’t make you right.
Make your point, express your view. Then try listening to other people’s views without repeatedly trying to enforce your opinions onto them. You might learn more.

My cat deciding to have a fight with the fly paper that I'd hung in our lounge. She attacked it and got totally wrapped up in it. Managed to get it off her but she was left covered in the sticky stuff. After phone calls to the vet and the fly paper manufacturer the advice was to use vegetable oil to get it out and then wash the oil out with fairy liquid. Got all of the sticky stuff out with the first bath but then had to give her a second bath to get the remaining oil out. This photo was taken after the first bath (she was even less happy after the second bath).....

The tailbacks from a recently opened MacDonalds causing chaos on the surrounding roads.
Quite why you would wait an hour for completely dross food is beyond me ??‍♀️

That and queues the day IKEA reopened - I fear for what we've become as a nation.

My epitaph will read "she never visited IKEA or a car boot sale".

IKEA were pretty awful during lockdown to be fair with deliverys and stuff

My mate is expecting and due very soon..ordered some furniture for baby's nursery had to wait until end of may for delivery (April order) day before the order they said her order had been cancelled .. no explanation

Prob why everyone is outside now to get what they need.

Some of their stuff is good. We inherited an IKEA kitchen when we moved it. Not bad at all .. got rid of one of the wardobes recently was well put together .. lasted from whenever previous owner put up until I ripped it down for the loft stairs to go through that area

A friend of mine queued for 2 1/2 hours to go to the council tip. Apparently it was better than being at home with his wife and young kids.
Bucks tips were heaving when they reopened.
It's amazing how many people suddenly had essential waste that they couldn't safely store at home- one of the criteria for being allowed in - but were quite happy to sit in a car with it for a couple of hours.....
Where had the stuff been? Unless it was spent nuclear fuel rods it could probably have stayed put for a while longer....
