When you've finished that you should watch The Puppet Master. It takes gullible to a whole new level.
Enjoyed the Tinder Swindler, apparently he is still on Tinder and hasn’t given up trying to swindle!
we started The puppet master but switched off after half an hour.
I may watch it, and record OH's comments... he really was hilarious, he could not get his head around someone having sex on the first date and saying that they were in love in a matter of days... the most sensible comment he made was 'they maybe in love with the idea of being in love.'
My finger is hovering over the send button with my resignation letter. May not seem a big step to some but this has been my only 'proper' job and have been with the company for 27 years. Wish me luck
Edit: Sent it, no going back now.
Good luck, I am sure you will love your new adventures.
Travelling tomorrow Mrsmac, DD and her fiance can't come down until later today. She was coming down yesterday, but has been waiting for her car to be fixed from when someone went into her a few weeks ago, it was due to be fixed in June (still driveable) but they changed that and decided to pick it up today, some time before 16:00, and then they have a 3 or 4 hour drive to get down her, The crem is only an hour and a half away, probably less, so not too bad. Thank you for asking xx
so is everyone ready for pancake day....what's yur fave topping? mine is lemon and sugar or maple syrup x

I continue to send my love and support to Inna and her family.
I possibly was very slow on the uptake in realising that the sunflower is the national flower of your families homeland so I hope that one day soon those flowers will bloom again in Ukraine for all to enjoy
Pancakes...sorry I don't like them but I will be giving up wine for lent.
and a bit of the old sods law...Today I get invited to the insiders campaigns for LG washing machines and fridge freezers....
A busy week awaits as we have a new set of tenants due soon

I said I was delighted as they are hoping to get on the property ladder and going to stay with inlaws short term I said we would now sell as we are getting too old to be bothered with repairs etc The property has done us well
Got a text saying they may want to buy as they like the location rather then get into a bidding war

Coffee is needed
We had the same last week with one of our tenants.

I’ve never thrown an unused lemon out. At the very least I cut in half and they go on a dishwasher spike for a few washes, even the ones I have squeezed.
is that to clean the dishwasher?x
Clean and the smell. Just uses up lemons. I would never buy a lemon for this purpose but if I use for a recipe I will use any leftovers (this includes lime) in the dishwasher afterwards 👍🏻
I think I must have missed a lot of shenanigans yesterday. I feel out of the loop.
Just to say I think that the mods do a great job on this thread. It's a difficult line to tread and without them I don't think we would function as a group😕
Postimage still down for me😕
Ha Postimage; Gonna get my GD to show me how to do this one of these days. I will line up all the missed things shown on here . Gardens. Trinkets. Teapots. Cupboards. You lot just wait 🤣

Thanks everyone for your wishes re the job. Resignation accepted. There is still nervousness as their are possible contractual issues with going to my new employer. New owner (for 2 years following old owner who was there for 25) has subtly made it clear that I am not central to his plans for the company (if you can call claiming to not even know that there are supposed to be annual pay reviews subtle) and therefore happy to see me leave may nonetheless see an opportunity in this for his enrichment.

I wonder if this was what was causing you the stress of worrying about your family. Now that you have made your decision I hope you are feeling less stressed.
good luck with your new job. Do you have a gap between jobs? Or even any pay overlap?
Sadly this is more a symptom of the problem than part of the solution. DW who appears to have no intention of going back to work from when we had kids (oldest is now 17, youngest 13) is not onboard with me prioritising pension savings so I can retire before 67 over current income for spending (by her).
Blinkin' doctor. A few days ago received a message requesting I send BP readings. Reminder yesterday, so I tried to send the readings using the link they sent, but although the link works, when I get to the part where it says input the results, it won't let me change what is preset on the image.
Grrr. I might be a grumpy old man, but I'm not a dinosaur.
Anyway, I've sent a message to the surgery saying that I no can do.
Could this be like my doctors only works for sending stuff through links
Daily Monday to Friday between 9am - 12.30pm
Looks like you may have been correct sis 😌
Email from GP saying "just email it to us then", but I thought I'd try again. It was just before 9-30 and allowed me to input the info and send it.

I'm lucky in that matt doesn't spend anything coz he doesn't do anything or go anywhere but he's never worked here. We don't get any assistance btw.
Can you set up a pension pot that runs a direct debit from your account into the pot so it's like a bill that goes out then its allocated before she starts spending?
We used to pay ourselves £50 a month for spends so anything we wanted came out of that rather than the main account but when I went part time we couldn't afford to do that anymore so our spends come from surveys for matt and receipts for me

Quite frankly, what does she do at home all day? Does she consider housework to be her job? If she wants money to spend on luxuries for herself, then maybe she should get off her proverbial and get at least a part time job so SHE can pay for it.
Anything I spend on me is out of my Prolific or survey earnings. I know I don't 'work' but I do a lot to help OH with his business, to the extent that it could not operate without me, and I do not expect to spend money on myself out of that work. OH perhaps does not earn as much as he could elsewhere, but he is far happier doing this than he ever was working for someone else, and that goes a long way towards happiness at home.
I have a welsh gold wedding ring too snap...My nanna used to say a welsh gold wearer will always spot another by the colour. I never understood what she meant until it happened and someone once shook my hand and commented on the ring being welsh.
