Evening all

Guess who's rushing around trying to find what he needs for his trip?

I was sure I'd printed it all off, but can't find it so found / printed it all again - Embarkation Form, Insurance, GHIC, Train Pass, Money (WiFi has given me some spending money), plus some Euros. Will finish off tomorrow before I'm offski.

Thank you all for the bungalow links and tips

Had a medical appointment today by video link - was ok, but now I have to have a face-to-face appointment.

I reckon the sad face was from Rosie, because Tweet didn't buy her something tasty from Tesco!

Morning

Sending prayers for Florida got upset this morning first thing i see on web is a gorgeous black white dog tied to a fence waist deep in water in Florida. Good news police rescued it but to owners.

I dont care what happens my Rosie comes with me i wouldnt even think of tying her up to a fence.

It’s always been known ( by me anyway🤣) that blue towel of any sort whether it’s hand towels or in the old days toilet rolls when they were popular would block toilets and drains. Where I work there would be a choice of towels to use for various things and they had to put a notice up stating that blue towel’s were not to be flushed . Must be the dye that’s used .

This blue paper has got me thinking...
When was the last time anyone saw coloured toilet paper in the supermarket?

I remember as a child pink,blue(although very light in colour),green, peach and if you were boring white.

I think the last one to disappear was probably the peach one...I can remember buying that when we were first married...it never went with the colour scheme but was really cheap so that might have been the beginning of it being discontinued.

I can also remember the wonderful avocado suite we had in the bathroom when we bought our house and the absolute joy at buying a white one.

All these years later and I often see coloured suites in the reclamation places and wince at the prices.
When we renovated one property we took out the blue stone bath really carefully with the intention of selling it but dropped and chipped it getting it down the stairs...it would have funded the new bathroom bits but sadly was not to be.

Oh thanks wendy, but what exactly is the hot water and bio powder method please. On the instructions for my macerator
it said nothing should be used on it except the dedicated cleaner which is very expensive, am annoyed as was forced to have this in the extension by the building regs, despite there being a normal loo on the same side of the house only about 12 feet away.

with all this talk of toilet paper, I'll just leave this with you...who remembers IZAL in the school toilets (shudder) and cut up sheets of newspaper hanging on a string in an outside privvy?
