They say ,a woman who asked for nothing deserves everything .. So I wish you the very best , you go for it girl !

Good morning everyone it's a sunny 5.c this morning . I think we can declare summer as over and if I was in any doubt our TV reassured me as the adverts played away .I was drawn to the sound of Roy Wood singing that he wishes it could be Christmas everyday ! Well at least a shop called Very wishes it to be so.. Keep safe and wrap up warm guys .

I bet you would be pheasantry surprised if he got you one 😉 Wowzz with a handbag (Radley of course ) Are you sure ?

I could go down town go around the pubs and at chucking out time I would sup up and simply make my own way home .We didn't need 20 police and bouncers and riot vans to make sure we did go home . You could not pay me to go down town at night these days let alone use the pubs . So sad how things have turned out .😐

Yep we had some stupid sayings from far and wide, not just Yorkshire.😊 "Come here and I'll give you a pasting the you'll wish you had never been born !" Memories weren't all that good either.. "What have I just told you" or even ... "Who do you think you are ? " We didn't need travel agents back then as we were told .."They will knock us into the middle of next week"😙 We were very clean though as we were told to "Wipe that smile off your face" and "what's with the dirty look ? " The list goes on but we all knew what they meant .😊

I certainly do , that would be back in the days when I wasn't good or old . The Good Old Days You don't appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older. Little things like being spanked almost every other day by a middle-aged woman: Stuff some would pay good money for in later life, I guess. Lino , it was all over the place in our house, does anyone still use this stuff ? I remember it made great firelighters when we finally got rid of the stuff. It was on par with Izal toilet roll. No one liked that either and personally did prefer the News of the world . I'm surprised it never caught on and we had papers and magazines actually printed on loo rolls, but we have our mobiles we can read now. Toilet seats were freezing back then, used to hate being the first one of the day using it . When we do decide to put our heating on it will be a push of a button , back in the day trying to get the coal fire going could be fun (Not) .Getting the draw tray on the go or down on your hands and knees puffing away trying to bring life to the fire. Eventually you would win but you would be left stinking of smoke and now waiting for the hot water to warm up. But as everyone from that era will tell you it was better back then Have a good day everyone and keep warm .

That's what we do and open all the doors within the house and when the clouds gather I then go around house closing all the doors to keep the heat in . I can still hear in the back of my mind my Dad saying .." Nah then put wood back in hole " and that was back when it was two and half farthings for a bucket of coal😊

Morning all 😊 I'm glad some of you are getting your Christmas slots for shopping sorted . We are registered with Morrisons and use the priority pass .Morrisons will invite us to choose a slot just before they release the dates which will be around 15th of next month . I hate going around proper shops, the Mrs said "don't forget to put ketchup on the shopping list before you set off " .Some use that was, I could hardly read it. Once at the check out The young shop assistant asked me "if I wanna box for my groceries?" I told her only if she didn't hit me too hard, and asked if I could just pay by card instead.😉 Back in my younger days you could go to the store with fiver and come back with enough groceries to last you a week. Sad to say not now, they have security cameras all over . When I step out of the supermarket I usually end up get accosted by our local drunks who hang about there and I can tell you they are getting a bit militant .They all set off shouting at me..... "What do we want ? ..A bottle of Martini.. When do we want it ? Anytime, any place anywhere!" Give me online shopping any day ,its far easier. 😊 Hope you all have a wonderful day, take care .

Didn't he have a milk round and horse that pulled the fastest milk cart in the west ?

We did a tour on the red open top bus, which is hop on hop off ,that took us on a very good tour, passing through Camara de Lobos (where Churchill liked to visit). Good thing is you can hop on or off the bus anytime , we just stayed on and took in the sights. Link for bus .. https://madeira.best/product/red-open-top-sightseeing-bus-funchal-hop-on-hop-off We did that in the morning and did a DIY cable car later on when the queues had died down . As for the baskets we watched a few setting off but it did not appeal to us . As a kid I used to take great pleasure in throwing myself down "cardboard hill" a very steep hill that was scary as hell. Having a couple of guys in straw boater hats assisting me ,didn't do it for me ,so it was back on the cable cars which I loved but Mrs K hated them with a vengence . She's not a fan of heights , Anyone who wants a go though go for it and enjoy .

We took a steady walk from the ship to the cars ,We found it easy to do . https://madeiracablecar-com.translate.goog/?_x_tr_sl=pt&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc

Same here and any reminder is better than non ,when you look how much the missed NHS appointments cost and stop others going in that vacant space. No system will ever be perfect, only last week I booked my covid booster and got a text back with my booking reference. 24 hours later I got another text saying "We are taking bookings in your age group ,would you like to book your booster?" Not a big issue in the scheme of things,much better to be reminded than not at all .

Have a great cruise 😊 Here's todays live stream of Britannia until sail away 😊

Morning folks ,sorry to hear some of you have troublesome throats 😐 Have you tried some homemade drinks remedy's ? Here' s one you can try ..Very popular with our northern friends ...

Have a good one 😊 Happy cruising .... Happy V 😁😍

Go Gill treat yourself , if you want some money saving tips ... If you want to save money this Christmas. Now is the perfect time to tell the kids... Santa didn't make it through the pandemic.. They will understand 😉 To save even more money I made myself a pair of glasses out of 2 old ketchup bottles. In Heinz-sight I should have just bought a proper pair from Specsavers

That's exactly how my Mrs packs our stuff You two have a good time away 😊

Even though I get up early, I'm very good at sleeping ..I can do it with my my eyes closed As you are a confessed insomniac and you usually have nice thoughts ..Just think ... Only five more sleeps to Christmas for you !😊 You could buy a memory foam pillow and see if that helps ,I bought a second hand one off E-Bay but I couldn't settle ,it wanted to know who the hell I was Good luck with the meditation ,I suppose it's better than sat around doing nothing Have a good day and take care

My memory isn't what it used to be. It bothers me sometimes, but the rest of the time I just forget about it.

Sorry to hear your feeling down and at a guess now being on your own aint much fun is it ? This page was put together for support and when your feeling down we ,the other posters are more than happy to try and lift your spirits up for you, or anyone else . I know things are tough at the moment, I went to have an haircut Barbers and he said "Blimey Kalos not a lot left on top ,do want it cut round back? No I replied "I'll stay here in where its warm like everyone else ."😉 I've even tried to have my car valued online ..they were more bothered about how much fuel was in the tank ! I just don't get the fuss as it still costs twenty quid for £20 worth of fuel Lets keep smiling and remember .. If you wake up feeling down ,my advice is check the duvet as it could have split open !😊

You have done well getting your energy fixed for 3 years , ours was only offering that I pay double what we are now for 12 months which I declined . Recent gas and electric bills were averaging out at less than £2 per day for us so if it were to double ,it would not be the end of the world for us but I do feel for those less fortunate than us .

Mrs k had a doctors practice back in 2018 that's around 1.5 miles away and I thought they were shocking ,she always had to wait around 2 week to get an appointment . Once I recall calling to get a prescription on her behalf . I waited five minutes for two receptionists who were chatting and giggling before being asked to step forward . Once I told them what I had came for they said they will sort it in a while .Ten minutes passed and I was called back to be given the prescription that was sat in front of her all the time. Mrs K told me the doctors were not much better either. I managed to convince her to join my doctors that are 2 miles away . My doctors 9 out of 10 times will see you the same day if you ring first thing or the day after if you ring later in the day. Strange how one practice in the same area is run so differently .

It's a cool one this morning 6.c , not had to put the house heating on though . Tomorrow is when the energy companies start messing about with the tariff's, so I've just took the readings and paid them online . Yesterday our car was one month off needing its MOT so got the garage to pick up and return . It passed no problems again ,no surprise as it's done less than 2k from last MOT. Next thing on my to do list is go and get our Covid booster jabs today . Mrs K is busy making up a pan of stew in the slow cooker for tonight ,something I am looking to later. Whatever you're all getting up to, have a good day 😊

Spot on Dave Watch any of the police TV programs and you will find plenty of people drink/drug driving ,without a licence or even insurance ,driving at high excess speed .Putting other people at risk of serious injury or even death . They do not give a dam about you or me .
