    I've just been to my local B&Q store.

    "Where are all your tools? I asked.

    "Over there" replied the assistant pointing to a group of people in orange and black aprons.

    The family of Lord Lucan, the British peer who disappeared without trace 40 years ago have revealed they have just received a message from him after all this time.

    It read : "Did I remember to cancel the milk and turn the gas off?"

    I don't feel safe in this pub - I'm worried about who its clientele tend to be.

    I mean, I've never seen anyone use syringes as darts before.

    Condoms aren't completely safe. A friend of mine was wearing one and got hit by a bus.

    The inventor of predictive text has died.

    His funfair will be hello on Sundial.

    Did you know that most bank robbers are actually inspirational, motivational speakers?


    Why else would they always say, "Reach for the sky."

    A policeman knocked on my door this morning.

    "You've been accused by your neighbour of taking some raw potatoes, onions and pepper from her garden," he said. "What can you make out of it?"

    "A potato soup," I replied, "Do you want some?"

    A dentist's patients are being checked over after his poor practice was revealed by a whistleblower.

    Well, not a whistleblower as such, a pensioner with very badly fitted dentures.

    Police hunting for a tiger near Paris have roped off a woodland.

    Because tigers are famously confused by barriers made from a length of rope.

    Good morning Abbers & happy Friday

    Just below freezing here with a light dusting of snow on the ground! I hope the girls aren't freezing their tail feathers off out there, LOL

    Mick, I do have a lot of gift shopping to do & it will all be done from the comfort of my sofa & laptop with a big cup of coffee in hand
    There is no where to shop around here so Amazon has been a life saver for me! Nice pics! I have no idea what's up with the sizing on them these days.
    No weekend plans so far, we shall see what develops.

    Greetings SF, I hope you feel better soon. Good luck with your son's testing today (you shouldn't have to go thru all that) but it is what it is.

    SL, hope your day is better today

    Greetings Sam! Any snow down in your neck of the woods? Nice that your green house is done!

    Hi there PQ, hope you are staying warm!

    Greetings Pauly, Det & anyone dropping by today.
    I'm off for some exercise then need to exercise my vacuum around this house ~ the dog hair is getting out of control!
    Have a great AF Friday one & all!

        morning all
        nice crisp sunny day, tomorrow's market will be interesting.. going to be a chilly start, wonder if anybody will show up.

        Mick, I'll PM you about pic upload but you are probably doing the same thing, just a glich somewhere down the line.

        Lav, looking like some stuff moving in Sunday. Same for you?

        Off and running...
        be well

          Morning all its Saturday here and I should be starting that thread but just a pop in to say hello. Been up early with my daughter puking - probably something she ate. Hope it clears quickly as she has exams next week and needs to revise. She is sleeping in my bed at the moment.
          Renovations are hardly ever quick - even if paying a professional. Madam here has curtains to hang (they need shortening first) but just haven't had time. Don't want to do a botched job in a hurry. I have to work again this weekend but can do it at home. Reports and documents to deal with.
          You all have a great Friday and I will try to pop in later and say a few words.

            Hi all - equilibrium seems to be back, and I was signing to Pharrells Happy this morning - yikes!:eek-new:
            Just had knock at door (working from home today) and Mum sent me bunch of flowers - tears again! (they didn't like him - turns out they were right - dang parents!).

            Sam - loved your fall colour photos - and Mick, yours are pretty too. I need to learn how to up-load photos - Sam, send me the info too please??

            Lav - been thinking of you lots. We deal with suicide in my work and know how devastating it can be, I am also hoping YB is able to handle this as he has had a long road too...

            TT - sorry about your girl, and at the weekend too, at least she won't have to make up classes.

            Pauly - hope you get some good luck soon, seems that there is always something!

            Det - well done with the rental, hope the moving is relatively painless.

            PPQ - you are sounding good and upbeat. Are you visiting your dad this weekend?

            SF - the testing is a pain, but we do seem to be on a better track now that we got all our testing done. Made no difference to the school, but I am getting our own help now.

            As to running - I had signed up for an 8 week training and that is over now, and I have not run since - a couple of us are trying to get back together, I need help with motivation. Looks as if I will be out at 7am tomorrow (now I am regretting it - it will be cold (Ca cold!!) and dark!)
            TGIF all :hug:

                Pauly -no these are different drapes to the ones you refer to. I'm not that slack! We have a lot of windows - but fortunately the ones that I still have to hang look out onto the garden (weeds!) and bush - so its only birds and the cat that can peek in. And the occasional possum. Weather is crazy today - sun/rain/sun/rain - but hey at least no snow!

                      Mick - we call that style 'Early Ghetto' where I come from, LOL
                      Been there & done it many, many times. Plaster dust goes right up the nose & invades your sinuses too.
                      You'll love it when it's all siad & done

                      Sam - I have no idea what you are talking about on Sunday......
                      Have a good arket day & dress warm - Brrrr!!!

                      Hi there Pauly, TT, & SL.

                        I'll take a serving of curry please! (note no comment about the kitchen - just the curry!).
                        My kitchen really badly needs a remodel - the house I am renting to buy was a "flip" and they just painted over the old horrid cabinets - the paint is still sticky almost 3 years later, and I just found out that the handles are pained on as they are not the right size for the cupboards, so they are starting to fall off. They also painted over the seals for the windows so that is delightful (they also painted over the chewing gum that is under the top set of cabinets ) - where I am leading with this is that I am watching your work with interest to see if I will have you come out to do my kitchen after you finish this trail run!!! and cooking curry for us whilst you are doing the remodel - might just be perfect!

                          MAE ALL...

                          Quick check in as it's been a long day and I'm finally home to get horizontal.
                          Christmas Craft Sale started today so it ended up being a 12 hour day.
                          It's on again tomorrow so will miss my visit with Dad.
                          I'm basically their to babysit the vendors so will be able to log on and reply to some of these posts.
                          Had a quick read and I must say everyone sounds like things are going ok.

                          Looking forward to my sleep tonight. Hope everyone has a peaceful evening.....:smile:PPQP
