what did they ask for in return? or what was it reciprocal for? my Boss & I have a routine for Christmas where he gives me a bottle & I give him a bottle

They ask nothing.

They ask nothing.

lol so a random group of ppl gave you multiple bottles of wine & asked for nothing in return? the suspense is killing me. sounds great but there must be something more to it, no?

starting to feel my Boosta work it's magic ... a little wobbly & queezy at my desk. drinking water & walking around helps. heading to the gym at lunchtime. it will be a light day, especially for the arms

gym was OK but coming on 24 hrs from the jab, the magic feels stronger. looking forward to going home & getting under covers soon

I'm on that thingie.
When I joined I got 15 pages a month for free, but unused pages don't roll over. I think that deal has ended for new accounts, and they now charge 99p a month for 15 pages, but unused pages DO roll over.
I've only gone over the limit once, and had to pay £1 for the extra printing.
I've had one set of replacement cartridges, completely free. Not sure how they make money out of this, but I'm not complaining.

I had similar, but it ordered when the ink ran out. I had two more sets ordered the first night I used it.

T'weren't free when I joined, a one off fee for a years ink supply.

did I share this already? got to work this morning & saw this

loaned the umbrella to my Daughter for her weekend away. she gave it back, put it here, but didn't tell me. I drove a little less than an hour to work, 40mph for most of it, on suburban roads then about 5 miles on the highway at 70mph. oops & I was worried about the pickup truck on the highway w/ the ladder 1/2 in the bed & 1/2 on the roof ...

I am a building manager in a retirement complex. Some people are actually kind in this day and age believe it or not.

A very satisfying supper of Spanish-style squid stew (slow cooked with tomatoes, chorizo, onions, butter beans and garlic) and steamed rice on the side.

Madam Lexi likes raw squid. She almost had my fingers off!

As I live in what counts as sheltered housing, I just gave 2 beers to the guy who replaced my flooring. I'm clearly on the way....

(Nothing to the site foreman though, without whom I wouldn't have needed a new floor. However, he was very keen to tell me how much paperwork getting the job done entailed. I was equally keen not to tell him that I created much of that paperwork just to get the job done finally.)

 

[Reynard]

Considering the amount of food you put away, I'm astonished.

I am, umm, blessed, with the typical figure for a lady with Germanic heritage. The rest of me is, how shall I put it, considerably more wobbly.

Wouldn't it have been easier if you'd replaced the missing screw?

The missing screw was a minor error that only the clerk of works would have spotted. The drilling into a water main pipe about 5 months ago was a major feck up that they've only just got round to sorting, after promising to sort before, slyly, asking me to sort for them. So I gave them extra paperwork and the job to sort. I think the ''Resident Liaison Officer'' knew that asking me to source flooring people to do a job her company had made necessary would have been a sackable offence. It's the very opposite of her job.

Is she still in that job now, or have you more paperwork planned for them.

No, I'm not being vindictive over this, just making sure they don't wriggle out of the mess they've created.

You surprise me, I would have thought that with the amount of time you spend hauling logs and wielding a chain saw you'd be fit and toned.
