I have a second mug of coffee, and I have my.electric throw. It's lovely, the Best thing EVER.

Ooh, I actually wrote " Total W@nker And Thick* " but the forum software changed it to " Self Gratification Artist " . That suggests a game of " what can we slip past the autocensor " 🤔
* without the asterisk

I had to type twat 4 times as 'it' kept changing it to 'thats'.

They are selling them as a special in Lidl this week. I'm sure they are a good thing but I can't see myself wrapped up in one.

I couldn't either, but to be honest I don't know what I would do without it now

.......and on that happy note. Good morning. Cow'd.........as my Lancashire born and bred granddaughter says. For me it's cold!!

We have had porridge for breakfast. This necessitated playing Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I was Daddy bear. #1SP alternated between Mummy and Baby bear. Baby bear said Daddy Bear should speak bear..........grrrrr, rrrrrroaaarr,

Who played the part of Goldilocks?

Me neither

I tend to "run hot" so a simple blanket is all I generally need
SWMBO like the heating on all day at the first sign of cool weather anyway
so heated blankets are just not needed

Does it have a sign on the front saying KEEP OUT.

Our Smart meter is dumb - can't receive a signal (neighbours are the same). Piece of crud.

If you have to have a smart meter installed - possibly because the old one is broken
I think you can ask for it to be installed in "dumb" mode
i.e. not able to transmit data to the central systems

personally I like them - but I can see why some people don't

Twat’s annoying!
Nearly as annoying as me just going round to the Co-op for a few things, mainly bin liners for the kitchen bin and that’s what I came back without of course.

Salut.
I intended to go for my last ride of 2025 this afternoon as the weather is nice but Mrs G wants to go to a garden nursery as she has a £75 voucher burning a hole in her handbag so guess what we will be doing then?
