Ikea ??
No problem then. It should only take 3 weeks

Hey Mr NNs.
Have ever heard of Marriage's strong wholemeal flour ? Someone gave me a large bag of it yesterday.....I have never heard of it.

IKEA , always buy 2 of an item first one to practice on . Some years ago I bought 2 identical IKEA shelving units, first one #@£&*% , second assembled in minutes.

Morning all. Weather is not good here and the forecast is rubbish for the rest of the day .
Think the high point of my day is taking an old mattress to the tip and going on a hunt for diesel lol 😂

If I understand correctly its near the end of stingy waspy fecker season and they don't use the same place next year BUT from experience they will use the nearest hole/place to it.
After 3 seasons of paying the expert to kill them I ended up filling every likely hole I could see.....that did it.
Some other poor beggar now has the problem.

We had a nest or 3 really close to the house over the years. Setting fire to the nests does the trick.

I had one in the apex of my roof a couple of years ago and just directed the hose at it and washed it down. They took the hint and didn’t try and rebuild.

I don't think the roof will survive that approach.

Spent yesterday afternoon painting bedroom walls jasmine white and nearly contracted snow blindness., Its so very dark , wet and miserable this morning will have to have the light on to finish it. Have a bed arriving from Ikea this morning and hope its easy to assemble . Yes its time for the heating to go back on. Stay safe !

Just remember the first rule (for a man), do not read the instructions!

I've had a serious senior moment this morning, my good morning greeting ended up in Mundane News some how, so I'll now say good morning to all on here.

Could have been worse, you could have posted it in the Politics section and been accused of god knows what!

I'm back.

While some of you may think that I am a bit of a clot, and others consider me a stupid bleeder, my blood test revealed that I am actually a bit of both, but all of neither, which is just how it is supposed to be. Good!

I managed to get to the clinic in light drizzle, and back in heavy drizzle, which is not bad considering that heavy rain was forecast for when I was out. I am probably in for the rest of the day now unless there is enough of a break in the rain to be worth getting my bike out again.

What I want to know is this... Why am I more tired now than before I went to bed about 7 hours ago? I know that I haven't had enough sleep but since getting up I have only cycled 3 km, had a simple blood test, picked up a paper and done a quick shop. Oh, and solve a quick crossword and a cryptic crossword. I feel completely knackered now. I am going to have to have a doze for at least half an hour...

Salut tout le monde. It has been a busy night as my wife is suffering from gall stones and is in great pain. I was at the doctor's surgery at 2.30 am to pick up some pain killers for her from the out of hours doctor but they don't seem to work. Was back there at 8.30 this morning to book her an appointment to see her GP and now waiting for a phone call to see when she can go.
Just got the call while I was typing. A doctor will see her at 12.45. The only answer really is to have them removed but who knows how long is that going to take.

New one to me....."Marriage" I have a bad feeling about this

It is pretty. straight forward. You pay for the flour, you make the bread, then, the wife walks away with the loaf, and the bread maker (after you have cleaned it), leaving you with nothing

I suspect the NN may not find that particularly funny, given his history...!
