But you got away with it ???

What can I say. I'm innocent I tell ya.

I think I remember reading about it in the Welsh Gazette..........a retired couple arguing about a lawn mower or something?

Good morning people, strange start to the day having the place to myself, I left the hospital just after eight last night, phoned our lad and had him to drop me off home, he's not far from the hospital, otherwise it would have taken an hour on the bus. They think my Good Lady has an ulcer thats bleeding, they're planning to investigate it today, I'll phone later and check she's OK.

Best of luck to both of you.

Spoken to the hospital this morning and she's OK, they're doing an investigation today.

Fingers crossed!

Lettuce. Tried buying a lettuce recently? Cannot be found anywhere.

Something else to add to the list, fortunately its not something I'm keen on or eat regularly.

Not keen either. I can cope with a leaf on a sandwich but that's about it. Be as well eating grass.

Try the mixed bags of spinach, rocket & watercress from Aldi or Lidl. They have a lot of flavour and are packed with goodness. I eat about 3 bags a week.

I was looking at wireless earbuds, thinking that I might buy some after my next pension payment comes along. I watched/read a few reviews and decided on some earbuds that I liked the look of. Then I noticed that one reviewer had a 25% off code if I bought it through his link, Fair enough, Buy It Now!

I went to order it and Amazon offered me a £7 off coupon if I used the local delivery locker. Super - I had planned to do that anyway. The locker has now been set to be my primary delivery destination.

I went to apply the 25% off code - rejected.

I tried to apply the £7 off code - rejected!

Hmmph... Oh well, I wanted the earbuds anyway - my phone doesn't have a headphone socket so I want these for when I am travelling. BUY!

And then I ended up back on the product page and noticed a £10 off promotion!

YIKES... I rushed back to my orders and managed to cancel the order before they took any money off me. I then redid the order and got my £10 off.

You wait - I will probably either end up paying twice for one set of earbuds, or get two sets of earbuds but only pay once, and then have to send the second set back!

I had the £7 offer rejected, I went back and selected the local locker as my delivery point before heading to the checkout and it knocked the seven quid off👍

Going to look at St Olaves priory this morning.

With a name like that he should be the Patron Saint of Bakers.

Well I'm in IKEA. I've paid for stuff but Mrs P and small person have disappeared! I have to say lunch was very good. Shrimp salad, salmon salad, 2 x Pepsi Max, 2 x Latte, 1 x child's menu. £9.70 and it was worth eating.

We came for one thing. We are leaving with eleven and spent 59% more than the one thing we needed cost!!! Brilliant business model. Suck 'em in. Hold upside down by ankles. Shake till pockets are empty. 🤣🤣

I will try again next time, but they might then turn me down on the grounds that I am now already using the locker so I don't need bribing to start doing that!

Thank you, good work by the ambulance crew and the doctors and nurses and the outcome should be good.

Glad to hear that Dave

I went over to a favourite garden centre dinner time, Hilltop, on the outskirts of the city, their plants are good, robust, and they've got a good cafe, I only went over for a spot of lunch but I came back with a little rock rose, something I planted last summer had never thrived and didn't come back after the winter, I saw the rock rose and thought that will go in the gap just nicely.

Best for Mrs D, dave r. H pylori and steroids are common causes, at least over here. Fairly easy to resolve.
Went to the Chiro yesterday as shovelling wet snow the other day was ill advised. The treatment takes 3 minutes but the nattering about health, bicycles and other BS took an hour. He is an avid cyclist and runner and I enjoy our chin wags.
I will have to see what the liberry has in Peter James. An author a bit off the beaten path named Dan Jenkins wrote a couple of books I've enjoyed...the Journeyer, about Marco Polo and Aztec about pre Spanish Aztecs. Both are a little raunchy but I am ok with that. They are hefty books that will take a while to wade through.
Be safe and well
