Likewise. I don`t like being conned/done, so would not do that to anyone. A couple or so years back I found £10 on the edge of my property, crumpled up. It looked as if someone had dropped it stepping out of a car. I asked all the neighbours who parked there and no takers. I gave it a month and nobody came to own it. I gave it to charity.

Wife and I found a cheap wallet with £10 in it. It also had some phone numbers. I made a few calls and spoke to the mother and her son came round to collect it. It gave us a nice warm feeling.

Weigh them: small are 53gm or less, medium 53 - 63, large 63 - 73 and very large over 73.

I bought a pack of six mixed sizes in Lidl today for 99p, two were towards the top end of medium, the other 4 were large. Bargain I reckon!

Meant to pop this up earlier….the small egg here is 63g, large:

A quick good morning to all.
I was in bed early so have had maybe 6 hours kip. I cant just lie in bed, awake, so am up and contemplating my naval.

Good morning. It looks as though it will be a very fine day, a clear sky and not a breath of wind. At 03:46 I realised Mrs P was not in the bed, I tried to carry on sleeping and then heard the low sound from the TV. These days this is a worry; she could simply not be sleeping or in pain. No choice but to get up and investigate, Mrs P couldn't sleep which is a relief. A little later we swapped over, she has the bed and I'm awake! I'll head off to the couch shortly and see what happens.....................

I have been very productive. In the last hour I've purchased an electric pump, a pressure gauge (the one on my track pump is at best wildly inaccurate these days), a bell and two new bar bags - one of which will get returned when I've made a choice, a new bell............happy days. I really hope this bar bag works, I like the idea

Later this morning I'm meeting a u3a member to provide some IT assistance. I worry about some folk, they can be too trusting. I WhatsApped the chap asking "please check you know your Google account password" ....................a couple of hours later the response came back, yes and sent me his password. So sitting in my back room, I could access his email and any other Google related stuff, an email search would almost certainly reveal his bank name and potentially other financial stuff. A hacker could probably do all sorts from there...................................we know each other, he knows I'm trustworthy but handing over a password?????? Geez. In all seriousness is it any wonder people get scammed?
