We are going to a wedding in three weeks and I couldn’t put it off any longer.  I had to go shopping for something to wear.  We trudged from shop to shop looking for a top.  I knew it wouldn’t be easy to find something that would be a bit dressy, summery and more importantly [...]

Well, you all know that Mo and I went to the hospital the other day.  Mo’s appointment was at the chest clinic.  When you enter the waiting area you are faced with large oxygen cylinders strategically place around the room, in case a patient needs help breathing.  It’s a CHEST clinic, so it’s not surprising.
What [...]

Mo and I would like to thank all of you that left such kind and caring comments on the last two posts. It means a great deal to us both.  Unfortunately we are still waiting for the results. I have never known results take this long and we are hoping that it’s a case of [...]

Victor Meldrew, Babs is off again.

This large box was delivered today and I wracked my brain (what little I have) to think of what we were expecting in the post.  Needless to say, I couldn’t think of anything that size.  “Ooh!” I thought “A lovely surprise, I love surprises.”  “Ooh” Sukie thought “A lovely big [...]

Mo and I have been following the X Factor (UK) this year again, as there are a few brilliant singers in the ‘over twenties’.  This week was Mariah Carey week, and she was present, and worked with all the singers.
There is just no understanding the way the public vote.  There is a chap who, although [...]

Penalty charge update
Having received that stupid Penalty Charge the other day, I emailed the appropriate department, stating what idiots they were querying it. This was their reply.
*The Penalty Charge Notice was issued because the Civil Enforcement Officer was unable to read the details on your Disabled Persons Blue Badge because it was not [...]

Mo went out today to buy a few bits an pieces and it turned out to be an expensive few bits and pieces.
She went to park the car in the parking bay and, as usual, some of the cars were badly parked.  People never give a thought for others. They park just where they want, [...]

You could be forgiven if you find this hard to believe – I do!. As Victor Meldrew would say, **I don’t believe it!**  For those of you who are not familiar with the British sit com ‘One Foot in the Grave’ check the link for a small clip of the catchphrase.
Just two days after the [...]
