Achieved a long time ambition today, when I became the proud tenant of a cabinet in our local antiques centre, where I will be selling glass, ceramics, jewellery and assorted stuff. Been wanting to do this for years and years. I still don't know anywhere near as much as I would like to, but this is ...

Just had a package delivered by Yodel that was completely mashed at one end, despite being marked fragile. When I queried it with the driver, he pointed to the package and stated that it only contained plants. He was actually pointing to the sustainable cardboard logo (which is a tree) and is on mos...

2 huge house spiders (approx. 3" across) in the house in the last 4 days. FFS go next door, or anywhere else .... anywhere else

Sorry for your loss. Such a beautiful puddy tat !

Just tried an Iceland "cook from frozen" turkey breast joint, wrapped in bacon. Did not expect much for £2.50 but it was really good. Far more succulent and tasty than I expected. When I am back to working full Sundays again in the near future, this might be an easy back up dish.

Just got back from Wacken and TBH the bum bag issue was not an issue whatsoever. I acquired one and managed to fit everything I needed into it, with room to spare. A folded carrier bag carried within the bumbag allowed me to purchase merch and not get it soaked (although once filled, the bag could n...

I DON'T HAVE VAG CANCER! HALLELUJAH! great news ! WMMHT - car called in for recall due to potentially faulty air bag. Only got letter today, but car booked in for Monday with a full collection/drop off, complimentary service, wash and interior valet thrown in for free. Shame it goes to WOA next wee...

Wasp nest in external house wall. Got in through a loose piece of mortar. Acquired proprietary wasp nest killer and used it, but don't feel comfortable in any way, knowing they have technically built a nest in my house ! Just hope we got the Queen, so the rest will bugger off.

had a really dirty pizza last night. Donner meat, onion, sweetcorn and extra cheese. Gonna have to fruit detox all weekend.

Mothers of other half's can be strange creatures. Mine was fine for the first 18 months of our relationship, until she realised that I was not gonna encourage her precious son to cut his hair and wear a suit. Then she turned. She is the person in the wedding photos that everyone goes "who is th...

Froome demolishing the opposition today in the Tour de France. Must be a nutter to ride at up to 85kph during that descent.

after nearly 5 months of refusing to be bullied by Sky's inept "customer services teams", I finally received a written apology, the refund of a full year's line rental and 2 months lack of service refund, following a mis-sell. The call handlers I dealt with were absolutely shocking in resp...

Whilst it is good that democracy is alive and well, both my hubby and I are now genuinely concerned regarding our jobs (German owned company with only a relatively small uk operation and the financial market). I also wonder how, in future years, farmers will be able to persuade people within the UK ...

cheers for that Tet and I hope your Dad is doing well.

The news that Ian Paice of Deep Purple has had a TIA (mini-stroke). Although he is hoping to resume touring again in a month, we have lost way too many this year and the initial rumours of a major stroke was upsetting to say the least.
