    Denim jackets in general

    I've had the same dilemmas with denim jackets. For years I had a lightweight stretchy denim jacket which wasn't too short but wasn't too long, was great over dresses in summer and to wear on the more pleasant of spring days. Asda George I think it was, and I paid very little for it, but after...

    Favourite TV programmes

    Paranormal stuff is on par with fantasy fiction as far as I'm concerned, when I'm flicking channels I tend to stop on music documentaries, or true murder cases. When I'm planning an evening of televisual entertainment if there's nothing that appeals to me on the main 5 channels then I consider...

    My poor friend!

    Well I have an update on the first woman I mentioned. Divorce proceedings are on and should be through by August. He is still living in the matrimonial home but once the sale goes through he's on his own! She is still staying with her daughter and son in law until the proceeds from the sale of...

    Alternative uses for shopping mistakes

    Thinking about dodgy shopping/channel products I have a vague recollection of me buying one of those "magic" pasta cookers. All you had to do is place raw spaghetti/pasta into this plastic container, cover it with boiling water, put the lid on, go sit down for 10 minutes and return to a...

    Alternative uses for shopping mistakes

    That was a while ago now as you need a lot more energy than I have these days to look after them, but they are gorgeous pets and I've had quite a few over the years, white ones, black ones, black and white ones...yes they play together and if you handle them right they enjoy being handled, will...

    I've been doing an Agatha Christie

    Is this wrong of me? but the more I think about this situation the more angry I'm getting. Obviously the main reason for this is that my colleague is blatantly being taken for a mug and could stand to lose a lot of money if she's not careful. Double standards and all that as older man/younger...

    Alternative uses for shopping mistakes

    Have you got a cat, or know anyone who could do with a cat bowl? I just remember when I tried to use it that what went in the freezer as a runny slop came out as a runny slop, and yes I think I had the same issue with the batteries dying as they had to remain on the unit in the freezer so it...

    Alternative uses for shopping mistakes

    I bought an absolutely useless battery operated ice cream maker which consisted of a double bowl that ended up as a feeding bowl for my mum's cat. An exercise bike that ended up being a clothes horse, a perfume that I ended up being used as a lavatory bowl spray, a "trapper" hat that got...

    I've been doing an Agatha Christie

    Thinking about what I’ve just said - of course any form of travel documents can be emailed to the recipient and one would have to be extra gullible not to realise this ,or act in the heat of the moment. So perhaps it’ll be a consolation gift such as an item of jewellery that’ll be “sent “...

    I've been doing an Agatha Christie

    The problem is, is getting them to believe it might not be all it seems to be - Despite how many people warn her, in this case I reckon she'll only wake up when the demands for money come in, and even then, it's quite possible that it won't be that blatant. Let's say the guy says "I'm so sorry...

    I've been doing an Agatha Christie

    Of course I will keep everybody posted about my work colleagues situation, the one thing I can say is that I'm glad she's actually talking about him so the more people she tells the more likely it'll be that she gets warned off. The crux will come in a couple of month's time when he is...

    I've been doing an Agatha Christie

    The big difference here is the word "met"...yes ok of course single older women can meet somebody who's main interest is to get into this country - but not always. Being in a "relationship" with someone you've never met in person, is a different kettle of fish. Funnily enough a friend of mine...

    I've been doing an Agatha Christie

    I tried to wobble the woman's head today but she was adamant he's for real. She said I spoke to him last night after his gig. I said "You actually spoke to him or did he message you?" , she said " I actually spoke to him" I said was it a video call or an audio call, she said it was audio as...
