1998 a Hewlett Packard multi media with ( if I remember correctly) 333 mb’s… Slow as a steam train with a dial up connection at first we bought it because the children needed it for school.

I will admit I didnt think much of internet at the time it was so slow to load …

Snap… Im  really looking forward to it. We dont indulge that often.

Ive put on a jeans wash and done the weekly shop. The dogs have been for their second walk and Ive paid some bills..

Just having a peaceful moment now.

@SpinningJen my credit card is exactly as you mentioned. The added bonus of a credit card is the  buyer protection it offers often paying by debit is akin to paying cash and there is no back up should the purchase fail to arrive or be damaged. With a credit card there is an insurence.

But I am very strict about how and when I use mine and…[Read more]

I remember when my husband tricked me and bought a huge flat screen TV ( it was horrible about the size of a door) a neighbour I had popped in and said ‘oh I would never buy a tv like that because you cant hide it.. because you know if the bailiffs cant see it thay can take it dont you’?

Having never had a bailiff at my door and having no…[Read more]

A friend of mine went to Indonesia to work with people there in an education program when she came back she said how much she had loved it. I mentioned that the poverty and deprivation would upset me too much.

This was her take on it. In the villages the people mostly have no TV or maybe just one in a communial shack,  however they all have a…[Read more]

Ive never seen BB or love island or any of those voyueristic shows. Watching people acting out just for the camera is not my idea of entertainment.

Teenage girls are nasty they were long before Trump and they will be long after. The only difference is as a leader he has set an example of how tou can bully and discriminate and get away with it if…[Read more]

Yep the forum was down …again,

yesterday we heard that our lockdown is likely to be prolonged for another 3 weeks because the infection rate isnt dropping. Hardly surprising given that I see people flouting the rules every day, spots types seem to be the worst joggin or cycling in groups all huffing and puffing.

Good news from mum though, shes…[Read more]

I have always loved Star Trek from the early original series right through to the latest offering called Picard which follows the story of Jean Luc after the Enterprise.

I must admit I wasn’t that keen on DS9 although it did have some good characters and the new series Enterprise is a little too political for my liking but Star Trek is and…[Read more]

Im not saying we should quell differences or individual strengths or weaknesses.

But when its shown that negative discrimination will occur even if there is no basis for it we need to adress the underlying motivations or  feeling that cause it. Some people may not even realise they do it..

It’s  like the idea fat people are lazy or very jolly, r…[Read more]

I like Lucy Worsley and if you like her it might be an idea to look up things like the Tudor farm with Ruth Goodman https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/9Ph0F7PtlDMthtvnG9F0wT/ruth-goodman

Older but also very fun to watch was Time team with Tony Robinson. A great insight into hisotry with lots of boys mucjing about in mud to keep little…[Read more]

Sending positive thoughts for a good outcome on your surgery and wishing you a speedy recovery..

Id still like to see the link but, there was a case last year of some people who were selling knights templar stuff. They got banned from a selling platform and they said it wasnt fair because they were not racist and they were not promoting the ideals of racism..

I checked them out. It was true they did not openly say anything or openly support…[Read more]

Have you any more info or a link to this story? I have a feeling there’s more to it than might have been said.

Yeah… the car passed without faults…

The car is in for the MOT… I hope it passes easily I think it will we are very up-to-date on maintenance.

I was shocked to see that we acutally drove more KM last year than in previous years this despite not be able to go to Germany as often as normal or go on holiday. I think its because we have been making sure that in order to avoid meeting…[Read more]

Well we had a delivery of meat for the dogs this morning so we have packed that away in the freezer and taken all the boxes to the recycling, the dogs have been out twice.

Ive hoovered and hung up so washing and now Im just waiting to hear if my car can be booked in for its MOT. This afternoon Im going to do the ironing, while I listen to…[Read more]

We havent had snow but its been a bit icy, many countries in Europe now require winter tires between Nov and March so I have them on my car and I must say it really does improve road holding in wet slippery or snowy conditions.

Ive taken down all my decorations and the house looks bare without them so next time I go shopping I shall treat myself…[Read more]

We are so lucky to have a flat roof space thats tiled and its there I have my washing line.. Its a space not used for anything else it faces south and gets unbearably hot. But for washing its perfect. I also have an attic room with a south facing window and in winter I often hang clothes over a horse up there and leave the window open they dry…[Read more]

I have always said never to gamble more than you can afford to loose. The lottery we play is  one which supports cahrities so there is never the huge 10 or 20 million jackpots. Its nice to think that while possibly winning a bit extra yourself there is also the knowledge that a good deal of the profits go to a good cause.
