General Chat

No, but I still set the alarm...funny that!!!

Do you always remember to bring your own bags when shopping?

I always do when I go to the supermarket.

Do you have a neighbourhood watch scheme in your location.?

Yes we do,,,,and a very reliable curtain twitcher two doors away.

does anyone in your family wear a uniform for work?

My hubbys cousin [15 yrs younger than him] is a part time fireman, looking for a full time job as one.
My cousin , 20yrs older than me is a retired nurse... does that count ..? lol..

Do you have a dog warden in your area...? [impounds loose dogs, checks on fouling etc]]

that counts Sandie

Dog wardens come under the local council, you dont ever see them patrolling the streets etc....do they sit in an office somewhere waiting for a phone call..lol

how far away is your dentist?

Mine and the children's [21 and 23] is about 3 miles, hubby's is 2.

If you needed spectacles , would you consider laser eye surgery.
[sorry can't put in a question mark, shift key playing up]

I wear contact lenses outside and use glasses indoors...I have considered surgery but am not brave enough...My son wants it done, he was advised to wait until he is 25.

do you know anybody who has had it done?

Yes, a stylist at my hairdressers, She's in her late 30's ,says it's brilliant.
I thought about it but although am not frightened of surgery or pain, i am not confident enough to have it done in case something went wrong. One's sight is so precious. I wear contacts for holidays and when it suits me.lol.
Son and dau wear contacts, son 20[ not 21 as I put before.lol] wants laser treatment...he's only just this last 2 months started wearing contacts and has never worn glasses.

Does your local hospital charge for car parking and do they have a parking problem,i;e not enough spaces.

The answer is yes to both questions...When I worked there I used to have a parking permit.

Does your Son Still work in Asda's...in between college/Uni?

Good memory.lol .Yes he does, and is enjoying it, we [ he and I ] now have a card for 10 percent discount on most purchases, so I don't do Te**o's much now.

How is your leg improving .

I remember because my daughter also works there between Uni, She was only given one discount card which she gave to me...like you, I hardly use Texxo's anymore.

Although I am back at work (after 7 months off) I am still not back to 100%...I still can't crouch all the way down or walk up and down stairs properly.....I walk up/down the stairs like a woman in her 90's..lol....The Orthapaedic Surgeon said that it is quite usual for a knee dislocation to take between 9-12 months for full recovery ...Mine will be 9 months on the 15th of this month...

What did you have for dinner this evening?

Normandy chicken with green beans & new potatoes

[this is a very good recipe with chicken breasts, calvidos, mushrooms, apples, chestnut mushrooms & creme fraiche]

Do you enjoy cooking?

Yes, but often it's rather like a cafe as son and dau have different tastes to hubby and myself.

Do you feed the birds in your garden ....?

No..it attracts cats...who then kill them and poo in my garden,...I hate cats!!

Do you like cats?

Not particularly, but I wouldn't hurt one.
I do hate them pooping in my garden and my neighbour has 6 !
lol...considering you hate cats.. you have an unusual board name !

Do you have post office within walking distance ..?

No, Have to drive!!

Do you use your Post office much?

I would never hurt a cat either...my name is after my friend's cat...could not think of another one at the time lol... to confusing to change now!!

Not a lot, but when I'm mailing abroad I make a point of buying my books of stamps there rather than the supermarket, every little bit of trade helps to keep them open.

Do you bank online.?

all the time......can't remember the last time I physically went into a bank.


did you hang out washing today?

Yes it's been a sunny windy day here , ideal for drying outdoors. (I wash most days )

Do you live in rural area ?

no, I've always lived in a bustling City/Town.
