Flints I have actually left the front door wide open one night. , I couldn’t believe it when I noticed it the next day. My back door is actually at the side of my house and I think I opened it for family coming in but they came in the side door. Just as well it’s such a quiet street, not many people wander in it. It’s better to keep it locked. Xx

Nigel, I will leave it.
Here’s what I do to get things off the top shelf, get my tongs move what I want and then catch it. Obviously tins etc, not china

If anyone knows what I’ve got for dinner, please tell me as I haven’t got a clue!
It’s beef and chicken - maybe left over Chinese? With roast potatoes!

Nigel I always take a photo of the sizes, especially if it was a suit. I made a mistake and put the wrong size down once, looked at the trouser size as I couldn’t find the jacket one. The guy that bought it was lovely, he told me my mistake, I gave him a refund instantly.
I even take a picture of the measuring tape measure as proof, as someone argued I measured it wrong.

Nigel lol, it looks good, I thought it was braised beef but if it’s Chinese, maybe Cantonese beef.

Debsie, I used to be 5’1” I was surprised when I got my height and weight done at one of my hospital appointments and she told me I’m only 5’. Where did it go to ?

Lizzy, that is a great idea. You are so full of bright ideas! I’m surprised I even thought of measuring it or where I could find a tape measure. Now that’s a silly comment - how many tapes would Mary have! I’m guessing at Beef in black bean sauce and sweet and sour chicken without the sauce? Either way - it’s lovely and used up three ancient things from the freezer!

Nigel I have to confess, it was my daughter who told me to do that, it saves people coming back asking about this size and how long is that.

I am over cautious where we live now, but when we lived in The Scottish Borders, we could leave our door open and go for walks in the mountains, with no worries. xx

It certainly is. The other day I was trying to put some new felt on the shed, but the stepladder sunk in the ground one side only, so I lost my balance, luckily I fell on wet grass, so I was okay, but I was on the phone to my sister, I had balanced the phone on the top of the shed and it was on loudspeaker, she heard me scream, and started shouting. When I got to the phone and calmed her down, she gave me orders to promise not to do it again. I agreed, and went in for some lunch, but after lunch, I went back out and finished it. I haven’t told her, but it looks okay now!

Flints, I’m impressed you tried that. I went up my ladder as my neighbour was on the roof of his garage as he had a leak after the storm and he thought my felt had lifted. same as you my ladder sunk but I couldn’t quite reach up, the bit I feel was solid, I couldn’t do anything. But thanks for reminding me about that as my husband has a cloth stuffed in the corner of the garage. I need to take it down. Home report guy coming on Monday morning.
Hope you are ok xxx
