Will my husband be able to resist posting on the forum on Christmas Day?

Just think of those Wheelie Bins not being emptied over Christmas, the silence of the missing Collectors Lorry and the noise of hobnail boots, just the tap tap tap of the computer, perhaps it might lull you to sleep just this once.

I was interested in the Electric Chair it would certainly help me getting around, I phoned up to ask if it had been used latly he said it was not used for years, I said has it got a seat belt? He said No but its got two ankle straps and two wrist straps. and a heated Helmet. I had never heard of this modle So I am trying getting a lift there to see it, the place is in Wandsworth, he said go down the side of the school.

I'll give you a lift computedshorty!:)

Thank you dazie for your offer, but yesterday I had to take the Wheelie bin out to the footpath, I had the support of it over the solid ice to get it out there, but none to get bsck, I noticed the milkman had left six bottles of milk to get me over Christmas, I could only take three bottles at a time so I held those to my chest, then I went down with a bump on my back, I have dificulty in getting up any time but here I just could not get a grip esch time I tried my feet just slipped, the Bin men saw me and got me up, they said I looked like a tortiose on its back, I had to search for my glasses, I had cut the tips of two fingers, the milk had not broken open. I managed to get back to the house. I left it till later before going out to get the other milk and the bin back in, I noticed that where I had fallen had left a deiced patch so I must have been there some time. I had lost my cap so my bald head got really cold, I had an early night.

Did you not sprinkle some salt where you have to walk? I slipped on to my arse three times before this occured to me. If you do need a lift or some salt i am round the corner :)

Some/many of us will not have MS Publisher so cannot see your card.


It looks as if it may have contained a TIFF image. If so, can you post just the image file (.tif or whatever) without wrapping it up in a Publisher page?

It does help EDkiwi - thank you for that...I wouldn't know how! And Merry Christmas to you too. xx


Computedshorty - thank you for your lovely card...and a very happy Christmas to you too. Looking forward to more of your poetry and "fun and games" in the New Year. xx


In fact, while I'm here...Happy Christmas to everyone (I've no card though - sorry). xx


Oh, and special Merry Christmas wishes to Mark who created this Forum. xx

Umm - I am also a golf widow. That can't be fair. Although to be fair to the husband, he has been a complete star for the last 10 days since our 3rd baby (a boy, after 2 girls) was born and has become a full time housewife (with a bit of EDF in between times). We had a very rocky ride for a while and it all got quite scary.


I know this is not the place for sentimental comments but it's Christmas and I just want to say that I love him to bits and can't believe how well he has coped with everything that has been thrown him. (And I'll leave it to someone else to guess his identify!)


(and incidentally, it will be the baby, not the bin men, waking me up from now on!).

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
