Me and son arrived very early for the course tour around Leeds Uni....so we had breakfast at Morrisons first

.....it cost about £5 for both of us and he had the biggest breakfast on the menu.....bargain

We dont have a Morrisons near us, only Sainsburys and Waitrose...Tesco is the next nearest, but then again, who is not near a Tesco

Jax

I hope you can managed to go to Morrisons --- I have heard ( from all my family) that they "do" the best breakfast for a couple of quid or so

So Jax -- det sorted and you could be a lady that "" breakfasts" eh

I have a huge Morris@ns over the road that has just been built to replace the old smaller one. As it was so small I found it difficult getting round on my scooter and hate being pushed in a chair. As the weather is getting better maybe I will get out more often and be able to choose what I want to eat for a change.

When I lived with my sister 10 years ago she offered to take me out on her bike....but Nooooo it would have frightened the life out of me, as I know she would have gone fast on purpose. Pillion on a Honda 50 was bad enough :-D

I am sure this Kenwood was my mums 1st one which I remember her having it in the early 70s yes it has all the attachments that I know of not looked at it for years or ever used it myself...but did'nt like to say no when she offered it...will have to go and have a look one day. That was the only household item I took when I left the ex....well it was the only thing that was offered to be honest.

Driving is something we all take for granted, soz you cant manage it anymore Ja..x

You'll have to get your scooter, turbo charged :-)


As for bikes, I used to love em, pillion rider of course, with my fella(s) These days they would scare the pants orf me

........I also used to like skidding in the snow and ice :-(

Jax -- yes your 40 year old Kenwood is very well sought after ---- have you all the attachments ?

Sorry about the car insurance --- must be horrible for you -- it is bad enough not being able to do things - without other things being taken away ---

Shame we dont live closer --- I am here car less ( mine still in Spain) I could have treated your car to little trips to the Supermarkets --- or even the seaside :-D

I really gave up proper driving three years ago, meaning driving more than a mile or two.
I had thought about adaptions...left foot accelerator or hand controls, but as I cannot get to and from the car by myself it seemed pointless.

Oh well at least I have my scooter :-D

Found out yesterday that my sister who is nearly 43 has decided to take up riding a motorbike again :-( not something that has ever appealed to me...it is either a 500 or 750cc she has bought, at least this time she is not going to use it to travel to work in London

ja...x

Very sorry to hear that Jax. I certainly dread the day when I have to give up driving. I have always said that if God intended me to walk then he would have given me wheels rather than feet.

I have a 40 odd year old Kenwood sitting in the garage, is it worth something then?

Very sad day for me, after 31 years of always having my own car insurance, I have had to give it up. I recieved a medical form to renew my licence but there was not much point in filling it in as I knew I could'nt drive anymore, infact I hav'nt driven in nearly two years anyway.
Kept the car in my name so HID cannot take it with him, if he decides he has had enough :-D

Stay by the door Renes................don't want to miss those covers arriving!



Dea, I had to finish at the hospital a couple of weeks ago. There have been new arrangements with the parking facilities which aren't convenient to me etc..........


I used to have Pyrex dishes with a blue and green stripey pattern on. Most of my dishes are now clear ones but I do have a scarlet one because it matches my kitchen... :-D



(Do we have to curtsey to Persie now??) :-S

oo ee rr

"Your parcel is on the vehicle for delivery, due between 13:03 - 14:03"

I and others have broken that many pyrex dishes... I broke the lid off the slow cooker so then I found I could use this large pyrex pie dish until it broke. I threw out my acropal dinner plates except one.. it is the lid for the cooker... only problem is I have to get the thin spatula underneath the lid and manoeuvre it off without lid smashing on my bench.

However my grandmother's cast iron enamel (I think) coated casserole lives on forever. My father' s camp ovens are used as planters. I am surprised my mother never chucked them, she left all the silver behind in one house cause it was a beggar to keep clean.

Yes -

- wish I had kept all my 1st wedding presents -- they would be worth a fortune now

my sister 40odd year old Kenwood is much coveted by her soon to be 30 daughter - who lives in Cambridge ---

Also the original pyrex dishes --- the very very white ones - with red rose on --- are being sought everywhere --

They should look in my cupboard I have several - with lids

Best designed kitchen item ever made ---bowl can go in any oven and micro, as lid --- which was always useful for pies

Thanks Dea <3


Going back to your youth then Renes ;-) Good luck with fitting the covers :-S

I have put your 1911 info on Bob's thread Ginns but I hope he goes back to look at it because he has the wrong wife for his Benjamin !!! :-0

Hop all is well with you all


I am just sitting around to day too

waiting for my new loose covers for sofa and chair to be delivered today !!----

sister had a suite made 5 or 6 years ago -- and she has changed to recliners and snuggle chairs -- so I inherited

We contacted the original makers and ordered new covers

I could have purchased new leather couches etc for much less on the high street but wanted retro really

Thank you for passing on that message from Estelle Persie - I suppose I will have to e-mail her later. I do think they miss the point though - It is not 'me' who has a problem using the site, it is the site which has the problem!! :-D :-|

Why is it you are not at the hospital again Cynthia - Is you still a bit poorly?
