Afternoon all, I hope you have all had a good day, it’s been raining all day here so we didn’t go out anywhere, well apart from to put stuff in the dustbin, does that count as going out?

Morning all
I am awaiting a phone call this morning ,I went to the pharmacy for some eyedrops yesterday as my eyes are sore thinking it might be conjunctivitis ,they said as I had had this a while they could not give me anything .So I went next door to the opticians who have taken my details and I now await a telephone consultation which is a pain as I am supposed to be going out to get some food with froggy and the last items to post.
However I am enjoying being home on a Saturday .
Nice to see you EOS

I said this a while ago and it still makes me smile, son answered the phone caller asked to speak to Mr ...... son asked which one caller gave first name which was his, son said no you can’t he is dead, caller put the phone down.

Mmm, strange, but then I'm no techie. If I could get the internet without my phone, it would save me a fair amount of money every year!!

At least we haven't lost you for two weeks!!

We are not sure how YG but it is working or I would not be here now ;-) :-D :-D

Evening everyone :-)

Maz, I don't like scammers either. They are despicable and a waste of oxygen :-| :-| One in particular nearly gave me heart failure when they said I was going to be arrested, until I stopped to think for a few minutes and get my head straight. It was the most frightful automated message but is now a well known scam.

LG, I might be thick, but how you are getting the internet when your phone line is down?

Evening Elizabeth. No major shortages here, in fact toilet rolls are on offer at the moment!!

I hope you and your family are keeping well and safe.

Have a lovely weekend :-) <3 :

ZZzzz, I had a good run of not having to put petrol in during the first lockdown! I haven't done as well this time, but that's because I am in a bubble with my son and family, so can visit them to do my exercising 3 times a week. I normally fill up once a month at the moment.

I didn’t do the shopping nor put petrol in the car because I haven’t got the new pin yet :-( I hope those that scammed or hacked or whatever you want to call it my card have their big toes fall off. :-D

Another week of people trying to push and shove to get their toilet rolls!

No the internet and TV are ok but he said new cable will improve those too. Yes we both have mobiles so no problems there

Mazfromnorf Report 13 Nov 2020 18:36

it will be peaceful but I guess you will have your mobiles to use so do you have the internet okay or is it still dodgy ?

Evening Maz, the phone engineer has just left and told us we have to have a new cable put in through the back garden. Very handy as it runs under where I need some jasmine roots dug up :-D :-D :-D. We are without the landline for another two weeks when they come out to dig up. Bliss it will be peaceful ;-) :-D :-D
