That made me smile. Of course teenagers do mumble - it's part of the stage between child and man. But actors have no excuses. It really gets my goat! more…
My son went for a job in a call centre and my first thought was to pity anyone that had to understand his mumbling... understanding and supportive as ever....
I have two accounts - one with a card and only the money I need immediately in it and another, from which I move money to it via telephone or internet banking. It only takes 2 mins and the money is there instantly. If anything happened to my card - there would be no or very little money to take. I do it for budgeting reasons but it would stop any more…
Oh! The scamming devise is outside the machine then - I hadn't realised that! I thought the scammer was placed inside the machine somehow. Thanks for the tip. I'll take that precaution from now on. more…
Luckily my brother does not live with me. But he managed to muck up my TV before he left. He will grab the remotes and press buttons without looking at what he is doing. It took me ages to get the colour, brightness and such back to normal. At least I think it is back to normal - it never seems the same afterward.
Cover your hand when you type in the digits on an ATM. I usually just put my purse over the top of my hand so that if a scamming device was in place - they couldn't see my pin number. more…
my sister woke me up at 7am to watch 'the mighty boosh' with her, it was on at half 10 last night so we had to record it for her. and i hate it when atm machines are out of cash more…
Yes, that has happened to me too. The house I grew up in has long gone and the area has changed out of all recognition. The house which we referred to as 945 was just down from the cross roads. Now four lane traffic races through the area - gone from a once friendly village just outside of town to Spaghetti Junction. As you say - really sad. And th more…
No, thankfully I didn't q for long - a minute at the most. Mondays seem to be the days when long qs form - every old dear and every old gent hungry for their pittance of a pension. I don't use the PO for that. I go to the cash machine at the supermarket. It will be my own fault if the PO closes!
I know what you mean about things changing - I recently took one of my sons to see the house that I lived in with my parents when I was born, only to find that it had been demolished. Sad really. Still, I guess nothing lasts forever. more…
Sorry about the problem with your sofas. Did you have to take the window out first? I had visions of that happening too, but my front window is new. I didn't like the idea of the fitting being disturbed. It's never the same afterwards, is it?
Why are doorways in the UK so narrow anyway? It doesn't make sense. We should be like the Amer more…
I'm so glad your chair fitted through the door...I made the mistake once of buying two huge sofa's. We tried every which way and they wouldn't fit through the door - we ended up getting them in through the window! more…
