Awww I am so sorry to hear about your diabetes diagnosis and that hubby had a heart attack, glad he is on the mend and that you got the right guidance to live with your condition. Did you see parkerman at Clacton on Sea? Hopefully you can go on more trips like that as you obviously had a fab time :DQuote:

Sorry to hear your husband had a heart attack and you've been diagnosed with diabetes. You've had a terrible run of bad luck. :(Quote:

Told the story of an evicted family who eventually had their children forcibly removed by the authorities. Viewing figures around 12 million. Caused absolute outrage with the public and questions for politicians. Too close to reality I guess.
Remember him in EE ,has some very interesting views about the show ,allegedly, :)
If i pass that way again i will do. Always good stuff on.
Thanks you all your kind words everyone
I used to love watching Mr Benn as a child, as I grew older Saturday mornings were spent watching Swap Shop, Tiswas, during the week there would be Grange Hill. I always looked forward to watching Top of the Pops on Thursdays. Oh what memories!!!
Oh I forgot to mention today ( 31st August) did some gardening, also went for a lovely walk in the local park. Got a job interview next week just hope I get it, so far I have had 14 job refusals since being made redundant last year.
Good luck! :)Quote:

Unfortunately right now it could happen to anyone as the job market is not secure and no job is safe. Wsh you all the best and i admire you for all your efforts.

Not Mr Benn theme, but the here comes Bod one is now stuck in my brain. :D
The nurse Nicked some of my blood today.... I used to give blood so needles arnt an issue, but the skill of the nurse doing it always impresses me. Any way I only have to wait over a month to find out the results as thats the earliest appointment I could get at my new surgery :ninja:... not their fault, I blame the tonkers who dont turn up for their appointments and dont get fined for it. They should be sent to the naughty seat.
Thinking of investing in the nuke bunker companies, can see a demand for them when Trump gets into power, oh that and wall making companies.
There may be some hope yet now some high ups in the Republican party have announced they'll be voting for Hillary. That's sending a very clear message to voters. Trump is unbalanced and even his own party is starting to acknowledge it.Quote:

Fingers crossed it is good news :thumbsup:
I was on telly tonight. ITV Anglia News, talking about our Summer Season at the West Cliff Theatre, Clacton - the longest running Summer Season in the whole of the UK. Started in 1894 and, apart from the War years has only missed two years in all that time.

If I wasn't agoraphobic Id ask for some free tickets Parkerman...great vid..
TV is weird thou, if I watch our local ITV news its atm being presented by a kid I used to baby sit!
Alas a cat here I named Geof is missing, her owner hasnt seen her in a while and last time I saw Geof was when the mad bird lady on the corner was throwing stones at her ... I think Im living in some weird colder sack of narnia here.
Erm can I ask why the Soapboard Ladies have not been asked to perform their Naked Dane routine???Quote:

It was just hugely comforting to see Aunt so cared for and now close for relatives to be able to visit her frequently.
A great day.

Darn solicitor is demanding £750, that makes a total of 3 grand so far, all to extend the land lease back to 125 years, its all a con.. thou it will cost a total of 10 grand by the end it does add 30 grand to the value of my property if I sell.
Refurbe is looking great, new galley kitchen is almost complete and the new windows are lush.
Still need to repair the front door from when upstairs tools had it kicked in my the firemen because "they thought I was dead" Id left for here but they didnt hear my telly for TWO days after never worrying about me for 5 years or even seeing me or speaking to me despite me posting a contact number thru there letter box a while back when they leaked water into my flat and never paid for the damage.
It cost me £200 initially from a locksmith company the firemen used to secure the flat after they kicked the door in, I didnt ask for any of it but paid as I didnt want to appear on wont pay well take it away.. plus it was nt the firemens fault that the people above are cretins.
Went looking for a new bed today, found one but thats £700 quid gone, the head board alone was £200.
I think I need to win the lotto. :cartman:
Maybe you should take a leaf from my book and buy "pre-loved" furniture from eBay and Gumtree. :DQuote:

I'm really pleased with my bargains! :thumbsup:
Oh I love the term "pre-loved"
Thou I dont have any hats to put on a stand :moonie:
Great advice thou, thank you Dazzle
I agree, it's so much more attractive than "second hand". :DQuote:

Ah well they both have bendy frames and the everyday ones auto tint, but for that price they should also clean the house and make nice cups of tea.
I always love going to the optician as they get all excited when they look in my eyes :angel: alas its because most have never seen Bests before, but for me there is nothing best abaut it. :thumbsdow

There our worse things than Bests out there for eyes, wet maculars would be the worst in my books, it will take your sight if not treated promptly mine just destroys my central vision slowly over years and years, but its just typical that my nice sis has it too but the evil one dosent.... on the positive none of the grand children have it so fingers crossed it ended here, especially now they hopefully can screen for it and treat with gene therapy.
Wow Im droning on again :D
