  • Hats off to:

    1) the plumber who, although he took 3 wks to fit us in, has now fixed our leak and our CH.

    2) the same plumber who *forgot* to tighten a nut in the bedroom and made a paddling pool in the sitting room - but not only owned up, he fixed it quickly with grace and good humour

    3) the nice lady in my post office (only the one) who keeps cheerful despite endless queues of grumbling customers & Oaps who forget their Pins (the PO won't put on any more counter staff or even pay for a cleaner). We get extra postmen at Xmas, but not extra counter staff?

    4) My solicitor, who has settled my claim re: the bike crash in June. My back still hurts and my knee can tell the weather forecast, but I can now look forward to one of these, which I never dreamed I could afford

    Please, please let the good luck continue
    Merry Christmas everyone

              ... and to the butcher who made me laugh today.
              I went in for Mr S cos he's been a good boy today (I'm a veggie and the smell makes me gag)...

              anyway, I said "do you ever have rabbit?" (not knowing if they were in season or anything) and he says "what, wild ones?"

              It was only when I left the shop that I thought 'yes, of course wild ones'

                Glad you got your insurance claim sorted out Two Sheds. Enjoy your Green House - it will be some small compensation for what happened to you.

                Your butcher would have asked if it was wild rabbit you were looking for as some of what is available is farmed rabbit and it's as tasteless as battery chicken but wild rabbit is like free range chicken - good and tasty. Hope MR TS got some.

                From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.

                        Also nice to see that people are appreciated.
                        more of the same please.
