Mornin!
would you all mind sending a bit of that sunshine over ere?;)
Tis another "gorillas in the mist" day and it's drizzling.
:(:(:(
Market today, but have to wait in for some sossidges to be delivered.
We absolutely MUST get a number for our house, as Wifey orders stuff under her maiden name :rolleyes: and forgets to put our proper name on the delivery note. THAT is plastered all over the mailbox, for all to see.:rolleyes:
Have a nice day folks.
:):):)

Wifey is subtly trying to tell you something? ;)

Could just run a Union Jack up a flagpole somewhere I suppose!!
Or name the house "l'Albion Perfide", but we'd like to integrate a bit more than that!!!
Plus there is another couple of "rosbifs" further up the road, we wouldn't want to confuse poor old Chronoposties more than they already are!!
As it is, their time slot narrowed to an hour 9:45 to 10:45 and they came bang on 9:45. I had meanwhile written wifey's name in Laundry marker on an old envelope and spiked it on the gate, as well as updating the message to the "livreur" to reflect what is actually plastered all over the box.
They arrived, (It takes two to deliver sausages, maybe one was training) so they found us and I recognised the wee burd and she recognised me. So we were able to go off shopping only slightly later than usual.
So bangers, mash and peas tonight, a la gravy!!
Yum yum!:):):)

Nope, since her divorce from a absolute sh!te who always kept her short, to the point of missing meals to be able to feed the kids, she is very careful over her money. While still being enormously generous. I often have to tell her off for paying for things out of her own expense that should be a joint expense.;)
So this is part of the baggage that came along with her. Not a problem at all we are both very careful with money, me more than her really. (Some call it "tight".) But my dad taught me the recipe for financial happiness in a marriage, and it really works so neither party feels aggrieved or that they are being mistreated. I'll not bore you with it as I think i have posted it up before. :):)
(Didn't stop my parents getting divorced mind, but that was over other stuff. And when my ex and I got divorced we were able to use our records to divvy up the funds exactly in the same way, so again, no hard feelings.) ;)
Maybe I should write it up for Mumsnet or summat!!!:D:D:D

My Dad always quoted Micawber from Dickens.... 'Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds nought and six, result misery. '

Afternoon folks:).

well not said much for a few days as not really done much;), it has been raining for most of it which has taken a toll on the enthusiasm bucket. Anyway back at it today and more wood up to form a ceiling, running low on wood but should have enough to get it to plasterboard stage. Also banged me bonce again:eek: in the same place, bald patch has taking a battering lately:rolleyes:.
It has been decided that then I will move to A N Other job so more of the stored wood for other jobs can be used up so we can regain the summer kitchen, for the summer:). Which is a great idea:D.
Just got to love working 3 jobs at the same time and juggling the weather:).

Mare of an afternoon with technology n gadgets. My mission was to get an NHS app onto me dog n bone so I can get a covid passport for travelling abroad. But first I had to get downloads from goggle which involved opening a goggle account which got frustrated as they kept sending secret codes which had to be accessed via emails n messages part way through so kept getting lost and I don't have an eight year old kid handy to sort it all out. So I abandoned that mission. But mysteriously my email account is now accessible on the dog so not all wasted time. But abandoned the idea of getting the app that way and went on me noo shiny apple mac to get it there. And that involved scanning my passport from the printer (NHS would not accept the scan as it was too faint). Using the alternative option of uploading a photo of my passport and recording a short vid of my mush and talking some numbers worked. But it takes at least another day for the NHS to check it all meets their requirements. So the lump hammer remains in the garage and phone n laptop are safe for now. :rolleyes:
 
NHS didn't open me online account :( because the photo I took of me passport wasn't good enough. So took one with me phone cam and emailed it to myself (now that the inter web works on me phone. And uploaded it to the NHS site via laptop. Then cocked up the video bit by accidentally disabling the laptop cam and sound recording :(. Finally figured out how to turn them back on and finished the application process. And it all worked, I am now officially loggable in to the NHS online service and should be able to get a covid passport :):):). Gonna have to do it all again with SWMBO, better hide anything that can be thrown :eek:
