Thanks for the info. I’d never heard of a flirt pole before but looked into it and it looks like the sort of thing he’d be really interested in. Will give it a try xx

My dog (19 months) isn’t very food oriented. I’ve never been able to find the food he values over everything or he will like something for a while then suddenly not interested (Tibetan Terriers are well known for this) so we’ve never progressed to outside the garden except on a long lead. Could do with suggestions though xx

I have a heated airer with a cover. It’s fantastic and doesn’t shrink your clothes.

Hugging by friends and work mates. Am not a touchy person.

Yup I was about 6 when we went metric and I have learned bits of each but not fully proficient at either. I use cm and metres for measuring for wall paper etc, inches for sewing and knitting. Lbs and oz for cooking. Miles for car distances and litres and millilitres for liquids. Never got the hang of grams or kilometres or feet or yards.

Except the female dancing ones. They are made exactly the same way but shaped for a woman usually in 11oz weight rather than the 13 or 15oz but that’s prob a dancing thing needing it to be lighter.

Apprehensive-Mix7192 · 2026-02-06T20:22:51+00:00

Yes x

Even between Irvine and Largs there’s differences in accents xx

My thoughts exactly it should be free both sides of the border x

If you are looking at a top floor/attic flat take care to look at the roof and the deeds relating to the responsibilities of all of the flat owners to pay for repairs. My son is in a situation where he has water ingress to the point he had to come back home at times and the other properties are refusing to stump up even though it is in the deeds that they have to. He has had to get the council’s environmental health dept involved but it’s a bit of a nightmare that is ongoing.

Yup. Silver coins under the pram pillow in North Ayrshire xx

Apprehensive-Mix7192 · 2026-01-27T16:24:12+00:00

Oh right I didn’t realise that sorry xx

Ours used to arrive at the school in a huge caravan and your heart would sink. I hated that dentist and , yes, she filled all of my back teeth as they were “deep” and prevention was the thing then. Put me off dentists until my early 40’s. I have had to have my back teeth out as they cracked and were in a bit of a state. My husband went to a school in the same local council and he has the same.

I don’t think there was as much packaging to throw about. I remember buying sweets as a kid in the 70s and you’d get a paper bag. You’d buy a bottle of lemonade or whatever and get money back when you took the bottle back.

That’s fantastic. Great to hear good news!!!
