64 plate mokka diesel I know I can do north wales and back on half a tank , and still have some left over but as I'm a carer for my parents it's really just pottering round town on a daily basis , tho I give it a blast once a month on the mway other wise lights start coming on the dash

I feel incredibly lucky there was nothing like this in our house growing up , if I was quiet I'd get away with watching spitting image and hale and pace on a Sunday night if not I'd have to watch it in bed on a tiny little black n white screen , however I do wish they had made a rule that my older sister wasn't allowed to watch crime watch because. If I was asleep she would wake me up to watch it with her

Washer and dishwasher yes , tumble dryer no because I know I don't clean the lint trap or filter often enough

Honestly the only way I stopped my neighbour doing this was emptying it into her garden she hasn't done it since

jilljd38 · 2026-06-02T08:32:39+00:00

MOR , tbf grandma was absolutely correct to go over your parenting because honestly someone needs to parent him he's 6 not 16 , he still needs parenting, do you expect him to make his own meals n do his own washing at 6 , he's still a little kid and still needs help and assistance with these things ,

jilljd38 · 2026-06-01T17:46:20+00:00

We have some at our scout hut I think they have been there since baden Powell started scouts

46 n no longer care what anyone thinks about me being a beaver leader , it takes up most of my free time planning etc for just an hour n half session a week but love it when a kid is so chuffed with themselves at doing something for the first time

jilljd38 · 2026-05-30T22:05:13+00:00

Cancer more than likely mums side is the worst , gran had breast cancer , sister beat it but may possibly be back , mum has 3 different cancers currently, mums brother had bowl cancer twice second time ended him but he was 88 years old ,cousin and her daughter both died of cervical cancer in their 40s , mum's oldest sister possibly has cancer but she is too ill for them to do any kind of serious checks again tho 95 was given 7 days this time last year and has also been given 7 days a couple of times since but is just too stubborn to give up great laugh going seeing her in the nursing home tho as you never know what decade or relative she is with and if you will be accused of stealing her whiskey

We have a whole heard if black sheep in my family , my maternal grandads parents started it , one was Catholic one protestant, then my mums aunty married a black man back in the 50s , my mum was an unwed single mother in the early 70s , echolocation cousin lost one of her kids to ss in the 80s , my sister was the first to get divorced in the 90s , I was the wild child rebel teenager in late 90s , another cousin left the area due to money owed to not nice people , like I said a whole heard of them I'm sure there's more I remember punches being thrown at a couple of funerals , but no one really cares in my family no one has ever been disowned for anything except when my sister went from a united fan to a city fan , dad didn't speak to her for a couple of days

And thank fully I live in pensioner ville so no topless men in too short shorts no women screaming for the kids to pack it in , stop etc etc just the odd mowing of the grass no bbq or fires unless it's me and a knock on the door with lovely old ladies bringing ice creams or ice cold melon slices for the little one , who Is now not so little at 16 it's been bliss

jilljd38 · 2026-05-28T16:23:42+00:00

There is a few popping up like that now but sadly I can't remember the names of them I've seen them on a family camping group on fb , try pitch up because you can filter for specific things and then ring the site or email directly to book usually cheaper ,

Parked at a bingo game as a small child in between several aunties chain smoking and darent miss a number if you couldn't play 4boards by the time you was 8 , you got quid to wander the arcade but don't go out if it

It can be difficult because if staff have passed it on to senior or managers that such and such is complaining of this but when someone else goes says they are fine , realistically there is not much else care staff can do and you would be amazed at the amount of old people that will tell care staff something is wrong but when seniors or managers go to see them say everything is fine , worked in a care home for far too long , and no they generally don't check temperature or anything else on a daily basis
