The last (and only time) I was at M&D's was with a lassie I was seeing 20 years ago. I won a teddy on one of the stalls and she gave me a w**k in the car before we went home. That was nice of the teddy bear. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I was feeling ill yesterday, couldn't get heated up and coughing like blazes, really short of breath. (I would cough a lot anyway due to my COPD and also be breathless for the same reason.) Happed myself up with a couple of blankets and my temperature went through the roof. My youngest stepdaughter went mental, landed out with a thermometer - ours is broken/lost/hidden away in a safe place - and instructed her mother to take my temperature every hour. Also got the blankets taken off me and fed paracetemol every 4 hours. Temperature was soon back to normal - stepdaughter checked up every hour - and I was able to eat a light tea. Still not feeling great - I get days like that, I put it down to my COPD, after a few days I just improve on my own - and I've no breath, the slightest thing tires me out, but I don't feel as grim as yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you get better soon, as there is a stack of dishes in the kitchen waiting for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote for some reason 'knackers' also refers to testicles and somebody being 'knackered' meant being tired out particularly from sexual exertion. perhaps the two are linked and it was originally horses too exhausted to stud that were taken to the yard Gone yersel auld yin Edited April 24, 2020 by SlipperyP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I got a garden centre delivery yesterday despite never actually confirming the order and no payment being asked for. Today i got the phone call asking for payment. I paid, because i like the stuff and planted it up straight away. The problem is I've now ordered double, as i managed to get an order placed with a different company. Its due to be delivered next week and i just presumed it was that stuff arriving early yesterday. There's no paper copy to check orders these days. Has anyone heard of that happening elsewhere? Seems weird. The woman on the phone said they had brought in a new system and the orders were coming through despite not being paid for. I've sent them a wee email asking for discount vouchers due to having to order double. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Cutting a bread baton for an early lunch my wife exclaimed “You have five slices and I have four, but I have a bigger end than you”. I’m surprised by my own self constraint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
