We waste so much water in the loo.

Some hotels in the Middle East try to save water by sticking this little ditty on the bathroom wall .

Preserve water 

If it's yellow 
Let it mellow 
If it's brown 
Flush it down 

😇

Prints are sensitive at the drop of a hat they don't want to play .

This is exceptional .
Andrew Harper died a horrible death he was only 28 just six weeks married ,all life ahead of him .
And those POS s who killed him sniggered and mocked the court as they were convicted .
They have shown not the least bit of remorse .
It woul be preferable if they never saw the light of day again but failing this it's an absolutely travesty of justice that they get away with a few paltry years for such a heinous crime .
Justice must not just be done it must be seen to be done .

Signed

The Petition has now reached 803,000 signatures we must not let these killers be released early .
It's the ultimate betrayal 
They should serve every minute .
If you just do one thing this weekend please sign this petition .

I have no problems with jotting paper. None of my family have a printer because they don't need one. The reason they don't need one is because they know I still have one. I don't remember when I last needed to print anything for myself. When I do print something for one or other of them there is a good chance that the nozzles will be at least a bit blocked so that's paper from the failed print, paper from the cleaning routine and more from the check page before printing again.

I do have a reporter notebook too but it's a cold old day in hell before I work my way down to that.




Seeing that I recall I also use any decent sized packing slips, begging letters from the BBC etc.

It was a comment on the local NextDoor. One like no comments it just went whizzing over their heads.

I clipped Mungos rear end yesterday he has so much hair you can't see but he get dreadful matts and doesn't like being groomed on his ' breeches ' so I clip and also cut out the matts
