So, who wants to help ... to cower in the cellar?

It’s official: I’m a moron.

Searched all the drawers in the bathroom, plus various random cupboards, in a quest for a tube of guck that was in plain view on the bedside table.

This has not helped with the Rage, but at least my foot is now less hurty.

I know what you mean, Fishy

The thing is, I could go to the Orsepiddle & have 1 of the tests done, but that could be abit ‘open-ended’ onna Monday afternoon . Tomorrow morning for all 3 tests will be ok

My surgery do make every effort if they know that something is urgent

Oh, Gus. I’d say I feel your pain, but I don’t want the hurty foot bit.

Having been to Asda, I have been reminded as to why I don’t.

Our Asda is a tiny foodstore, which used to be Presto, & then Netto

The bread is good, as are some of the offers & the staff are lovely, but you need to be feeling strong to tackle it

The Asda ‘Homestore’ is in a retail park near the town centre, & is soulless, to say the least

I found it difficult to find stuff (didn’t find the red chillies, despite Effort) and just ended up bumbling up and down the same aisles like a dolt. Sit on your hands please, Gus.

Thinking of where our foodstore is situated, I don’t think that there’s much call for red chillies…

Soya & Almond milk’s available though , & square crumpets

What I do like about Asda is that the staff are friendly & helpful.The whole company supports better understanding of, & support for people with Autism, which has to be an Good Thing

Notatall, Soo

It’s a bit ‘rough & ready’, but honest

The store is prolly 200 metres from1 of the biggest Tescos in the country , which absolutely sucks the life out of you as soon as you enter. You could easily do 5,000 steps shopping there, & be found dead , days later, behind the soft furnishings… :wink::rofl:

B&Q does that to me, Carinthia. I just have to see that ruddy signage and I wilt.

I have little choice - Lidl for basics and the MAOD with a top up from Tesco

Dunnes is expensive even if there is a better range of stuff

I come over a bit peculiar in Wickes

There are, apparently, 104,000 people in Chesterfield, Twellsy so we do have plenty of choice, although no Waitrose nearby

The Co-op is usually more expensive, although good quality, & their yellow-stickered stuff can be a bargain

I was born in Rochdale, & can still remember my mother’s Divi - number… :wink:

I very much liked Homebase - ours is no more. No glittery toilet seat fer yer bee.

It’s amzing how things stick (some things, thatizz). I can remember all of the registration numbers of Mam’s cars, starting with 945 PTN and, through five cars, finishing with *EBB 246K.

*ETA - That should be LCU 190P

Our first family car was a rounded-shaped golden sand Humber Hawk KRD 627 and second car was a squarer-shaped two-tone-blue Humber Hawk YCR 220.

Our first family car was an Austin Mini. It was much loved. The second was a Riley Elf (two-tone and very smart). We felt quite superior to those people who had Wolsey Hornets, until Mam told us off for snobbishness. Those were the days, my friend.
