Somehow I never seem to be able to find one of those plastic lids you put on opened cans that you need to put in the fridge. I don’t expect I’m alone here.
I’ve found an answer.  Most families have a tube of Pringles or similar from time to time.  Next time you finish a tube, keep [...]

First, an apology for the silence.  My ADSL link has been down.  Yes thanks, it’s back again now but the main phone is out!
Anyway, back to the point of today’s post.  Concerning the choice of ‘Super Nanny’ from Alaska who has been installed as the  running mate for the Republicans. Great I thought, what a woman!  Then I [...]

Lately the world has gone even crazier than usual.

Poland that has been invaded more than any other European Country because it is flat and slap bang in the middle of the continent so trouble comes from all sides.  So how are they [...]

That man is unbelievable!!!!
Doesn’t acknowledge Climate Change so he’ll leave it for the next administration.  Is he playing God?  While he is in power Climate Change doesn’t exist.  Somehow it will only be happening when the next administration takes power.
Now top  it off, Bush has given the go-ahead for more off-shore oil extraction.  He really [...]

Well now, most of us saw this coming.  Petrol up, bread doubled in price, milk up again. And we thought my husband’s pension rise of 3.5% was good!
