^^^^^Mags is a 9 year old rescue Staffie.
The ring to attach leads and water bowl is right outside the door.
OH did say that he’d seen a lovely little Staffie but I took no notice.

Ho Hum!

I don't want to give the details but I did need to get that off my chest. Thanks.

I don’t mind walking, but I can’t carry more than one bag of shopping

I can recommend a shopping trolley. If it ever stops raining I'm off to get 18 can pack of cider and maybe 10kg rice. Will need to check weight first as I have to heft it onto bus. Unfortunately some of the moronic drivers here don't pull right into kerb. I don't think they'd appreciate me using wheelchair ramp!

Looks like the exhaust has finally gone on my car. Need the whole thing replacing.
And I need to replace the broken boot lid strut and have a warning light for my breaks checking out
* sigh

That'll be after we get OH's car back next week from having a shredded belt replaced.
*double sigh

Firstly, customers dumping their stuff outside the charity shop when we are not open
Secondly, some kind person is going through these bags, taking what they want and leaving the rest all over the pavement

A bigger letter box is what you need.

my head is going to explode! It's so full of ideas and questions .
I know damn well that the ideas are all in the wrong order and I'm not asking the right questions .
Then the someone with all the answers doesn't turn up.

Just tried out the CH system as it's been turned off for months.
No heating

So that'll be 2cars to be repaired and now the CH .
*wonders what other unexpected expenses will need covering this month

If boiler fires up it may be that the pump has seized up due to sludge.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyK48asOLUY:/

My HW not working!

[self-contained]

I hadn't spoken to anyone since leaving work friday evening. I usually go the whole weekend without saying more than a "thank-you" to the check-out operator when I do my grocery shopping. Today, for some reason, the chappy in Aldi was trying to make small-talk (they are usually too focused on meeting their targets to say anything) and I just couldn't get my mouth to form proper responses. I couldn't summon anything beyond the monosyllabic.

He must have thought I was very rude

Bloody aphids

That is all.

Could be something as simple a stuck 3 way valve or sync motor depending on the system. Not all CH problems require a remortgage, not like car repairs - grumble.

When you check the rat traps and the bait is gone, the traps not sprung and there's mouse poo all over it.
