This is not a joke. Some friends of ours couldn't conceive after test he was advised to use frozen peas on his scrotum. It worked, I don't know how long the application was or what happened to the peas.

Very funny both.

Great reply Redz3112 :-)

FORGIVE CAPS PMP.

No wonder so many people on here complain about not being able to withdraw their bonus if they think this is primarily a survey site! Can anything be done, Marie, to make it clearer to people that the surveys are just an extra you can do if you want but don't have to? It doesn't seem to be clear enough to many people.

This isn't a survey site, it's a free prize draw giveaway site funded by advertising. The bundle being promoted is from Gruum, a company whom we are affiliated with. It is just an offer which people can choose to sign up to or not.

I don't own any survey sites.

I don't want any German banks advertising on my survey sites.

(Bundesbank)

Which survey sites are you referring to? Are they in any way connected to Pick My Postcode? This isn’t a survey site, it’s a free lottery site. The adverts are funding the site. The surveys are voluntary and a means to build your Bonus prize in case you win.

It's the money paid by advertisers that fund the prizes. That's how it can be free for you to play.

No adverts - no cash prizes.

You are brilliant with them especially in the heat we've had. I'm also tired after reading this!

Good luck with the chaos this week, Beth!

I'm going for a liedown now ;-)

Having only ever had one dog at a time, with the occasional one staying for a while, it’s been rather a steep learning curve to suddenly have seven! Even just the two boys and Indi is enough to keep me on high alert most of the day, so having to re-introduce Poppy for the odd day, and now Ivy, is a whole new level. It’s finally settling down to ‘normal’ manic instead of hyper-manic, so we seem to have got over the worst. Only one sludge session so far today.

We had lunch around 1pm, then out on the lawn for them to play while I did some gardening, then we had a game of ball (five balls among four dogs is still not enough - they all want the one the other’s got) then a melon picnic under the apple tree. A bit more gardening (me weeding the path, them evicting the raised beds, me replacing the raised beds…) and we are now indoors having a time-out for me to recover.

I had forgotten how frantic it is to have dogs. Although I don't remember mine being so active.

Yes, daily to Thursday, they my friend goes in for skin cancer op Friday so I am keeping Ivy Fri-Sat nights so she can rest. Lots of sedatives in store (for Ivy), lots of gin for me! 🙂

Me too!

Blimey, I'm knackered just reading it !!

Well, I don't envy you. Did you say you had her all week?

Indeed, food for thought here :-)

FORGIVE CAPS PMP.

MOTHS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN OUR ECOSYSTEM.

ALL LIVING BEINGS ARE ENTITLED TO LIVE - THAT’S WHY THEY WERE CREATED BEFORE MAN.

WHY DO SOME THINK THEIR LIVES ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN OTHERS?

NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO DESTROY A LIFE.

THE BIBLE TELLS US WE HAVE DOMINION (RADAH) OVER THE ANIMALS, MEANING TO CARE FOR & PROTECT THEM.

HARM THEM & KARMA WILL FIND YOU.

CHOOSE TO LIVE BY DHARMA.

And mine. They catch the flies, and that means I don’t have to dust the cobwebs away. Anything that saves housework …

Spiders are welcome in my house too!

We never kill anything either. Spiders are welcome in our house. Just as well. We have occasionally had to kill ants but this year I discovered something that got rid of them. Equal parts of water and white vinegar in a spray bottle. The “recipe” said add garlic powder but we didn’t have that so I put a clove of garlic in it. When the ants appeared I sprayed around where I saw them a few times that day. They disappeared! A few days later I saw another one so I sprayed again. Haven’t seen one since. It stinks!! And the spray bottle will be permanently contaminated but no ants.

I've seen very few wasps this year. BTW we haven't had a cat for a while. A few years ago I heard of someone that couldn't persuede a moth tp leave by the window but didn't want to kill it. They tried to gently remove it with the vacuum cleaner. Rest in pieces little moth.

I must be lucky as I haven't seen a moth for ages - and yes my windows are open. Flies and wasps are common though and get sprayed as soon as I see them.

There are some pretty moths and they are good pollinators. I don't harm any creatures although my cats like to go out mothing and mousing.

Almost every insect in our house is rescued and returned to the great outdoors. As the insects were on the earth 480 million years ago, we feel they have more rights to be here than us. 😀

Our rather large moth was played with by my owner, Mr Tiggs the ginger cat aka The Great Moth Hunter.. and played with mercilessly… I rescued it finally and placed it in a safe spot outside but unfortunately too much playing with had taken its toll and I found it lifeless this morning. rip moth… the first one this year…

The moth that annoyed me a few nights ago looked like it had been chewed by a cat & spat back out but I still couldn't catch it to throw it outside.

No insect that enters my house leaves alive, which why the killer spray resides in three rooms of the flat.

I hate moths and can easily kill them without guilt. Had a very large one In the house last night fluttering about but couldn’t catch it so it’s still around somewhere. I don’t mind butterflies but they seem to flutter in a different way and don’t attack me.

Sweet.

Very good Kenny.

:-) :-)

Lucky you to get 5p those days are long gone for me🤣

I remember when 24 year old were older women then women in their early 40's were in their prime, 50 year olds started to look good. Now 24 year olds are somewhat childish but there are some great looking 70-80 year olds.

KENNY,

THOUGHT I’D CHIME IN, THAT JOB WON’T AP-PEAL TO EVERYONE.

I HOPE YOU’RE FIT, AS IT REALLY TAKES A TOLL ON YOUR ARMS!

JUST BE CAREFUL YOU DON’T TRIP & FALL IN THE FONT, YOU’LL END UP RINGING WET! 😉

I hope it works out for you and you don't drop a clanger.

very good Kenny b !!!!

P.S. It's okay. A good night's sleep and I get it now 'So near 'N yet so far'. That's not how I was pronouncing

Sonnya Nee-ett-sohvah.

😁

Sonia Nyetsovar did you say?

Wasn't she a Russian gymnast who kept getting Silver medals?

It could be you at any time!

😄

Make certain it is a pillow before you touch it. Check if it's ticking.

How did you come to that conclusion?

Salmon oil isn’t too expensive you get it in B&M 5 squirts in his dinner for my GSD. His coat is shiny enough to see your face in it. 😁

My dogs had a daily drink of tea, without sugar. That made their coats shine.

Sorry Nick, I didn’t win Euromillions this week. I’ll stick to sardines - don’t give the termites delusions of glamour!

I was told Salmon oil is really good for dogs, you can buy litres of it online, possibly Amazon. I forget where we got ours.

Sounds great fun!

A bit cooler here today - bit of a breeze but very sticky. Thunder around 1.30am but not sure if it rained or not. I bought a fan on Amazon on Wednesday, just delivered today - no remote included. Typical. I have emailed them to request it to be sent - I wouldn’t have deliberately paid extra for it, but it’s dear enough anyway, so I don’t feel inclined to just write it off. At least they are crashed in front of it - Storm absolutely loves the cool-mat and monopolises it, so I have ordered two more for the others.

Ivy arrives tomorrow morning on ‘day-release’ while my friend is working and her daughter on holiday. They came this afternoon so daughter could see Ivy was settled with the termites, as I could see her OCD and anxiety levels were getting to her. She was happy though after the boys had settled down - Ivy beat them up, mounted Shadow and tried to hump his head, which somewhat confused the poor boy - he looked a bit astonished but not unhappy about it! Storm started a bit protective, driving her away from Indi and Shad, so I put him on the lead for a while. He played nicely after that. All fairly normal for introducing young hooligans together!

Must be really hard keeping cool with a fur coat on. Feel sorry for our furry friends at the moment

😂😂😂😂😂

Love your stories

Thank you - I give them a tin of sardines in sunflower oil each once a week - always have done, and all my dogs have amazing coats. I don’t know why more people don’t do it - they love it, it’s cheap (around 55-60p) and fantastic for them. Although at the moment I need to find something for their noses - they are going a bit brown and dry and crusty. It might have something to do with the fourth mine shaft that’s opened up in my lawn, but when I point at it and demand, ‘Who did this!’ they swear blind it wasn’t them. Do I believe them? Do I coco!

PA 🙂

Broad beans hypertensogenic? I'd not heard that.

😀

Thank goodness I don't have any broad beans and I can carry on eating liquorice... 😉

You shouldn’t eat liquorice if you have high blood pressure…or Broad beans.

I have a feeling the Native Americans used it as a cure for toothache. Not sure where that useless information came from.

I remember too Barrie.

Yes Barrie, I think you can still get it in health food shops.

I do Barrie. It looked like a twig and went all stringy when it was chewed, ended up with a black tongue. I preferred the tube of liquorice in a sherbet dip.

Kb :-) :-)

Anyone remember buying liquorice root?

🤣🤣

And constantly on the loo the next day?

The Scottish Government launched a 12-month pilot program that caps most single bus fares at £2 across the Highlands and Islands.

Participating routes in Highland, Moray, Argyll and Bute, Western Isles, Orkney, and Shetland.

The Octogenarian I did hear they were trialling a cheap fare but I believe it was possibly the Highlands and Islands. Certainly not where I am.

Val1101. I'm also in North East Scotland, I believe, and did hear a couple of distant rumbles, but about 17 degrees, got drizzle and later heavier rain. Seems to be fine now.

I pity you northerners for having to wear coats - only 34 degrees here yesterday(Thursday).

Frozen North - A very pleasant 13 °C. Was 15 °C in mid afternoon.

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

We have fog or haar some people call it , and it’s cool 11 degrees . Thunderstorms forecast . We are north east Scotland 🙈 x

@A N N - I was in Scotland recently, and the bus fare was £2 single for non-Scots, even on CityLink coaches - one could travel Inverness to Glasgow for £2. Strange how the fare structure varies?

All the English buses are capped at £3, aren’t they? No idea about the heathen warriors though 🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Road trip it is!

They won’t know what hit them.

Nice to know other cooler areas but none near me.😫

Lol you're probably subsidising the free concession bus passes our senior citizens still get at 60, and the free bus passes all our school children get and carry on getting until they're 22...

It's expensive where I'm currently staying in Scotland, £16 for a bus ticket one way. I managed to get a weeks ticket for £59 so I feel pretty lucky, and ripped off at the same time. The people here are really nice, despite what I read on the Internet before coming. It had me thinking what have I done, but I've found it to be totally opposite to what I've read, they are pleasant, helpful, and friendly and nicer than Lancashire in my opinion.

PMP road trip is it?!

Showing 37.27778C here, that's 99.1F for those that speak properly ;-) ;-)

Or the Orkneys it's cooler there.

My daughters husband was born there, they still leave their doors unlocked, as don't have to worry about thieves.

But expensive to live there.

😊😊😊 Now all go and put your sunhats back on - immediately!

Very good all.

Aye I remember that one Redz👍.

Good one R.M

🤣

FORGIVE CAPS PMP.

KENNY,

GOTTA LOVE THE NOSTALGIC JOKES! DO YOU REMEMBER THIS 1?

DIRE STRAITS & CHRIS REA WERE THINKING OF GETTING TOGETHER, BUT DECIDED AGAINST IT WHEN THE ONLY NAME THEY COULD COME UP WITH FOR THE GROUP WAS ……. DIRE REA! 😁

😂@both

I can beat that. I went to the new steak house in Vegas last week which is Elvis themed. It's for people who love meat tender

😂

🤣🤣

Blimey Beth, didn't realise you were that old!

You should have been here for the Flood of 1607, Nick - cleared out all the detritus causing the daily at that time. Much nicer afterwards. That’s the trouble with you modern kids, don’t know you’re born.

Enver ... in Bakewell there's lots of tarts. 🤣

Some of us still remember the Great Stink of 1858 caused by the heatwave.

Wow that's 48.8 in British money

In '76 Lin got sunburnt & bore scars on her shoulders for several years. She never lay in the sun but still got caught out. The thing is she was only 25 then & healthier.

I think nature just caught up with us!

South Today on TV said a lot of hospital wards are not air-conditioned and of course the staff still have to wear scrubs or uniform. Some equipment is failing, labs can’t do testing and some cancer equipment and treatment is not operational. One day we might catch up with nature!

I am not a fan of this heat, and I do feel for anyone who may be suffering or struggling in this weather. Keep an eye out or ears open for anyone in difficulty, and maybe check in on older folk or the vulnerable to make sure they are OK.

I even saw something about important services in QA Hospital, our local one, suffering due to equipment failures, and to top it all, a communications breakdown in BT caused most local surgeries to lose phones, internet, and pretty much all of their systems too.

Stay hydrated, and be thankful it's only for a few more days.

I don't care about those who say they survived in '76 and it's no different now. Anyone can become unwell at any stage in their life, even if they were healthy in the past. You simply can't compare what it was like then to how it is now.

Why is everyone complaining about the heat. Wife sent me a whatsapp photo of our wall thermometer and it was 92.6 centigrade.

Hang on, I've just had a closer look and that was the time 9:26.

I go for a wee walk round the block between midnight & 5am, if it is cooler outside then my windows & balcony door are open all night with fans going till it gets hotter (about 9am). I don't like the heat either. Both our landscapers & the council cut the grass yesterday & it's now going yellow. , Thursday it is currently 26C & rising in Livingston so I tend to sleep during the day., 🤔💭Good job I don't live in Bakewell.

Here in Swansea, it's 32 °C right now. If you are a pet owner (I have two dogs), add some ice cubes to their water bowl. It helps make the water cooler and keeps them cool and hydrated. Refill with ice cubes every 4 hours.

We have a lovely breeze here in north Gloucestershire today. It feels much cooler outside than in.

I have suggested the same thing, Happy!

I went to bed at 7.30 pm last evening as heat so oppressive in the South East. 🥵 Had two fans on in the bedroom trying to keep cooler.

Perhaps we should just stay in the car with the air conditioning on!

Please send the breeze my way Alley.

I am in the red zone in South Wales. Far too hot for me on Wednesday and not even a whiff of a breeze. Today Thursday is much better as there is a cool breeze today.

It’s too hot in both!🥵🥵🥵

I use Fahrenheit. My parents taught me that and I prefer it. 🙂

When did we switch from Centigrade to Fahrenheit ?

Centigrade/Celsius seems so much easier.

Really hot here too - not that far from Gosport, although yesterday we had a nice Easterly breeze but not today. Poor dogs are washed out - I put the hose on them this afternoon and didn’t dry them, although I had to let it run a few minutes or the water would have burned them.

I'm in the red zone in Somerset and it's 34 here today, predicted 37 tomorrow afternoon, with 30 degrees until rain on Thursday evening at 10pm. I have a hair cut tomorrow but the salon is air conditioned so am looking forward to being there weirdly !!!

I think you're wise to stay inside where possible, CS. My ma is 80 and fortunately she lives in the Amber zone in Dorset. She postponed a hair appointment today as she doesn't cope well in the heat, either.

A very pleasant 22 degrees North Wales coast today. Wind from the North-East so blowing across the sea.

@ Kiwi Shel, about 10 miles in. I'm in the 'red zone'

CS, how unpleasant. Do you live inland? I'm lucky to live on the coast and there was a breeze yesterday 🌻

It's 33 ° C in Bournemouth and I'm coping as I'm in my flat with window open. Fortunately, no work today or tomorrow! 🎉 I plan a short sweaty walk this evening, ha ha 🍀

Reached 36 degrees this afternoon.🥵🥵🥵 Been indoors since yesterday morning and won't emerge until Friday morning.

Centigrade used in UK

Ditto Marie, way too hot!

More than warm enough, thank you! 34 degrees C here today and a predicted 35 degrees C tomorrow 🥵

Enver, we have - I was being kind to them the first time, when it was a lot cooler - plus it’s easier to keep them still in the shower. Indi doesn’t like the hose, even though she loves swimming. The boys are quite happy with the hose in this heat - or they haven’t learned to run away yet.

I am also giving them all ice cubes to crunch, carrots and melon from the fridge and semi-skimmed milk to make sure they keep up their fluids. They don’t like the fan, though - so I have that! 🙂💨 They still benefit from the cooler room.

I think I have the same painkiller squirty stuff, it makes me feel so much better but I do put it on everything. It's called Nestlé Carnation Pistachio Flavour Drizzle, I'm not a doctor but I'd recommend it for any ailments.

You should have a tap & hose on the outside of the building, or a sprinkler on the lawn so you can wash them outside & they have no need to go in the pond to cool off.

And now there'll be another one to temporarily join in the fun! 😀

I forgot to say that when the boys and Poppy came in plastered with sludge a couple of days ago the first I knew was when Storm leapt up onto the big footstool in the lounge. It’s about 30” square so big enough for one or both (at a squeeze) or with Indi too if they lie on top of each other. You can imagine what a nice beige velvet (ok Dralon) surface looked like… I let it dry and yesterday tried brushing it off. Whoopee says Shadow, that looks like fun! Ever tried brushing something with a black termite following every move like a demented tennis fan? grabbing the brush (and my fingers) resulting in me squeaking somewhat and teaching him some new vocabulary. Anyway, the brushing did no good, so I resorted to the Doctor Beckmans carpet Stain Remover with the blue brush on top. What a fantastic product that is - works brilliantly on carpets. When I had scrubbed the footstool last night I covered it with a bit of dog towel, looked this morning and it was incredible - hardly a mark left. Until later today, of course… i wonder if they sell it by the tanker-load?

Oh spoil sport samandi, what fun is that for us....sorry Beth8it, but we do need the entertainment from them adorable pups/doggies!

Fence off the pond Beth or you will have more of them to shower 😅

😂😂You are very capable Beth! 🙏🏻

I have just had a text from friend’s daughter who has Ivy. Her mum, my friend, is going into hospital for an op for skin cancer removal on 3rd July but daughter will be on holiday from Saturday and is worried how Mum will cope with Ivy without her. They can’t find a day-care to take her so would I have her daily from this Saturday until the day of the op, then overnight for 2 days so Mum doesn’t have to walk her or risk being bounced all over. Ivy is another hyper, like Poppy and Lexi, so I am expecting major disasters ahead!

Beth8it, I'm glad to hear of no more nightly visits and that you're cameras are back up and running.

I think that Little Owl has just inferred that Beth is a bitch. 😁(wooden spoon emoji).

Samandi - no, no news art the moment. The rep who was coming apologised and said he would contact his colleague, who was the one who put him in touch with me, but not heard anything yet.

I’m so pleased you all find it amusing (through gritted teeth…).

Redz - no, nothing since Saturday. I have purchased two trail cameras and put them up, but nothing unexpected on them so far. I have also had ADT out to see to the front doorbell that kept dropping connection with the internet. They have not only put a brand new one in but also fixed the camera at the rear of the house that was not working due to stepson changing his internet from EE to Sky, as it needed reprogramming to the Sky router. Iam now fully protected!

FORGIVE CAPS PMP.

BETH,

YOU CERTAINLY DON’T NEED A PERSONAL TRAINER WITH 3 FURRY HURRICANES IN TOW!

I’M PLEASED TO READ NO FURTHER MENTION OF YOUR UNWELCOME VISITORS.

Any news of Storm and the policeman - or did I miss that bit?

I agree with Marie but still a very funny read.

I can imagine the chaos, but like Marie said the description is amusing to us, obviously not for you! Good luck today with them Beth8it!

I think they are giving you the runaround, Beth.

They know if they go in that pond they will have a lovely shower afterwards and fun watching their grandmother cleaning up after them.

One day at a time Beth ;-)

I'm sure it isn't for you Beth, but the description of this is amusing. I have to say I would like to see it! 😀

Both very good - made me laugh.

Very funny all🤣 I’m definitely a bit slow

I hate it when a joke needs explaining, especially as people seem to be getting it. I even translated the Chinese. As I wrote that, I got it. Excellent 👍👍. For any who don't have Chinese it just says "Your patella is 2.54 cm high." but that is almost irrelevant. Good joke. Some of us are a bit slow.

😂

😂😂 love it Redz 👏👏

FORGIVE CAPS PMP.

KENNY B,

I BET THAT JOKE QUENCHED YOUR HUMOUR 😉

I SAW 1 TODAY & THOUGHT OF YOU -

I HAD MY LEG X-RAYED TODAY,

THE DOCTOR SAID - ‘YOUR PATELLA MEASURES 2.54CM'.

I SAID - 'INCH-HIGH KNEES?'

HE SAID - '您的髌骨是2.54厘米高.'

😉

Yes! Put me down for two!

Apparently the "Harry Potter" broomsticks vibrates & were very popular.

I’ll delegate Indi. She can take her collar off.

Go on, Kat, you, me and any other witches in PMP! We can have strategically placed broomsticks!

Marie, please, don't encourage her!

Are you offering to be in it, Beth?! 😀

That's a very cruel way for them to find out Beth 😃

Admin are putting out a Calendar Girls nude calendar!

Is it Christmas? Oooh goody!

All I shall do is repeat what May put on Facebook yesterday - "Mark your calendars, something new is coming, July 1st...👀"

I've just had an FB notification that an admin has changed the description of PMP Competitions on FB. Had a look and it looks like it closed in 2023 but is now being commented on again. Do you know anything Marie?

Is that a reference to July 1st? My surname is not Whitmarsh. (Reference to a post by OG Main.)

Nor me/I (both of us)

Nor me.

What is social media?

Ditto

Nor me

I'm not on it either.

Sorry CS i'm not on (farcebook) ;-)
