Good luck, older sister! You can have the marzipan - I do qute like it, but went into Grape Tree today and succumbed to the Cherry Bakewell Bars. I did manage to eat one between there and the osteo, about fifty yards and hid the other one as I know he likes them too! Bit niggled that they used to be about 89p, then kept climbing to their current rate of £1.19 - at least it helps the diet if the price keeps climbing.

FORGIVE CAPS PMP.

KAT,

SENDING YOU HEALING VIBES, I HOPE YOUR BURN HAS FULLY RECOVERED TOO.

祝你早日康复

😉

Hope your eye gets better soon Kat, I'm very envious of the 9p marzipan!

Been missing your input Kat, I thought perhaps you were on holiday.

Hope your eye problem gets sorted very soon

I also managed to get some 9p marzipan bars - I spotted them cos there was a woman photographing the price on the shelf and I wondered what she doing! Hope your eye gets better soon.

Going back to SpaMedica on 9th May. Apparently the fluid has gone, almost, so it's definitely improving but it seems to be variable in clarity & comfort. The other eye, which was compensating, seems to not want to play anymore. I asked why the nurse was showing me a chart in Chinese or maybe Korean at the last visit, that's how bad the blurring & double vision in the untreated eye was! I really was lucky to spot the marzipan wasn't I?🤣🤣🤣

I forgot all about Easter marzipan, thought that was Xmas only, I like rum'n'raisin but prefer pineapple, I checked both my stores right now, Aldi say they shot off the shelf soon as reduced - nil stock, & Lidl say they don't dp them at Easter, if you got any at all at 9p then I'd say it was a success. Sorry to hear you eye is still dodgy, hope your next appointment is soon?

Kat Sorry about the eye but remember your mouth hasn't moved, you'll still manage to get through that marzipan. And well done, even I had to pay 20p at Lidl, I bought loads. I'm expecting to be near Aldi tomorrow so I'll have a look but I'd expect them to be gone now.

Kat, I hope that you get your eye sorted soon.

That sounds like a great bargain!

Take care 💞

Sorry to hear that you're still struggling with your eye. I hope that they are trying to help you.

Hello & good luck! 🤞

Lovely to see a lad & his dog so happy together. Woody looks so grown up! Thanks Em & Beth.

Nice photos, please keep them coming...

Only just seen them, they are good ones. He looks quite grown up.

Thanks Beth and Em, they are great photos.

He seems to be settled and happy. Thanks Em and Beth for sending them.

I've just completed this, James, and have also put a link on my Facebook newsfeed. I have to say, it was quite interesting and it turns out that I have much more of a view on the subject matter than I anticipated! Good luck with the research and your degree.

James,

I was screened out. I didn't get my 5p bonus 🤣😂

Did make me think, I really struggled for a positive youth experience, which made me really think how society has shifted

Thanks Beth, I'm glad you found some value in doing it too! I've loved how many people have commented to me or said in the closing response that they found this questionnaire had really made them think about their views.

Done- hope it is of use to you. Actually useful to me too, making me think about my own reactions and young people’s problems.

Thanks Caroline, Jennie, and Little Owl! I appreciate your participation and your well-wishes very much :)

Done, good luck James.

Done. Good luck 😊

Hi James - happy to do so! I'm a retired uni lecturer (not in that subject area) and am always interested in helping students. Off to cook our tea now but will do the questionnaire this evening. Good luck with the Masters!

Oh wow that's fantastic Admin Em hope you do reach your target please let me know by Sunday if you manage to get your target please xx I hope I do well too as I know raising money is rather difficult xx

I've raised £190. So I'm £10 away from my target but I'm just happy to have raised anything. Things are so tight for everyone right now. I hope that Cancer Research does well overall.

I hope that you do well for Dementia UK.

Thank you AJR xx

Thank you Admin Em how is your current sponsor coming along? xx

Thank you Jaffa xx

Good luck and a great cause.

Good luck Dharma. I did this in Feb '24, but sadly due to personal circumstances I didn't get to do the full month. I still raised some money for the charity though. I hope you have fun raising some money and getting fit at the same time.

Good luck Dharma.

Anyone else see the resemblance to a lion in Woody photos? Especially the one where he is coming head on, stalking.

Those latest great photos of Woody really emphasise just how much he has grown. Enjoying his new life and home.

BuaD 😂

I used to walk our 2 dogs in Thetford Forest. They would run ahead but look back every so often to check that I was following. Sometimes I used to play a trick with them. I would wait till they looked back and then hide behind a tree. The older dog would run back and continue past where I was hiding. The younger dog would run back to the exact spot she had last seen me. I had to come out of hiding then in case the other dog kept running away.

I remember my daughter doing that in the New Forest, she never looked back

Storm must have decided that he had gone far enough away from you, Mum & safety, so came back. It's good that they are getting into the habit of not straying too far. Your poor neighbour's dog!

Eww! Just had a Rolf Harris flashback.

It doesn't work when you read it as Austrian and takes many more readings before the brain twigs.

I had to read this twice to get it. 😂

@Kb HaHaHa, it's 4:40 am, and I just got this 👍🏻

(In my defence, I didn't read it until 10 minutes ago)

Maybe he didn't blow 🌬 hard enough 🌬

Beth, I hope you meant 'drool' because if you are having a dribble maybe Tena could help?🤭

Can’t you just hear the voice! He needed a bigger part in the show. I was surprised how upset I was when ‘the gang’ were wiped out at Waterloo - very touching when the two men crawled closer to link hands as they died.

John Tams on his early career: "We didn't do Drama at my school, we did smoking. Smoking, running about in t'cold, and metalwork. The careers officer told me "you'll go and work down t'pit", I said "I want to work for the BBC". He said "you'll be an electrician down t'pit". So I ran away and joined a travelling fairground."

John Tams on playing crack shot Rifleman Hagman: "I don't judge distances very well. I tend to be very careful with bayonets."

Lovely man.

I have the Sharpe's Theme music and "Over the hills..." on a cassette tape somewhere.

What a talented guy he is, John Tams. I read about him a coupkle of years ago.

I also have an extremely soft spot, if you'll excuse the term, for Patrick Harper! One could say I'm not fussy, but that's another matter. 🥧(work it out!)

I used to know Hagman.

He changed his spelling to match. Silly sod

If Sean is pronounce "Shawn" why isn't he called Shawn Bawn (or Bourne)?

I'm having one of those days. 😁

😂 It's nice to start a Monday morning with some laughter, thanks.

My lady friend says her dog is a welder, ... when the door opens the dog makes a bolt for it.

Brilliant

Took the words right out of my shelf

I thought a thesaurus was a dinosaur.

If that happened to me I would be lost for words.

There's no words to describe it, I would be speechless.

We nearly got caught stealing a book from the library. My friend said "do you think thesaurus?"

18th April 3.35pm @Ayr, 30 runners max, will post an updated list nearer the date.

Goody. Are we doing the virtual tenner again? Who's got the list of runners?

Well done Beth & tetleyt. 👍 its the Scottish Grand National next Saturday - it's always a week later.

OK, I promised a tenner to charity if Iroko finished. Is there a charity for frazzled puppy-sitters? I know! Bombay Gin Distillery guided tour! OK, maybe the RSPCA could do with it after finding 250 dogs in one room.

Update - have sent it to RSPCA with Gift Aid.

@Enver, I had a £1 each way on Iroku..last of the big spenders.

I won £3.80 😂

@Beth, I’m so glad I don’t have pups to look after.

You’re doing a great job. 😍

You have missed a trick here, Beth. Good advertising for Harringtons.

You always make mine and hubby’s day Beth . The pups definitely keep you on your toes . Love all the photos and Puppy Tales ❤️💙

Beth, there's never a dull moment in your house! ☺️

Haha, Labs love water & food.

Have 2 gins, 🐴 Iroku finished in 2nd place at 18-1.

The Winners Results page (linked near the bottom of every page) shows when a draw was claimed in red or missed in grey.

https://pickmypostcode.com/past-winners/

The system completes the draws from a database of active account ID numbers using a random number generator and the parameters of the smallest ID number to the largest. It then displays the postcode on the chosen account number as the winner of the draw. All it ‘sees’ is the account numbers of active members, it is not influenced by any other data or outside factors and is as random as a computer can be.

Many people have been checking for years and not won anything.

Amount of bonus or length of time checking cannot influence a random lottery. It’s just down to random luck. Nobody wins until the day they do. 😊

Months?

Pah! Chickenfeed!

I love the one with his blue toy.

I think the ‘yellow thing’ is the new bed they have bought for him - along with the stair gate, toys, puppy pads, food, collar and camera monitor to watch him at night!

Thanks Em and Beth - they seem to have a nice garden - glad all is well.

Lovely photos, thank you

Nice ones, thank you Beth and Em ...

No end of trouble getting the pictures from the owner but found he was sending too many at a time. Sorted now, and I am sending to him the pics of Woody’s early days.🙂

Thanks for the photos. Woody looks as if he is settling in well 🐕

He looks really at home already 😊

A dog bed or pillow, perhaps.

Ditto, love the one of him on that yellow thing.

Perhaps you need a bridging loan...

My money seems to stream away all on it's own.

The current rate seems to be rising again, however everything is fluid, drip feeding is best, hope no-one gets liquidated..

I can see Fawley Power Station (actually, recently decommissioned) and Esso Fawley refinery from my front window, and if the refinery were to blow up it would wipe half of Hampshire off the map, I think! We get no benefit from having it here in terms of cheaper fuel or energy, and I hate the idea of nuclear power stations which have no preparation for disposal of their power source when they are decommissioned other than a vague ‘burying it’ or ‘dropping it in the ocean’ or sending it abroad for disposal - we’ve seen what India’s plastics disposal looks like, so thick in the rivers they can walk on it. Nuclear is NOT a green energy source and never will be, until they find a way to make safe the remains of the process.

@Beth8it! - for once I agree with you, but the massive problem with nuclear is that people are totally opposed to having a power station near them, it should always be 'somewhere else.'

Memories of Chernobyl and Three Mile Island run deep even though these did not use processes in any way similar to those in use in the UK. But people vote by emotion, not by science.

The great thing about wind, tidal and North Sea Oil / Gas is that they are produced well away from consumers and so they are seen as 'green.' And nuclear power stations were built well away from London, Birmingham and so on: out of sight and out of mind.

What we really need is power generation (plus sewage treatment works, prisons and all the other things for which 'around here' just 'isn't suitable') to be placed near the service users and not in the far-flung parts of the country where the Chipping Norton crowd can conveniently forget about them. A few hundred wind turbines on Hampstead Heath wouldn't go amiss - we've done our bit in the North Pennines, over to you London!

🙂 I do think the system is wrong when all fuel prices are based on gas prices, whereas electricity should be cheaper than gas. I don’t think there is much point in taking more oil and gas from the North Sea as we can’t use it ourselves, but if nuclear is so much cheaper, it should be worked out on a different scale. It’s just profiteering to base a cheaper product on the rate of a dearer one.

@Bob up and Down - oh do come on. Describing the Greens as 'Marxist' is a bit like listening to a 19 year old Politics student ranting against capitalism.

The price charged by wind energy generators reflects market demand for their product. Would you advocate a Marxist solution where the State nationalises all such industries and fixes the prices, or would you prefer a non-interventionist policy where the Government doesn't 'manipulate' the market and producers / suppliers of a good or service can charge whatever the market will bear?

If the latter, then OFGEN, OFWAT and all the other regulators would be scrapped and firms would operate in a totally free market in which their sole concern would be profit maximisation.

Be very careful what you wish for, he said, ending on a preposition, which you should never end a sentence with :)

Take down the windmills and use those.

Tidal devices must not obstruct scenery, fish or shipping passing, wherever they are inspection & maintenance will always be a problem.. Sadly everything wears out, those massive turbine blades go to landfill, so I'm sure tidal energy devices will too.

It is usually too far & expensive across beautiful or rocky countryside to get permission to link the remote generators to the grid or nearest place where the power is needed, Storing extra power somewhere till required is a problem too, perhaps less using old EV batteries.

Maybe ask Richard Branson to look into adapting parts of old plane wings as tidal energy generators?

Maybe we need an enterprising billionnaire to set one up in one area and franchise the idea if it takes off. Anyone know of one in this area? I'd love to have free energy in return for being a guineapig for a few years ... not literally, of course. However, you can bet there'd be o end of planing restrictions... wecan'thavethat... someonecomingupwithanideathatworks...

Problem is Beth, our government is completely committed to market manipulation. Greens and their fellow Marxists are banging on about how this crisis proves we need more renewables, but they have linked the price of wind power to the gas price, so wind energy is now double what it was in February. No doubt they’d do the same with tidal

Not that that oil is suitable for vehicle or domestic fuel refining. We would only make money by selling it - we would still have to buy in for our own use. I will stand by my idea that we should be investing in tidal energy - no one can hold us to ransom over that, it reaches all parts of the country, so not dependent on where refineries or nuclear plants are built, and no nasty million-year half-life for disposal like there is with nuclear.

Meanwhile they've discovered thousands of pounds worth of oil in a new part of the North Sea but they're not allowed to drill for it although Norway is making millions from still drilling...

Lol 63, during the last fuel crisis the prices in the vending machine at work went up. They never came down. Still had the same crisps. Why doesn't Trump crack down on the countries providing the weapons to Iran (answers on a postcard please).

Trump sells his outdated & disused stockpiled armaments to Ukraine so he can get rid of them & make more modern weapons ... & attack Iran, Greenland & other countries he doesn't like, keeping him happy.

Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz to oil from the Middle East (from 35 ships/ day to nil) in protest, backing up or forcing stopping production, which has increased the price of Russian oil, & the US has loosened sanctions preventing other countries from buying Russian oil, only Russia, Iran & China would like it to stay closed.

Any money paid to Russia is spent on drones to support Iran & invading Ukraine (if not diverted into their pockets), keeping Putin happy & sweet talking to Trump.

Almost a self-defeating circle.

It only lasted a day - they did drop wholesale, but are back up to $98/barrel again today.

Even if the ceasefire were to go ahead, it will take 6 months for normality to return 😏

According to YouGov, 78% of the UK say that the ceasefire will not hold.
