Silly Billy here. Watered the front garden this morning. Did a lot of pruning in the back garden. I found out that if you are holding a branch very close to the secateurs, it is possible to cut the side of my little finger. It hurt but I carried on. Then it decided to start bleeding but I carried on because I wanted to get the job done. An hour later I decided that I ought to get a plaster. Cleaned the cut and put a plaster on which helped keep the flap of skin in place. Then it was time to water the veg etc. Finally stopped at 6pm. Couldn't be bothered to cook anything so I've had some sausage rolls.

We use masking tape, for a quick fix Beth, usually stick some folded tissue over the actual wound so it’s not pulled open when removing later.
All about getting on with the job asap.

I sometimes use sellotape as a quick fix if I break a nail gardening, and have stuck down a very shallow bit of skin with it when I've cut it, but not if it's actually bleeding. Keep it clean and carry on!

Some members have won multiple times. That's just the nature of a random draw. 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.
samandi
3 days ago
Yes it does happen.
If a whole street signed up using their own postcode, they would all have different membership numbers, ( )which is what is chosen rather than a postcode)
So it could happen that everyone on the street had their number chosen, resulting in a lot of identical postcodes on the same day.
Some time ago, the same postcode appeared twice in one day.
PS, sorry CS, you posted while I was typing.
Chocolate Spaniel

The selection process is done by a Random Number Generator, where members are allocated a unique number and it is this that is entered into the draw. If, as occasionally happens a postcode appears more than once, it may not even be the same person. Check out this from the FAQ, which explains... https://help.pickmypostcode.com/article/14-how-are-winning-postcode-selected

Coo eee. 2nd attempt, the first was almost finished when it disappeared. I could get wifi at the hotel but it told me that PMP was a dangerous site. I then tried with the Teclast tablet. It connected but no internet because I couldn't find how to enter the password. The two receptionists tried as well. There weren't any kids around to do it for me.
The last pickup on Saturday was at Basingstoke, we then went on the A33 through west Reading and over the bridge into Caversham. Onto the Henley road where we stopped for three hours. Straight to Wetherspoons to share fish and chips which were definitely Henley prices. Wander around some charity shops which were definitely, ''Ow much?''. Sat in the shade by the river for a while then slowly back to the coach. Looked in an estate agent's window. 3 bed mid terrace was one and a half million. It was back to Reading to the Hilton Reading Hotel. Quite nice. Had reqested a walk in shower and we got a disabled room. Plenty of hand rails in the shower for me. Just made sure that I didn't pull the red cord hanging from the ceiling. Dinner was a buffet, pork steaks, beef stew, new potatoes, mixed veg, cheesecake, treacle tart and fruit. On Sunday we went to the Chilterns Outdoor Living Museum near Chalfont St Giles. My kind of museum with the rebuilt houses from the last couple of centuries or so. Good to see how we used to live although I couldn't manage the stairs to see the bedrooms. The farmyard brought back memories of my Aunt's farm in Yorkshire. There was a Napoleonic war re enactment going on with some loud cannons going off. There was a pre fab house and they always amaze me with the amount of space they have inside. Dinner was cottage pie, mixed veg, lots of roasties, cheese cake and a tart that was flakey pastry base, creamy filling and white icing on top. I was not happy with the bar prices. A can of diet Coke for Glo cost £4.60. Yesterday we had a coffee stop in Windsor then a three hour lunch break in Richmond. A long walk from the coach park to the main street resulting in an extremely painful back. No sign of a Wetherspoons so Glo had some noodles in an Itsu. Home at 5.30pm. The link between the four towns we went to was the River Thames. I was brought up in Bracknell for the first 30 years of my life, and that is only 10 miles from Reading, so I was familiar with the area but Reading is so different now with lots of industrial areas. Next trip is August Bank Holiday, unless Ernie is kind to me next week.
Yesterday ended on a sad note. When we got home we were told that my sister died last Friday.

Many years ago I went to the lady friends for the weekend. When I returned I couldn't get into my flat with my key, I had to get an emergency locksmith to drill the lock. Found out months later from some other neighbours that the police were in there whilst I was away.
Police told me the nasty council neighbours above created a stink near my door & phoned the police who broke into my flat thinking I had died, & having found nothing in my flat they put a new lock on the door, all without notifying me, & gave me the run around.
Eventually found out they sent the new keys to police HQ lost property in Edinburgh,from where they were destroyed before I could get them. I lodged a complaint.

I've long advocated that maths and arithmetic should be two separate subjects is school. Arithmetic - how to add up, take away, multiply, divide, calculate how many pots of paint, rolls of wallpaper or packs of laminate flooring you'll need to decorate a room, how to subtract VAT from a bill. Everything else is heavy maths and is only going to be needed if you're going into STEM subjects as part of your GCSE options.

The AC advertised on here is actually just a fan heater/cooler. I bought one last year and somebody must have forgotten to put the magic bits in.

The only ads we make are for our own sites Win A Dinner and Snip. We also add offers from the companies which we are affiliated with. You will know if something is added to the site by us and is a vetted offer because it will have one of our buttons on it that says something like “Shop now” etc.
The rest are Google ads and you can close these with the little x in the corner of the ad. I am afraid that we have no control about what ads our members get shown/served and each member could have something different. Your browsing history will affect what adverts you are shown, to some extent.
We would recommend that members do their due diligence and research any company before they take any action.

My sister treated me for my 70th birthday and we had a great day out yesterday on an old steam train tour from London’s Victoria to Swanage in Dorset. We passed through loads of places I have heard members mention on here and I kept trying to think who lived where as we passed by. The names of Beth8it, ChocolateSpaniel, and Admin Em came to mind. We went through West London, Staines, Woking, Farnborough, Basingstoke, Eastleigh, Southampton , Brockenhurst, Bournemouth, Poole and Wareham on the outward journey and when we came back we were pulled by a diesel loco to Southampton and then the Steam engine took us back in the opposite direction to London via Romsey. The journey took around six hours each way, which was more than we expected but there were breaks when we were able to get off to stretch our legs when the steam engine needed to be filled up with water. The carriages were old ex-BR intercity and quite comfortable and I felt quite relaxed when we go back home. It was something I enjoyed and will remember when I get old!

If Pickles and Alley will pay their own way I might be able to tag along on a BOGOF

You could always take me with you, Beth; call it Charity, and you'd feel really good about it. 🤣🤣

There you go, Nick - eat the beak to destroy the evidence.
The steam train outing to Devon is what I have wanted to do for ages, but I’d like to be really spoiled and have the silver service, and that’s a heck of a price. I really couldn’t justify it for myself just for one day. Hey ho, not the end of the world. Glad you had a lovely day, Jay Emjai, sounds like it!

If the swan has an uncut beak it belongs to the crown so it's probably punishable as treason. If it's beak has two nicks it belongs to the Victuallers & you'll be banned from all pubs in the country.

I found out that you can't check the age of a swan the way you can with a tree. The park keeper's have banned me from coming in now.

Swanage is much nicer than the image conjured by the name.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone. The actual birthday was several months ago, but the train only runs a couple of times a year. Great minds think alike Enver. I also went on a one Pound Network South East ticket from Ilford to Bournemouth and Poole, via Waterloo and that's where I got the idea for my birthday trip.

Belated birthday greetings. There is something about being pulled by a steam engine that is more restful than a diesel or electric.

Belated Happy Birthday Jay, I once took a girlfriend on regular services from Ilford to Weymouth when Network South East were offering anywhere on the network for a pound on that day, took ages to get there via Wayerloo . We tried coming back by a slightly differnt route to the east too. It was a good day out.
Steam engines cannot pull much these days as the boilers are old & smokey & might explode under full pressure, ... , just enough steam to whistle & for show, there's always a hidden diesel same colour as the carriages quietly doing the work at the other end. A steam engine only will jerk forward to get the carriages moving, then accelerate fairly smoothly with a few further jerks & much smoke.

I love steam trains, there is something majestic about seeing them puffing along with steaming chimneys and rotating coupling rods. I once went up to the top of Snowden on a smallish steam train and the walkers on the path were overtaking us!
