I have another but TM wont let me upload it.. Do they have more silly rules I haven't noticed?

I haven't been out to see the grapevine. Ill look another day.

I've had a very lazy day, down the Christmas shopping temu hole and did my games.

Also caught up with another girl I went to school with who was wondering if I knew one of the school Hunks.. Umm Nope and I reminded her I liked the teacher's not the boys lol Asked Gayle she didn't remember him either.

I do remember one of the better looking ones tho, cos it used to majorly upset a lot of the " in " girls, cos the guy and I used to have soo much fun together, especially in Science and Book Keeping. Maybe cos I just liked him as a boy, I wasn't after his body lol.

Was nice tripping down memory lane for a while tho.

Went into Whitcoulls to pick up Listener - like an idiot I browsed books first, so now I'll have to go back at some point,having spotted a board book which will do for newest great granddaughter for xmas.

Very interesting article in Listener; it seems some people who are very overweight have different gut bacteria to those who are leaner, & they can be helped with a 'faecal transplant', aka 'poo pill' which sounds bizzare, but is apparently really effective.

I tried to donate blood years ago, but they wouldn't let me, said i didn't weigh enough. I was in my early 20's & about 7 stone. Then years later I'd had infectious hepatitis so couldn't donate - & now, I'm too old.

I donated for decades, and then one visit I got pulled into an office to give a full medical history again - had done one a couple of years earlier, and got told because I was B12 deficient I couldn't donate any more. Weird I thought cos they'd had that in their records for years... But okay, rules change I guess...

Pity because I am B Rh neg and they need that type quite often.

Many years ago one of the nurses, from Nurse Maude, that I had dealings with, died from CJD, very sad, she was living in England for a time. Did not show any symptoms for years after returning home.

KM that is beautiful, you are extremely talented.
Good news about the scan, once that is done things will move quickly.

Popeye that looks lovely, the handles definitely suit that table.

Zoe, squash, you must be fit, puts me to shame!!!

Right the sun is out, have trimmed one dogs nails, think I will have to hogg tie the other to do his, have handled his feet since he was a pup, but he hates them being touched.
Now, outside to clean and polish the car and get it on autotrader, cannot have it sitting here.

OHH, those blinds would do my head in as well, they all have to be the same height in this house

Will let you know the outcome, definitely not going to video it, if he takes a chunk out of my forehead, I will blame you.

There is nothing in this world like a Jack Russell greeting when you come home lol.  OMG you would think we had been gone for weeks.  And he is like this everytime we go out   Our boy hates water, so water games aren't fun for him, and he hates peanut butter too.  We tried those peanut butter treats and nope, wouldn't have a bar of them. 

MrK is catching up with Emmerdale (he loves it, I hate it lol) on demand so I might work a bit on this cross stitch.

Mr K and I share that unfortunate addiction. I bet he was pleased with today's episode! I watch it every morning right after catching up with my social media communities, on my laptop so I don't have to put up with ads, lol...
