Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I almost never pick up my phone if I don't recognise the number or it's withheld. They can always leave a message.

Though I'm glad I did last Thursday as it was the doctor offering me a jab!

I am baking Dutch egg cakes... I haven't baked those for over a year, as I only ever bake them when I have friends visiting. No friends visiting, but I needed cheering up! So baked them for myself. Bit sad, as they are linked to nice times with friends, which I haven't had for so very long :/

jda I’m the same, I don’t answer numbers I don’t recognise. I’ve also got Malwarebytes on my phone which flags potential scammers quite well. Home phone is more difficult though as we don’t have caller id and drives me nuts.

Wore my new hat for the evening dogwalk. It works very well. Fulfills all the important functions of a hat. :-)

Some great newts today.

I get those scam calls all the time. Amazon Prime, HMRC, National Insurance number, if I don't press 1 immediately to transfer the money the police are already on their way to arrest me - that's usually the biggest giveaway as the police around here are 'never' on their way. Possibly if I phoned up and said there's a gunman who has also got an axe and is covered in blood running around in the street outside they might get someone over before Wednesday although not if it was a bank holiday in between of course - in fact next time the scammers ring I'll mention that fact.....

I have ordered 300 summer bulbs, hope we get nice weather over Easter so I can plant them.
Also had the kitchen fitter round this morning, first step towards getting our kitchen updated, probably not going to happen until autumn though as he is booked up.

About This Thread

Maintained by Sharkie
starblackheartstar The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring starblackheartstar

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
