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!

Everyone is doing so well :-)

I also started a new pair of shoes last week.

I painted the bedside cabinets, need another coat today.

I am more than two thirds of the way through Run the Sum.

Going to (hopefully) buy some rockery stones to finish the pond edging later today.

Jigs doesn’t post here but he did a new thing over the weekend, he has built a hedgehog house for winter hibernation :-)

You are a shining light as ever, Mrs. J. star
We wouldn't have the thread (which is pretty good fun, I admit) if it wasn't for you!

I swim with my head out of the water, because I swim in my contact lenses (I know, I know). It’s one of the many reasons I swim like a brick.

I’m a big fan of re-painting furniture. I managed to get a table and 2 chairs that way for £20 plus about £10 worth of paint.

I wear contacts when doing tri events but wear goggles - no point using prescription goggles as I wouldn't be safe on the bike!
I get told off by the optician

Oh I disagree Sharkie, you started these threads a couple of years ago to my knowledge :-)

Maz the pine bedside cabinets I bought second hand 30 years ago, the pine headboard which have also painted is around 30 years, it was time for a change :-)

I swim in contacts and non prescription goggles, too, but I pacified my optician by promising to only use disposables for that (and longer lasting ones for other non glasses compatible activities like rugby and moshing).

I only use contacts for long outside bike rides, proper long runs and OW swimming
My daily disposables last forever!
My current lot are recent purely because I used a lot when cycling to/from hospice for dad last year

Pottery was soooo lovely! Lots of squealing as the gang was back again, the teacher said she couldn’t sleep for excitement last night :) She’s running lots of extra classes this year and has ambitions to take over our town and make potters of everyone. Love her!!
