Good idea L.M ,a little stick or something so I can lever the lid up with a hoe or a trowel.
No news from my friend in Wales ,who has lost her son.
I have emailed and phoned but no reply so I must respect her wish for privacy.
Soooo cold here today, son drove me to Bury to get proof ( via Council Tax payments) that I am still alive ,re my Belgian pension eligibility.
I keep reminding them my Dad was up to his knees in muck and bullets for them in WW1!
Just had fish and chips for tea, so not much washing up .
Someone came to the door today from Derian House.A children’s Hospice he said.
I agreed to donate ,but even with a badge ,and pamphlets , no way was I going to give my card details including the three figure number on the back just like that — called son who was upstairs working ,he came down and
said I was not going to do that and it was unreasonable to ask for such details on the doorstep.So I said sorry, but I am not donating .
He was very polite and left.
Email from blind company ,asking for the last half of the cost of a blind I ordered ,which was fitted over a week ago, and for which I paid in advance.
Got bank statement today and it shows in there the two payments —half on ordering and half when installation date was confirmed by phone.
Does not inspire much confidence .
Well not much washing up but what there is needs to be done ,then a cup,of tea.
Cheerio.
Viktoria.
