We always try to park away from other cars in the hope that no idiot will prang ours when trying to aim into the slot........doesn't always work though

Good evening Thomzo and glad that you are mending, slowly but surely is best .

Thanks MMM, still waiting for the results but it should be soon now. Thanks for the welcome back :)

Hi Folks, we have a problem.......... We are buying a cottage in Orkney and the one problem we have is finding the location of the septic tank. The last owner hasn't got a clue (he hasn't got a clue about anything remotely domestic) and we've stomped all over the garden, a biggish one, but haven't s...

I've not been on here for ages, only recently ventured back with a couple of posts. I have been in a very bad place thanks to depression but now am feeling more positive.....about some things anyway. My medical problems have got worse and even life-threatening (awaiting biopsy results) but we've als...

Biopsy over with and back home, sooo glad. Thanks for the good wishes folks and Citizentwiglet, good luck with the biopsy. Sometimes the thinking about it is worse than the actual event, building it up in your head 'cos of the fear. I hope everything turns out brilliantly for you, sending you my lov...

Thanks both :icon_smile: I've not been on here for a very long time - depression's been bad and lots of medical problems with liver problems being the next thing :roll: .

Have any of you women ishers ever had a liver biopsy? I'm due to go for one tomorrow and wondered if you could tell me anything useful. Many thanks.

We quite fancy having a go at making paper logs with one of those squashing log maker contraptions but wondered if there was any particular brand/model that you guys could recommend?

Very good, thanks, enjoyed it.

Hello Paul and Diana from a Lancastrian now living in Orkney .

Having made the move to Orkney I'd say there are lots of plus points but also quite a few negative ones. My husband had the luxury of having a job where he could work from home for a company in Preston (near where we used to live) but not having a job and moving here is a whole lot harder as the job...

We've got a spare room.......if you don't mind sharing it with the ironing and board, an exercise bike, old hi-fi unit......but the beds still there Seriously, hope you find it.

Hi Dr.Syn, well it's been pretty rough here for ages now. Weeks of high and gale force winds complete with heavy rain and sometimes snow. a friend who has chickens lost a cockerel when the hen house blew into the next field and this was a heavy duty affair weighing 3/4 of a ton! Poor cocky got crush...

Hi oldjerry, good to see you back. Was it the long car journey that made the clot happen? My hubby broke his leg back in August (left fibula near the ankle) then he got an infection in his foot and spent more time in hospital then he developed an 8 inch blood clot in this leg, the middle of it being...
