Oooo the pain!

Just spent a few days helping next door sort the place out, tried to freecycle a lot of stuff but only one turned up out of those that even bothered to show an interest, the scunthorpe freecycle site refused the post point blank citing various reasons, personally I think the moderator was pissed and couldn’t be arsed reading the post properly…… so a LOT of useful stuff that folks using the scunthorpe freecycle site could use will now go to the tip…. their loss as I don’t have the space to store all the items and freecycle them!
Seems the concept and ethos of the freecycle movement is lost on some folks!

Nothing much else to tell you, the weather has been bloody awful, summer is nearly over and my arthritis is playing up again…..
Tomorrow – shopping and a bottle of tesco’s liquid painkiller…. LOL

Have a good week you lot!
SeeYa

 

Saturday……

Well, its all over for another year, and to be honest I’m more than happy its finished, both christmas and new year were spent alone here, no place to go, no invites and no way of getting there anyway…. just the TV and computer for company, having the ‘flu ‘helped’ I guess as most of the time was spent in bed asleep, one of my favourite places indeed !

I’ve done my daily check of friends blogs but not many have updated for quite a while…. family, busy lives etc no doubt the reason… still, I’ll keep checking just for something to do….

I’m presently awaiting a freecycler, this time bringing me something, not collecting, for some reason, despite working perfectly in the old place, my TV now refuses to ’see’ the video, most of the good stuff I have is now on DVD but I still have quite a few video’s I’d like to watch, I was given a portable a long time ago but its sans scart socket, the freecycler coming today is bringing me a TV with a scart so hopefully later it’ll be settle down and watch some videos…..

Right, time for coffee number three and a few ‘dunked’ digestives….
Seeya !!

 

Me No Like !!

Two freecyclers today so got rid of even more stuff….. on letting out the last one I noticed it was getting a bit overcast…..
Five minutes later, snow!
It didn’t settle or last long but it was trying to snow….. later on it tried again, sky a ‘funny colour’, small flakes lazily dropping from the sky…..
Thermal socks on, long johns on, thermal tee shirt on….. me no like snow but I’m bloody well ready for it…..
The first freecycler to arrive is an old friend from many freecycle deals, old guy called Ron who drives a fifty mile round trip to collect from me and always brings a bottle of home made wine…. today he came empty handed, or so I thought…. out of his coat pocket, a made up bottle of what he’s labelled ‘Percy Special’, a mix of cherry brandy and whiskey….. jeez its good, warms the cockles of me heart it does… good lad Ron, howz about a couple of gallons next time, pretty please!!
Have a good weekend you lot, weather permitting of course, either way, stay warm !!!

 

Waiting for the rush…..

How to find out the number of ‘grabbers’ when something is put up on a Freecycle site….

Post an item they all want

I’ve just offered an old Jenoptik JD350 digital camera on the Scunthorpe freecycle site, now waiting for the bulging inbox

Well, its Friday, yet another weekend to do nothing, its 4.30pm and nearly dark outside, nothing worth watching on the tele either, I was going to set up the video camera to record the action around my hanging bird feeders but the weather is awful, overcast and wet, nowhere near enough light for my old Handycam to use…..
Got out of bed earlier than usual this morning because Friday is the day the warden visits, or not as is becoming the usual state of affairs, still no sign of him as yet…..

Okee doke, have a good weekend folks !!
