Upcoming surgery will render my right hand useless for some time, creating exciting temporary positions for dynamic people. Wages in the 1-3 groats range, payable on St Jude Thaddeus' next feast day: cat concierge cook hair stylist house maid jester groom of the stool All applicants etc...

And so cowardly. They aren't allowed to talk to me (or L, when she was alive), because of their past behaviour, so they played the system & got their "revenge" through the back door. There is a special place in hell for such people.

Is it too mean of me to hope that there's a freak accident in a garden centre, where they trip over & are beheaded by a viola?

One twisted couple didn't like L, & thought it great to complain to the council, who yesterday ordered it ripped out - after 5 years. The couple also called the police on us. How can you have so much spite & malice for a dead woman who always tried to help others?

An update, now I'm calmer. L & I built a community garden. Many residents helped & loved it. Just finished a re-vamp in her memory, & her daughter was travelling down this Friday to see it.

Just when you think someone can't sink any lower, be any more mean, petty, spiteful, hateful, vindictive or more disrespectful the living & dead, they outdo themselves. I hope I live long enough to see them get their comeuppance. My last shred of faith in humanity is gone. I'm DONE with people.

Good to know - as it happens, the surgery is for bone fusion in my right hand! Plus, obvs, there'll be no housework for a while 😁

Can't say I blame you! But having said that, am having some surgery soon, and if they offer me some good stuff afterwards, I won't turn it down ☺️

The problem is that even if you do take the meds & it goes away, you then need a new pill to take away the side effects that the first one has now given you...

Very wise. At least then, when you do have to admit defeat & seek medical attention, you can feel that you're getting your money's worth.

Quite right! I was so poorly last Boxing Day that I had to ring 999, but I still remembered my manners, & actually said to the call handler, "I'm really sorry to bother you". The paramedics told me that if I didn't go to hospital, I ran the risk of dying, so at least I wasn't being a wuss...

When the pain in my hand first started getting bad, I tried the NHS self-referral portal. Told them exactly (with medical names) what was wrong. Was offered a self-help leaflet, & they got snotty when I said I couldn't operate on myself. Consultant took one look, & guess what - I was right...

I kept an unopened can as a memento. Enjoyed them when I was older, too, & times was 'ard. My mum used to make me sarnies with Sainsbury breakfast slices (a cheaper version of bacon) - I still miss them. I even asked Sainsbo to bring them back a while ago 😞

Reform have said they will scrap PIP & the health element of UC. Their new slogan should be "work sets you free"... If he were alive today, Charles Dickens' novels would be a whole lot darker, & that's saying something...

Total bar stewards. It'll be like Mad Max world soon - fighting for a can of food... If the ground wasn't rock-hard, & I wasn't disabled, I'd start building a fallout shelter. But I guess I won't need it - the elderly & disabled will be culled first 😀

I bought M&S cargos - same pattern, only the colour was different. In order to get them to fit, 1 pair needed to be THREE sizes different to the other.
