collies r best Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Jazz, when you say you've got jacket potatoes for the freezer what do you mean? Are they the frozen ready done ones you buy from the shop or do you do them yourself? Also ,dont know if anyone knows the answer to this but... a few days ago a lady was buying loads of cucumbers and tomatoes from a veg stall, she tells me she shoves them in the freezer so she has cheap veg all year round rather than paying silly winter prices. I've never thought of this, does anyone else do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Its a bag of 10 frozen jacket potatoes that you put in the microwave for 6 1/2 minutes from frozen and they are ready. £4.19 for 10.I put everything in the freezer, cheese, ham, veg, bread,anything. I find living on my own, fresh fruit and veg is off by the time I think about eating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tis a shame Claz doesn't have her paddock any more. I hope the bed arrives VERY soon Recently i've been feeding a very nervous torti cat. I'm positive shes been owned at one time but not for a long time. Theres no lost cat reports matching her. She only comes at night when its dark for her food and i haven't seen her for a few days but this morning she was sitting on the doorstep looking very sorry for herself. She has a huge abcess on her jaw, dripping gunk and shes lost a lot of weight.The vets have supplied some antibiotics and she had one and plenty of food. I was so pleased that she knew she could come to mefor help Awww, bless you for helping her My director got a phone call off his wife halfway through our chat - looks like their bunnies have been eaten by a fox as there's bits of rabbit all over the garden Sleep tight ickle furry bunnies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Hop free bunnies Good luck with torti puss, Rachael. We had walk in park as usual this morning and were nearly home when brakes seized on and smoke appeared Said a few rood words. Walked girls home along main road, they were both very good. Going now to see if any chance of freeing up brakes. Garage can take it in on Monday, but I only have one recovery per call available from Direct Line, and garage has no room on yard for it today. Everything crossed I can get brakes unstuck and car home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 It's been an odd few days here. Satuday night we had a couple of blokes in the pub from the campsite down the road. They were a bit wierd, one especially so, but you often get 'alternative types' round here so nithing unusual. Monday morning, one of them - Oliver - walked into the river from the campsite and wasn't seen again. His body was eventually found in the river on Wednesday. Apparently he was bipolar and had taken himself off his medication. Don't know much more than that. The other guy, Russell, who was his aquaintance I think rather than a friend, but had brough thim here in his car, is not coping well. He's spent the last few nights here in the pub, not drinking a great deal, but just recounting over and over what has happened. Last night Russell was particularly bad and Kev had to tell him to go back to the campsite and get some sleep, rather than finish his last pint. He wasn't happy about it and wanted to be taken home, but Kev can't drive and wasn't prepared to get me to take him (I'd have been very uncomfortable being alone with him as he definitely not stable). It's only a mile down the lane and it was a moonlit night. It's going to be difficult if he comes back tonight as although he's been through a horrible experience, I think he is the type to take advantage of those around him. Everyone in the pub was massively uncomfortable with him and he got a bit agressive, particularly with one woman. We needed to avoid a confrontation between Russell and this woman's boyfriend. What can you do? We give support as much as possible, and we are widely considered to be very community minded publicans, but we are not a social service and there is something about this man that we think is not just about the shock of events. We'll see how it goes tonight. Unfortunately he has decided to stay down here on the campsite indefinitely. Rest in Peace Oliver, I hope you are happier now where you are.

JulesB Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Well done for helping the little torti cat CRB, hopefully she will be feeling now she has some antibiotics inside her. Abby, I think you are right to be concerned, and definitely right not to have given this man a lift if he's unstable, however sad the circumstances. *Makes note not to get on the wrong side of Snow* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReikiAnge Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Sorry to hear your job situation is still unclear Alex and sleep tight bunnies Has your bed arrived yet Tracy? Really mad females You're not having much luck Phebe are you? I hope things are sorted out soon Abby, very sad for the poor chap that died - and his friend does sound troubled too I can understand why you would feel concerned - do you have a local police officer/community support officer that you could contact ahead of tonight and explain the situation? Maybe they can offer advice/pop in this evening/be contactable? It's tough when he is obviously going through so much but that doesn't mean that others have to suffer Hope the cat is ok Rachael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collies r best Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Abby ,thats awful. Would it be worth having a word with the police as they are obviously involved and see if they have any advice as to the other guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Well the bed has finally arrived .... the bloody headboard hasn't but at least there is now a bed for her to sleep on - allgedly the headboard will be dropped off by the bedman on his way home, since thats what he said about the flipping bed I shant be holding my breath. I would very much like a duck pond filled with flesh eating eels... sooner rather than later ... he's put the new duvet, new feather pillows and new duvet set on the bed for his mother... those were for OUR ruddy bed!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR And he's remembered to inform me that he's OUT this evening on a visit for victim support... this means I am left entertaining mil all night!
