eve Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 I use my slow cooker probably once or twice a week Suzeanna. Mostly for pie fillings and if we have a brisket or beef olives for sunday dinner. It's great for cheaper cuts of meat. I'd probably use it more if Richard was more adventurous with food as it's great for curries and chilli etc but he only likes bland boring stuff lol. I'd love a coffee maker Jazz but my kitchen is so tiny I don't have the room for it, or storage space when it's not being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Thought I hadn't seen my neighbour much, she has been stuck in bed with Covid but is improving. One of my friends is in Calow hozzy with a stroke. Has affected left side but not, thankfully, her speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 I only really like chicken, but Philip likes anything and everything, maybe I ought to get a slow cooker. Sorry to hear that, Owl. Hope she doesn't catch Covid whilst she's in there, they have experienced a jump in numbers recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz Posted October 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 nice man came to check the electrics, fixed the bedroom light in seconds, took 7 men over 5 years to do that, then stood on the dog ramp and broke it. I stayed calm, told him they cost a bomb, so he fixed it. Once he had gone, saw he hasnt screwed a power point back, ill get lewis to do that tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Friend with stroke is improving and has feeling back in her left side. Leg still too weak to support her but it's good to have any improvement so soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackmagic Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Not a lot happening here. Finally got sorted with BT. Nice man from Customer Resolutions- usually known as complaints managed to stop the action and sort out the bill eventually. He credited me with the amount due on the last bill. I haven't told him they managed to send it to a Mr GJ Brown. I don't know where they got that. It is not the initials of either Jim or me. Good that your friend is improving, owl. Progress can be slow but hopefully sh can get some mobility back. I like my slow cooker. Throw stuff in in the morning and forget about it until dinner time Cleo has a weeping eye. It dos not bother her at all but there is brown gunge coming from it. There is also a growth appearing on the inside of the upper eyelid so that may be causing it. I have an appointment at the vets on Monday. I bet Edinburgh vets are dearer than Thurso vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Wispa has a bit of brown stuff coming from one eye, but I can't see anything wrong with the eye. Fairly typical of old dogs, as far as I can see. Trying to do some research on the condition, going to vet if gets any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Must be something in the air - Honey has that too. Doesn't bother her and Nick cleans her eyes for her, it goes away but comes back after a while. Vet thought conjuctivitis and gave her some drops but it hasn't cleared it. Looks like we'll be back at the vets too. Pleased your friend is improving Owl. Was a nice day here today so we went over the water to the garden centre and I spent a small fortune on plants to replace the ones in the back garden that got trashed when we got the paths replaced. From Monday we're not supposed to travel to the area where the garden centre is as it's in level (tier) 3 for restrictions so really pleased we could go today. Not sure when I'll get them planted though as it's meant to be be a bit wet for the next few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzeanna Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 Brilliant news, Owl! My son in law's best friend had a stroke at the young age of 51, about four years ago now. He has never recovered the use of his left side at all, poor chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
