Today [15]

It's just about all gone Wolfgang. It was just a light covering here. We don't get enough snow in this area to make changing tyres economic so we just don't drive until the roads are gritted.

That's good. At least you are safe now.

I grew up with the house having an outside loo you all had chamber pots under the beds for night time.

At least it was attached to the end of the house not like my first husbands mothers house, you had to walk down to the bottom of the garden and there were 2 loos one belonged to the neighbour and one his mother. The neighbour had to cross his mothers to get to the path for the loos.

Only had a small yard so nowhere to grow anything, there was a row of 6 all joined together going up a slope. We had a cellar, the steps were the fridge as it was cold so the milk sat on the steps.

The thing was it was the norm, but we grew up not knowing any different and we were happy, well for the most part we were.

That's the thing Joan. You were happy because you didn't know any different.

Had another of those Microsoft calls today, apparently from the licencing dept. Of course I was stringing him along and he got quite upset and told me I was wasting his time. Oh and he told me he was going to shut down my computer so I'd never be able to use it again.

He wasn't ready to give up though as he phoned me back again, he said he wanted to check my computer was shut down, didn't have time to play anymore so told him I wasn't interested in his scam and put the phone down.

You tell em Joan.

At least you had a little fun playing with him.

I was getting them a couple of time a month a while back but they seem to have given up with me now.

That's funny Joan :)

I got one of those calls yesterday and I told the guy I knew he was a scam and I wasn't about to download anything and put on my computer and he called me a f**king a**hole and hung up.
