Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Unusual newt, jda - did you get an explanation as to why they broke down the door rather than called someone?

I hope the fan turns up swiftly and the boiler can be fixed - we often run out of oil and have no heating, but to have no hot water either would be horrible :(

not much newt here, I do have a nice new running T, it's from the newish small brand Harrier and has pockets:
one zipped at the back that will take a jacket,
one on each side that would be good for gels

and a tiny one on each sleeve - probably for a key?

I'm not sure how comfortable that would be, whether it would bounce around - don't know until I try it.

Sleeve pockets would be a good place for a parkrun barcode and/or the emergency fiver though.

Nope, there was just some well-meaning but fairly useless receptionist who waffled that he probably hadn’t been seen recently. Which given that the doctor had visited a couple of days previously and he hardly goes out anyway was obviously just fobbing me off - there was no actual explanation or notes from the officer responsible. We have confirmed the well-meaning handyman who called the police had no specific appointment. I suppose the police didn’t know who to call but I wonder how much time and effort they put into trying.

Ohhh intrigued by the newt pocketed top off to look at Harrier, i orders some bits & bob’s from them a while ago.

Still arguing with myself over whether I need some newt trainers that are a super bargain.

jda, sounds annoying, sorry I don’t know the full circs but do know that in this area this Police will record the position and code of a key safe on addresses where vulnerable people live. Then if they do get called out again they can use the key rather than caise damage and expense.

No newts here today. I've been wracking my brain, but I don't think there are. Not yet anyway

Choosinator comes from the book group thread (I believe).

I did a WhatsApp video call from my Mum’s so she could see Mrs D and the children. She was so happy to see them.

Well, I’ve done it before but I can’t remember when, Christmas I think. Because of Mum’s dementia it was definitely a newt for her!

Another little newt: I wore my newt leggings for yoga :)

About This Thread

Maintained by Sharkie
starblackheartstar The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring starblackheartstar

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
