Just cannot wait to be shot of them now. The sad thing is Bow started swimming lessons at 5 months old, but 14 years of loyalty is worth nothing to them. The centre admin used to be a bit chaotic but human, and good value. Then a few years ago GLL/Better took over and the whole required direct debit thing started. They charge all year regardless of school holidays etc so are making a mint from the fact that most people simply can't attend all the lessons they've paid for. And now this. The teachers, many of whom have been there all this time, are generally excellent and still human (and roll their eyes at the hoops we have to jump through). But actually getting the kids to the teachers for the lessons is fraught with problems and rip offs.
Right, I'll shut up about it now. Sorry.

Dove, I can’t say that we can smell a Eucalytpus-like odour when we burn them. All the smoke goes up the chimney and the fire box is enclosed with a glass door. Also, the trees we cut have been dead so long, there’s probably not much eucalyptus smell left. Usually stronger in leaves and green wood.
Just checking in... Hope the hospital tests weren’t too horrible @punkdoc I have had an MRI, tilt-table test and hand EMG this year - all were pretty horrible in their own way but top prize goes to the tilt-table which was awful! Too rainy to contemplate any garden stuff today (typical as day off!) so going to sort my coat wardrobe out (woohoo!) and clean hob (use baby oil on the stainless steel splash back - very therapeutic and smells delish).
Hi Debbi, I only have energy for one chatty forum but I know many Forkers do both

LG Would Trading Standards help? Or a letter to your local paper? Pat what wood is hubby cutting, doesn’t look like eucalyptus. I remember we used to get malee roots Aunty can’t imagine a tilt table, arggggh Hosta is your sister away? Hope you had fun Joyce I hope you are right! I have decided where to put my new rose,due any day, and so have been clearing the site. Went to look at the fruit cage and the b..... weeds have come up again. Why are weeds such prolific growers.

Don't feel any different, yet, @Lilly Pilly. Trying to be positive, not all that successfully though.
OH is very fed up, she could not have done anymore for this firm, and I think they just assumed that she would stay in her old job, but she won't give them the satisfaction.
Very wet here, and weather looks bad for several days. I have so much to do and I work so slowly now, never mind, still love it.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Pouring with rain, so curling up with a book afternoon.

Raining here again too ... drizzle rather than pouring, but as OH is out on his bike we can expect The Deluge shortly ... an indoor afternoon here too
