    Common sense has gone  out of the window. A famous Supermarket has now started calling its Gingerbread man a gingerbread person🙄 Someone remarked that they were surprised they are still calling it ginger.....that may very well offend some people😩 Gawd.....

    I am just waiting for some one to change our species from Human to Hupersons😬

    I've just had my supposed 'Annual Health Check' which the accompanying letter said was very important.  I say supposed as I didn't get my first one until I was 65 and the nurse who I saw then said I should have had one every year from age 60. I only had an invite to one other before Covid too, by which time I should have 4 more. That just about sums up our surgery, but I digress.
    At the health check my blood pressure readings were high so I was asked to do them again at home and take them in, which I did.  I received a text yesterday which simply said "X will call you on Monday about your blood pressure readings".  No time given, not even AM or PM.  The same thing happened a few months ago and when I complained they claimed it was a one off error, and they always give people a time slot.  Yeah right!  If I have a face to face GP appointment they don't say to turn up at 8:30 and sit around until the doctor is ready.

    I can confirm that Greggs are still selling gingerbread men. I can also confirm that they're pretty terrible by gingerbread men standards. :|
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I don’t think you can have a son or daughter anymore.

    Anywhere you can and as soon as possible.  No boys or girls these days,  just little people.   For all you know your little boy may secretly want to be a girl and you’ll offend him deeply if you refer to him as a boy.😉
    you know the old saying :  Children should be......  sent away at the earliest opportunity.
