My grump today is : I am waiting for a parcel delivery, OH was out SM shopping so I thought I would use the time to do a small repair job. I got out a two part wood filler, made some up as instructed, you are supposed to get 30 minutes working time before it sets. The job was small so I had some other bits from my Lemon cage frame that needed filling too. Well I barely got the stuff into the holes on the first job before I could tell it was setting fast. No chance of using it up on anything else 30 minutes working time my eye, more like 5.
Chuck the excess filler in the fridge next time and that should slow down the reaction a bit. In warm weather like this it's bound to go off more quickly.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

Trouble is this stuff stinks, there is no way I would risk putting it in the fridge, even inside a plastic bag. I did the job while OH was out deliberately because fumes from this kind of thing really have an adverse effect on her.

Going back to the bags problem, I had my purse/credit cards etc stolen out of my backpack in the supermarket once. I had one because I had shoulder problems. The thief managed to spend nearly £1000 in three shops in under a half an hour, goodness know how, as this was in the days when you had to tap in your pin number.
Be warned. The number of women I see who have backbacks, cross body bags etc who don't even bother to zip them up properly astounds me.
How does your bumbag do up around you, @Dovefromabove? I have one, but it has a simple clip (like on a rucksack strap) rather than a buckle, to fasten it round my waist, so it would be easy for someone to come up behind me and unclip it...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
@Liriodendron 😊 The clip is on an elastic bit which is within a ‘sleeve’ … you can’t see it … you have to pull it out of the sleeve to see the clip and undo it. You also have to squeeze the clip to undo it so you have to be familiar with how it works. And the fastening is at my front along with the purse bit … and always under at least one layer of my clothing.

@lizzie27, I’m not sure of this but I think hardly anyone carries cash these days and (but not for me) credit and debit cards are less popular because people pay for goods using their mobile phones. As many phones can only be operated by facial or fingerprint recognition a thief stealing a bag or things from a bag would be getting almost worthless plunder.
