Sarah,


Do you see grass snakes outside much?


Chrissy
Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

Quote from: JasmineHeart on Yesterday at 07:50:29 PMI just have to reach out to anyone who quotes Billy Connelly... Hi Sarah, terrific quote 😁, I can actually see him wearing that tea cozy 😂. This is my very first post here, so I hope I'm doing it correctly. I've made several trips to England before, staying with my family in a village north of London called Bassingbourne, and I have to say you have an amazing home. Do you find that people accept you there? JasmineHeart
Aw thanks Jasmine! Yes Billy Connolly has been a favourite of mine since the 80's!

Yeah, of course you're doing it correctly, welcome to my little space on Susans!

In terms of accepting I don't yet know as I'm still in the closet but the North East (and Newcastle in particular) is famous for being one of the most friendliest areas in Englad so I hope I will be accepted when I finally do take the plunge. There aren't many people TO accept me really, just my mum (already knows) and my dad, and one female friend. I think I might have it easy compared to some folks.

I've only been to London once when I was a kid. I've kind of avoided the place to be honest (It's not really representative of the rest of the UK) though I am feeling the urge to go on a museums and galleries whistlestop tour before long. I have never been to the British Museum before and I feel I should go before they make us send all the stuff back that we've nicked during our period of empire ha ha!

We have them but I think I've only seen one once. Ours are tiny and harmless though. I've actually seen Adders more. Adders are supposed to very rare but they are quite common in Northumberland and Scotland because it's quite remote. I've probably seen them 4 times or so while out hiking. The adder can give a nasty bite and it's natural habitat is the low heather so you can't often see them but put your foot in the wrong place and it might have a go. It is venomous but it won't kill you. They do kill dogs that get bit though. I do remember a story not so long ago about an Aussie tourist who came over and got bit and was hospitalised. The irony of that was not lost on me!

Seems a lot of us here are pretty handy really as I renovated my home to including fitting a new kitchen, extending my bathroom and fitting a shower. Electrical stuff I do within reason, though will need to remove my self fitted solar PV array and battery storage when I move due to the nanny state saying I'm not qualified, despite spending half my time at work fixing mess ups by electricians and explaining to them electrical theory which is met with blank stares. I can lose most electricians in 30 seconds by explaining not just what the electrical code is, but why its that way!

You might be able to find an electrician to certify it for you Charlotte. You can then apply for a Regularisation at Building Control to get retrospective approval and avoid having to remove it.

Its not really worth the effort for me as I've no plans to move from this house in the next 20 years or so unless repossessed then I wont care! It'll be due to come down by then anyway!

Well just been to the dentists about getting my tooth filling repaired. I haven't been to a dentists for over ten years and I need the filling repair and 1 small filling on the opposite side. I think I got off lightly treatment wise.

Where I haven't got off lightly is the private dental bill. Yikes! £684 for the initial checkup, temporary packer on the exposed cavity, 2 Xrays, the two fillings, and a dental hygienist appointment. It's just as well I have some money saved up! I'm in the wrong business!

Thats a crazy amount of money for something that you should be getting for much less. I hope you get it all sorted sometime soon as all that doesn't sound good.

It's truly a sorry state of affairs. At least the place was very nice, the dentist and his nurse were lovely and very thorough.
