pumpkinjam I'm usually well prepared for Chrismtas. Not this year! I'm still waiting for the arrival of a few things I ordered. I'm having to send my sons to deliver Chrismtas presents, and I don't think I'll be seeing any family until after Christmas (we usually have a...

Sometimes the nonchalance my sister and brother-in-law have about throwing food away just really gets under my skin. Not only is it ignorant, in my opinion of course, and I don't mean that in a mean way, to throw food away, it's a...

pumpkinjam I understand your frustration. We do, on occasion, throw away food but that's only if it's leftover leftovers that have begun to grow new life on them! If I have anything left after a meal (a rare thing with a household of four adults, two of whom are of the...

pumpkinjam No, I wouldn't. I keep getting offers from them. I bought something from Temu once. I've had so much spam from them. I find it weird because a lot of them are emails saying they're apologising for delays or mistakes or something, despite me not actually...

pumpkinjam @aureategloom I always have done and always will. He's done lots of amateur shows. He had an audition for a BBC show. Sadly, he didn't get it but he did well to get as far as he did. His one professional job was a monster in a Halloween maze that was done in a...

pumpkinjam It has been interesting so far. Watching your kid in a play really depends on the kid and the play My youngest is 19. He's wanted to be an actor since forever. He's even made people actually want to watch school nativity plays

pumpkinjam There are a lot of esseseseses That reminds me of a song called 'I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas'. It's a very silly song, which I think would amuse you. I think there were supposed to be fireworks for the light switch-on. They got cancelled...

pumpkinjam A fayre might also be a fair. We tend to use fayre for a fete or gathering of stalls whereas we'd use fair more for a funfair with rides or a carnival.

This article keeps turning up on my computer feed about a banana duct-taped to a wall (considered "art") that sold for six point two million dollars. Really!?!? Of all the ridiculous things. If I had that kind of money,...

pumpkinjam This is a prime example of someone having more money than sense. I wonder if that was the artist's point - proving that people will buy anything if they're told it's art. I certainly wouldn't buy anything like that if I had that kind of money. I'd sooner buy...

I have been hearing complaints, the last couple of weeks, about all the Christmas music in November. Some say Christmas music should start in December. Some say it should only be played the week of Christmas. For me, I have no...

pumpkinjam I've been known to listen to Christmas music in July I don't mind it in November but can understanding, if played too often, that it becomes more of an annoyance than the joyful fun it's meant to be.

pumpkinjam My Christmases have never been extravagant but I did simplify. I used to rush around trying to see everyone, getting my children ready and then hardly having time to really enjoy anything. For years now, my Christmas has been a Chrismtas Day at home where all...

pumpkinjam I do like challenges but it depends on the challenge Everyone handles different challenges in different ways. The main problem I've had with challenges is when there are multiple, sometimes unexpected, ones at the same time.

pumpkinjam Computing 101 - turn it off and on again! If that doesn't work, I'll have a look in the settings or check if the problem is with the computer or something else (e.g. a website or a connected device). At my old job, I'd often get asked to check IT stuff. The...
