    Solar panels

    Daughters new house has solar panels over the back of the roof and it seems pigeons have found it a ideal place to nest under them , I am thinking i just need a roofer and put chicken wire round the outside of the panels is it just that simple ?.
  4. They are all at it that Scottish lesbian leader of the conservatives , she did it them came back to a seat in the house of lords Thats the problem they all see themselves as celebrities and are doing nothing wrong
  5. Years ago probably a crew started asking for donations and it worked well , then somebody saw a opening formed a committee and gets a wage from it just for shuffling papers and now the money wont be getting to where its meant too
  6. My daughter and her mate did a year in a aids orphanage in Jo'berg and the wife and son spent a month out there to see her she said dad its funny watching mum check her bed every night LOL
  7. The couple next door don't speak to there eldest daughter as she was deep in debt and they took out a loan to clear it and she did exactly the same thing again . I would hope mine would of had more sense . Saying that when my sons girlfriend had my grandson he stepped up to the mark bought a house works every shift offered and does all the jobs in the house and while we helped with the deposit . Now we just babysit when he needs up to save child minder fees , It means you now got to plan your life round babysitting some weeks we get him every day others we hardly see him , Then the mobile goes at 8am and it Hi Pal what you doing today i have been offered another shift or so and so hasn't turned in i am get there shift . But you would never knock back babysitting to help your kids earn extra cash
  8. Yes i must of had 12 packets of cup a soup and worked threw 2020 , then 2021 and now nearly finished 2023 , same with those 3 in a packet coffee sachets ( milk , sugar and coffee ) I struggled to think that a large university that was taking in students or guest had no food premises open after 9 pm . Best one was though i was booking somebody in and he asked where's the hotel ?. i said hotel your booked into student halls two sweary words and that was the last i saw of him
  9. 3 stars it was a big old country house over 300 years old needs a few bob spent on it or it would be 5star

Wish they had a cold vaccine every time the 3 year old grandson gets dropped off he's got a runny nose and Oh he's got a cold next thing the wife and i are coughing LOL cant wait till he starts nursery in the new year the illness he will bring back
  11. Do expiry dates mean anything these days on some food they will talking meat perishables but dry stuff could last for ever look at dried war rationing stuff anyway after a year off on the sick awaiting ill health retirement at work i got my date the last day of last year and i went in and cleared out my locker and working in security and doing shifts when nothing was open i had acquired a fair bit of dried food so i have been drinking cup a soups , pot noodles etc at lunch time till kids picked up they where out of date still tasted fine too me but they where a year out of date
  12. Im going for my fourth covid injection on Tuesday and i was thinking hard about it as my wife's joints and mine are sore and that can be a effect of the injection , Then the daughter chirps in "Dad its a live virus you need to drink at least 5 litres of water after being injected ". I said 5 litres i couldn't manage that " Dad you need to drink till you feel you need a riddle . At 61 that seem any time after i go to bed 12.00 , 02.00 04.00 and 06.00 am are the faverouites them i get a good sleep till 09.00 am
  13. See my views are the kids are going to get my money anyway so i would sooner give them it now when they needed it rather for them to wait till I'm died and they are deeper in debt i would never say my kids wouldn't do that as common sense isn't as common as you would think Maybe with the intrest rate rise our savings might be worth a bit more too ?.
  14. When i work at the university a lady owner of a smallholding i control the rabbits on was collecting for the RLNI that's her thing she's out in all weathers everywhere and i thought she was just a lady gardener
  15. No but there was a new retirement home next to Friars Carse and they wouldn't take her either , Saying that we have been married 41 years she's like a Armchair comfy and in the corner
  16. I was going to say it cant be helped but it can daughters 30 travels all over sorting out pubs for her company , She's sorted this one out over 3 hrs from home and now she's over 8 months pregnant wants to be near her mum for the baby which i get . The company was great to her after asking her to go to a certain area and bring a pub up to scratch they pay her house and a flat rate for bills the nice thing was she said i have found a one bedroom flat in a complex they said we asked you to move up there away from family and friends so there a 3 bed house there take that and it will let folk stay over when they visit . But she's not been daft all the time she has been a manager for this company she has put the money she would of spent on a mortgage away so there's a contagiously fund in place and after her years maternity leave if she cant get a job near home she will rent it out
  17. A pal puts his chickens into his greenhouse after the growing season
  18. But to value a house at 200k then the asking price is 225k you only get a mortgage for what its worth the rest must come from savings . We put a few offers in for houses well above the asking price only to get a phone call stating they had 5 offers above ours . So how come 2 weeks later the houses are back up on offer and one was for sale at a fixed price well below the last asking price
  19. I love going into the cafe at the St James Centre Perth nice beaky tea and toast something like £7.99 but they close at 2pm for some reason and try to stop serving hot food before that
  20. Just outside Dumfries I didn't think it was too bad so i didn't want to name it . The wife was born there 60 years ago i just wanted too return her LOL
  21. My daughter lives over 3 hours away and has decided its time to move nearer home a house 2 doors down across the road came on the market , she explained she was 8 months pregnant and couldn't get down till the Saturday fine the booked her in for a viewing as the closing date was more than 2 weeks away , She's gets down on the Saturday gets a phone call its sold i went to see the daughter of the old lady who died there and she said if i had know you could of had it estate agents accepted first offer . Two week goes by a house 5 streets down comes up threw same company she phoned explained circumstances and got a viewing for the weekend coming home one night we aw a for sale notice on it and got her to call estate agent they had accepted first offer again and never thought to phone her . They asked her if she would like them to send her details of similar houses in this area " yes please " she was looking at 3/4 bedroom houses in this area they sent her details of a 1 bedroom flat 20 miles away LOL . Now the house next to the first one comes up for sale old lady dies daughter speaks to my wife we get the keys daughter gets a viewing then the home report its valued £185 '000 Now i don't think this is the estate agent just greed they told us next door went for £215'000 they want the same despite next door being bigger and all done up new roof ETC £30.0000 over value so it goes to viewing and there are just a couple > So son in law phones phone estate agents to offer £210.000 to be told you havent viewed it i cant take your offer Said tell Mrs So an so the vender of my offer . One week later daughter hears nothing a bigger 4 bed comes up over the back mum and brother do a video link viewing with daughter offers over £250 .000 offered a bit more 20 minutes goes by gets a phone call you just bought a house . Then the daughter of the lady across the road texts the daughter to ask if she wants to put a offer in for our house she tells her we offered you £210.000 but nobody got back to us so i one two streets up Oh the estate agents didnt say . Is it just this company of cowboys are they all like that folk will always buy houses so we can do what we want This other couple and there estate agents have been great only thing i know they moved out yesterday handed the keys in at 9.00am and everythings been done and i am still waiting on a call to pick them up at 2.30pm
