I hope he calls as soon as it's done. Otherwise you will be waiting all day and that does you no good. I hate waiting for calls. Yes ...... drugs are everywhere. A drug dealer was shot dead not far from that house a week or 2 ago.

I told son to call me after he took the papers to court but....he is his fathers son! I think the drugs are everywhere now...just last week a 16 year old from town died from a overdose.

It's all this stuff on your mind ..... drives you crazy. I hope son takes the paperwork today and lets you know he's done it. Then you might get some sleep. Off to the left there's a crossroads and beyond that it was fields. It was a nice area back then but I often read about ...

If you go to Google Maps and type in 152 Blackhalve Lane, Wolverhampton .... our house was the one on the right in the picture ...... a large tree in the garden. It was a lovely house with an open fire and central heating ........ but we didn't have a fridge. My grandma bough...

When I first married I didn't have a fridge. The house had a walk-in pantry with a cold slab. Butter, cheese, milk, meat etc kept very well on the slab. Of course ....... that was well before the "eat by" markings. You used your common sense and sense of smell ...... and as ...

smell is a dead give away...and if things are sticky.

As long as the cans aren't "blown" the food should be ok. And you can smell when food is off. In my experience ..... yogurt lasts forever. I only buy natural yogurt and I've eaten it absolutely months past its date. The same with cottage cheese. Mind you ..... hubby used to sa...

I'm glad she got those eggs ...... such a shame to waste them. BJ's place still has some waste but not a mountain of it. The town has a food base to distribute free food to people in need but they won't accept anything on it's last day of shelf life. I shouldn't say this becaus...

thats great getting the items marked down like that...I told you that the Aldis store daughter works in throws everything away...so she was so shocked yesterday when they gave her a dozen organic eggs!

I appreciate it ....... and I take her bits and pieces that she can't buy locally. It's nice being known in the store as BJ's mom. BJ tells me at about midnight what's been vastly reduced and I can call the store in the morning and ask them to put things on one side for me to c...
