Thanks Audrey for sharing ... :?

I had to fill in a LD supplimentary questionnaire for S to have a bus pass. It was highly intrusive and personal I felt ... seems that if you are a carer or a caree ... you have no privacy. :roll: :x

Does your private jet run on unleaded?!

:? Actually I went out in the rolls for a changed today it does quite well to the gallon
of petrol about 12 miles so only needed to fill up just the once as it has a 30 gallon tank
and @ £6.50 a gallon I think that's quite good as it only cost £200.to fill her up.
and it was such a nice day . lunch was only £60 for the two of us plus extra's
And we got home about 4pm so really the day out only cost me £ 400.05 :? :wink:

Well, you know what it's like, Aud, once that Sun reporter got hold of the tapes there was no hiding the fact, it was all on display. Literally.

And poor old you, having to pay a butler for a massage :shock: , I suppose it happens to all of us eventually :( .

Speak for yourself, Audrey, I don't need a free bus pass, why would I need a bus pass when ferretrider takes me everywhere on his crossbar?

Audrey - is your private jet tax deductable? Do Her Majesty's 'Grabalot' Department know about this?

Without giving away any Personal or Important info about myself......such as who I am, where I am, how much money I have, what I drive, eat for lunch etc.....I'd like some advice please.........does anyone know where I could buy a compass? I don't want to trek 25 yards north when I wanted to go south :?

I would have got the one from argos but the reviews are not at all good.

I am afraid that none of us are experts on compasses, we are carers for goodness sake, not Artic Explorers :roll: , I can only suggest that you contact a Compass Consumer Rights Organisation!

You want a compass, eh? Hmmm, where are you going, when are you going, who are you going with, when will you actually change direction, where will you put your compass, in your hand or in your pocket or in your car or attached to your motorbike handlebars? ..........................

No, no, no, Cheryl, DON'T tell me.

We found ours in a camping shop. We used it when we went house-hunting to see which way a house and garden faced. Try a camping/caravanning shop. Or do a search for compass suppliers in your area. Or, try that 'on-line' auction site - you'll find one on there I bet.
