h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

hi gary
-
ive lived in my house since i came back to bradford in 1980.
-
it was my sisters house till she died in 2003.
-
it was a tip of sorts till the housing did a full refurb on it in 2008.
-
ive still things need to be done or redone.marks on walls, slates on roof to replace again.
-
with the wind getting up more, with my luck a few more slates will come adrift lol jimbob

Ive been in my house since 1991. Nuff said

Ive been burgled 4 times. Suffered a messy divorce and many many problems with the kids and Im now in a rough relationship. I often think that I should have stayed in Birmingham 30 years ago and not got married in the first place.

hi helen
-
my life didnt turn round till i came back to bradford in 1980, then it went downhill when my sister took in rats in 1995.
-
as you know he got married in jan this year, so now im my own boss and person now.
-
looks like the london trip is on hold, to cold, and the weather as got to my back, even earlier this time. will have to rethink to warmer times. so usual xmas dinner again lol jimbob xx

Helen,,,,,aint ya been out then since 91 ???...lol.......Jim,,,,oh,,,blame the old "sheffield" eh ????..lol....

hi gary
-
my problems started well before sheffield, as far back as when i lived at manchester.
-
sheffield wasnt to bad, it was the work situation, strikes and redundanceys that made me move to barnsley. then the last job being connected with meadowhall.

hi all
-

-

Helen,,,,,,,at least ya got friends in here.......we all av probs,,,,I'd be writing for hours explainin my probs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Jim,,,,,,,nah,Im the unlucky 1,I'd lose in a 2 horse race,by a gnats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

I would be writing for days, not hours

hi all
-
its not only sinus, its congestion as well, so docs given me cogest tabs to take three times a day, and cream to use in the nose that should settle the flamed area.
-
there is no b and b near where denise lives, only the premier inn, and its arouund £160 for three nights. so another boot up the jacksey.
-
if i can sort something for when it gets warm, it would be handy if i knew anyone to stay with in the area, but i dont, i would have payed my way, upto £50 or £60, jimbob.

You will have to look on some websites when you get a chance. Or maybe Denise will know a cheaper solution

hi helen
-
i was thinking on the lines of a y,m,c,a, type of place. but probably to old for anything like them. jimbob x

Were you in the forces? Im sure there is some club that you can go to and get things dirt cheap. I will have to ask my friend from church. He used to go there a lot till he became ill.

hi helen
-
i was for a short time in 1966, till mother had her bad heart attacks, and i did join the british legion at the time.
-
will have to see where the one is in bradford jimbob xx

the British Legion might know of somewhere.

hi helen
-
there is no rush for now, health with bad weather, and last nights frost didnt help.
-
maybe when its warmer, around april or may time.
-
my niece is thinking on the lines of coming back to bradford, her health is getting bad, and the doc said the salty,sea air, is causing the coughing she gets, with the rainers decease.
-
so ive called at mates for his t and a papers he has, and found the sections for houses for sale,and will post them off tomz to them.

We took our dog to the vets the other night. She is old and arthritic but still insists on hobbling up the stairs.
The vet said that we either had to get a stannah fitted or move into a bungalow. I hope he was joking.

If I were to do that, it would be for my old arthritic bones, not the dogs

hi helen
-
when we had our mongrel,sonny, he lived till 12 in our years, and he was the same.
-
or the last week, till he could not get up off the carpet, he would bark to go out, and when he came back, as the dyas went on, e would sway side to side at the back.
-
we didnt want to let him out, but he would bark the place down, and whine.
-
fter a week, i had to tak my sister into getting the vet, i got home from w@rk, the collar was on the sideboard. and a bill for £20, all that we had of him.
-
i cant even find any photos of him, and we had some taken over the 12 years.
-
jimbob xx

We have loads of photos.

She has to go for a check up every 2 months. He gives her the once over and tops up her tablets. Usually he just feels her bones to see how bad they are getting and then weighs her. This time, he listened to her heart. He has never used a stethoscope on her before.
She was 13 about a month ago.
