I've played it down but I really am getting sick of it!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-41113861173241822202020-09-02T16:15:52.132+01:002020-09-02T16:15:52.132+01:00great news on fixing the phone cheap.

Maybe just say, "since I'm retired and in and out and different times of the day now, could you make sure you keep my driveway open?"One Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00369132659573259613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-21749350520167289682020-09-02T15:21:44.984+01:002020-09-02T15:21:44.984+01:00Ha ha, how many of us are like your husband?

I suppose I've been muttering to myself for so long that when it finally comes out of my mouth it's pretty apt and to the point!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-88157403711925303202020-09-02T15:09:51.474+01:002020-09-02T15:09:51.474+01:00Well done on the battery!

My husband gets annoyed if someone parks on the curb to our yard, let alone if someone parked across our driveway. He would have gone batty, but then face to face would be super nice.

I don't want to make problems because we have always got along but it's starting to piss me off now.

I think people maybe are trying to get me to buy something out of date when it comes to phones. In my house I went ballistic and laid down on the horn often. One woman came out of the house next door and told me her daughter would be out in a minute, that she was changing a diaper. They always had an excuse. Blocking a driveway is a towable offense, but I hated to go there. I should have.

As for my gardener, the French are generally not fat (although it is coming). He just shocks me because of the size of him, but more importantly since belly fat is supposed to be a very big risk factor for heart disease. Then as I say a physical job and it's not encouraging!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-89785088147271338722020-09-01T23:08:46.446+01:002020-09-01T23:08:46.446+01:00Ha ha, I'm a Libran so you're bang on abou...Ha ha, I'm a Libran so you're bang on about the "making a decision" business. I actually don't know anything about phones so I tend to be easily led.

But more and more I wonder. Like I said, to park on public parking he would have to move maybe another 3 metres!Treadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613671137557939083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674486998769998428.post-80226911147030759932020-09-01T22:04:42.986+01:002020-09-01T22:04:42.986+01:00I usually keep a phone for 4 years and then get a ...I usually keep a phone for 4 years and then get a new one. I have T-Mobile as a provider, no contract, and since I work for a monster home improvement retailer I get a discount on my monthly payment. <br />Also, working where I do, I've seen a number of people with bellies like that.

The best part isn't that you didn't have to put out the money for a new one, it's that you didn't have to make a decision as to which one, etc. So good for you!
