Radio looks a better bet.....
I already waste too much time on radio with all the side projects I have going on....
I'll think about it..
too complex:laugh:
Build a line connecting your chair to the kitchen. That way you'll not have to move as much. Food and drink is sent in on the "Mhor Express", with everything going back when finished with...
T'ain't too hard, and you'd have fun(be it on the radio or the train).

Too much of a rise up to the shack, sadly.
More a coffee machine and wee fridge would be handier..
I tossed one of those Coke can fridges out a few years ago, it had been one of the kids but had been lying a fair time without use...
takes only a min or two to get coffee...
badly need a new chair as this one is 'peeling',
seat cushion has kinda collapsed as well.

Just saw an advert for a charity on't telly.
You have the option to text a 'word' to a 'number' but this means you are agreeing to future marketing and donation type thing. If you just want to donate, you have to then text after donating and use a STOP??' to stop them contacting you.
What happened to you donating something then no contact.....

Spiral "stairway", about 18" in diameter and you'd be able to take it up a floor.
You need one of those chairs with those items built in.
Some of them can fetch a fair price these days. Where'd you dump it?
A bit of cleaning with baking soda will get rid of any smell.
I'd say you replace the chair first, what'll happen if the spring snaps and goes upward, whilst you're sat on it!

They'll continue taking yer money, don't worry. You'll just have trouble stopping any money going out should you decide to stop.
They want to keep you on their books, just in case anything further crops up.

I'd a pal who had all sorts of calls asking to donate, dog charity and he was a dog person...
If I do, I just donate anon and avoid any info crossing..
we have had a spate 12 months ago of cold calling.
same gang, different charity every week
Polite refusal...to which some clown snarkily asked 'do you not like dogs?'
'not particularly and now 8888 off'

Think Plod eventually got on to them.....

It's in landfill somewhere..
I'm a whiz with baking soda etc..
reminds me some domestics due to be done...

They get yer details they're fast enough at sharing them. Even when they shouldn't.
Money in the collection tin and not monthly.
I'm not too bad, my number is protected from those type of calls. No number left on the system , the call isn't connected.
Think I'd have told them to do more than 8888 off.

Hopefully someone they called got them before plod.

No chance of getting it back then.
Doing what though!
Don't delay...

If our house phone rings, it's who's that?
three people use it....

problem now is too many companies etc have far too slack security on their servers containing customers details..
financial penalties are too soft so they just take a risk with it...

Just playing radio instead....

And you're above flood level anyway?
Wait until they release water elsewhere.

House phone goes during the day, it's a similar answer from missen.
Evening/night it tends to be relatives abroad phoning the landline.

And everyone wants yer details when you buy something, for security purposes!
Some of the larger shops being the worst offenders. Although the local hospital still uses http links for appointments and other private details.

Owt good on it today?

Think there was a burn ran through this area before being built on, not big though.
We do have a small reservoir high above us (over a mile away)
Think the main river wouldn't get near here..

Money can be made selling details....
Lots of dodgy dealings esp yon yankee mob who does stuff for the NHS....
Everything 'smart' is listening...
If Sammy want to try sell or make sense of what I watch on their telly, go ahead..

I don't need any Smart devices or Google, I've got Mrs M..
I get the answer AND an opinion:laugh:
Beat that Mr Google

There's a brook on one side of this spur, and a beck on the other. Beck runs into Brook about 300 yards away. Two reservoirs higher up, which Yorkshire Water send yearly reminders out for, telling us what we should do in case either or both fail. Houses 200 foot higher get the same warning!

I know there's money to be made from personal details. Not all to big companies either.
Club cards/loyalty cards for shops is another. Always made odd purchases when using them. Stuff that never quite went together, to keep them wondering.

Can you tell Mrs Mhor to turn the lights on or off, without getting a clip round yer lughole, though?

Had a wee trip around various shops..
and saw two what I'd call 'gully' motors cleaning out roads side drainage gullies, in two different locations...
I guess the recent storm dramas have revived the cleaning of these, I honestly cannot remember seeing this being done in this area since we moved.
My old employer literally stopped doing them after the driver retired, it was done on a continual round.

I bought an item recently and got sked about signing up to the card, lady filled it in and gave me 10% off..
Just unsubscribed from their emails....after I got a couple of vouchers :cuppa:
