"more than half of UK children are unable to identify a stinging nettle"
I think our school bullies are really failing us. When I was young everyone knew what a stinging nettle looked like and everyone knew never to stand near a nettle patch when the bully was around.

God I was stupid once... Some bullies threw a mates ball into a small patch of stinging nettles, I lent down to get it before they'd gone and got pushed into it!!Stig said:"more than half of UK children are unable to identify a stinging nettle"

Putting my glass recycling out and for the first time in about five years my box doesn’t contain five or six empty vodka bottles which pleases me greatly.2

More seriously I definitely need to cut back my weeks drinking and am finding it difficult to break the habit so fantastic to hear both you’ve managed to cut back and are so happy you have.
keep on with that thought.0 - Sponsored links:

After getting £4K for a PPI claim last week, I opened the post today and had a £13.5k one. I only applied for them on the off chance as I haven’t had loans or credit cards for years, so f*****g glad I did. Still got 2 more to come as well.10

The lighter days. Snowdrops, daffodils and tulips.
When my grandfather died in 64 my poor devastated mum wore nothing but black for months on end. Then one morning I came downstairs to find her brightly clad. Seeing my surprise she said that she'd noticed the daffodils in dad's garden and it just reminded her that life goes on and it was time for her to start living again.
50 odd years later, and not a single one passed without me thinking of those few moments, as the daffodils come into flower.

The perfect cuppa. The one that's brewed just right, is the perfect temperature, the perfect splash of milk, (sugar too if you must) doesn't happen often.1

Waking up hungover and finding a whole apple crumble in the fridge. Returning to bed with said crumble. Eating it straight from the dish with ambrosia custard. The joy of discovering it was actually an apple and raspberry crumble.

It wasn't. It was apparently meant for us to have with friends we had round last night. Oops. She had to make a Chocolate Mousse for that instead. ShameMrOneLung said:

I've been dogged by my shoelace coming undone lately and due to my 'powerful' physique retying is a bit awkward in the street. Anyway, thanks to a Youtube video I've learnt a new method of tying and it works a treat.

Same problem here. Even down to the powerful physique 😀
Will try that way of tying the laces.
Oddly it’s only the right foot that comes untied and not on all of my shoes just some of them.1 -
