No available slots

Posted on March 24, 2020 by I'M Still me.....

My online supermarket of choice is Waitrose. That’s not because I’m terribly middle class, or is it? Only my friends and nearest and dearest can say if that’s true. I have been shopping online for many years and I’ve always … Continue reading →

Posted on March 13, 2020 by I'M Still me.....

Posted on March 5, 2020 by I'M Still me.....

I never knew much about Priti Patel until she came up in the news recently regarding the allegations of her bullying civil servants within the Cabinet offices. Some of the accusations sound, on paper, very unpleasant. Her staff seem to … Continue reading →
