So with the cold weather, and ice covering most pathways to houses and paths outside, we should all take the time to ask our elderly neighbours if they are in need of things from the shops, be it milk, or bread,. Most elderly people will be afraid to try and walk out in this weather as a risk serious to injury. All I'm saying is try to remember your neighbours in this harsh weather.

Thank you OP, appreciated.

Mmmhh...

That's quite a complicated question for me who has no clue of weights and is stuck between imperial and metric...

so em..

About the size of two bags of flour if they were mushed together.. :rolleyes:

My local Lidl had a big pallet full and everyone seemed to be buying some.

Dishwasher salt bags are fairly cheap in Tesco, I used them last year.

Can we get people on the dole to help clear roads and pathways?

You know youngfella's who've been on it for years or are just too lazy to bother trying to find work or education?

Tis a bit of an idea alright.. But at the same time if it is too come down for the week like is being predicted then I don't see much point trying to clear it.

Balfie

Is Pete alive? :rolleyes:

If old people stay in their houses over Christmas it means we have 1 or 2 more months of less prune juice, shortcut hairstyles, polyester, cardigans, brown socks, hard candy, Yarn, Jigsaw puzzles, wind chimes, Bird Feeder... :cool::cool::cool::cool:

just a bump for people that may not have seen this,

up for anything

My parents live in sort of the middle of nowhere up a big hill. The small supermarket in a village five miles away delivered groceries to them on Tuesday and then went back yesterday to take my mother some important medicine. Each time they had to abandon their van at the bottom of the hill and walk the mile up to them carrying heavy bags. The delivery chaps wouldn't even accept the money for a few drinks from them.

Kudos to Evans Centra in Kilmacthomas. You did better than good.

And remember folks when you are round the old people's house it would do no harm to check that their will is in order.
Especially if they have anything of value.............be a shame if they died and an expensive court battle ensued to fight over the legacy.
Probably better if it was all left to just one kind sole..........you know like the person who calls around to their elderly neighbours when the snow is here.
