Dermot a little help and sympathy would have been helpful but it wasn’t forthcoming.

probably not Dermot.

florence I find that being able to converse on the internet is a boon to me with my hearing problem. I would be lost without it now as I have real trouble hearing on the phone. I only really use my phone for texting.

I blocked this “friend” on Facebook and within seconds I get a phone call asking why I had done that, I said why then said get lost, well it might not of came out as got lost but my point was made.

ZZzzzz yes it is annoying on both accounts. I have a so called friend who is always keen to ask me questions which I normally answer. However when I send a text asking something, quite often i get no reply too!!

I have been decluttering on my phone this week and have decided not to send as many texts, whattsapps and have deleted loads.
Tbh I prefer to speak to someone on the phone rather than have a conversation typing back and forth....I must be getting old lol

First is bliming cookies, I don’t want to accept them I just want to look at the site, after all you don’t have to accept them to look at the shop window.
Second is when someone asks how you got on with something, you know they have seen your message but don’t answer. Grrr.
