Good morning, here.
This morning will see us well into our Boris Break, 3 glorious months, 12 weeks, 84 days, of self isolation confined to the house, no contact with the outside world, well not exactly thanks to this virtual technology we can speak to each other and share our tit bits in life.
What I have in mind with the start of this thread is to have an ongoing page for the duration of our Boris Break where we can come on here and
tell of some good news,
fume at the letter with bad news,
a new flower in the garden, anything that brought a smile to your face,
annoyed you,
made you to lose your temper,
the telephone call from a small child or a long lost friend.
Acknowledge an act of kindness you've received.
or the scam phone call telling you that your broadband is going down.
What you think about the hoarders, when you need some milk, bread and the essentials and can't get an online delivery slot.
Ask a question.
If you've something to share this is the place to bring it to.
I think - hope - that you can see where I'm going with this as an outlet to share a small bit of your day with the rest of us.
Not intended to be a discussion just a place where you come on to tell others that you're feeling good or you're feeling like sh** or cr## and want to get it off your chest. We may not like our Boris Break but we can make the time pass by posting our Tit Bits, on this page which I have headed up Our daily Boris Break Tit-Bits, so what about it, will you join by posting your daily, hourly events that have crossed your day and sharing the good and the not so good with each other.
Could I kick this off, just spotted on eBay Andrex Classic Clean Toilet Roll, 4 rolls - White for £12.50 plus £2.90 postage.
To make it easy I will refresh the page daily to bring it back to the top.
Looking forward to reading your stories, incidentally how many remember the weekly magazine printed on cheap paper until 1984 that was a mini encyclopedia of human interest stories.
How many of you will be enjoying your morning coffee the same as me at 11 am.

Good morning
Thought I'd start the morning off by sharing the above notice I received from Acton Fraud with the following current scams circulating
CORONAVIRUS scams increase b y 400% in March
Online shopping scams where people have ordered protective face masks, hand sanitiser and other products, which have never arrived
We all gayly go through life thinking "I'm too savvy it wouldn't happen to me what type of person would be taken in etc etc"
Let me tell you the sort of person who can be taken in.
I was outside yesterday taking advantage of my permitted time outside when my neighbour came out, normally a very bright sprightly lady in her late 80's very independent, always asking if she can do anything for me, do my shopping, drive me to hospital appointments etc. Anyway yesterday when she came out she was very distraught, just wandering about the garden muttering to herself just not her usual self and seemed oblivious to the fact I was there after a while I caught her attention and asked her if anything was the matter when she just blurted out "I'm such an old fool, I've lost all my savings somebody's emptied my bank account there's nothing left.
Current advice was thrown out the window I broke the two meter rule and went to her and hugged her whilst she cried her eyes out, we had a cup of tea and she told me that she received a phone call from her "bank" saying her accounts had been breached and an investigation was underway but they needed some information from her to verify her accounts which she gave and thought no more about it until yesterday when she received another call from her bank telling her that large sums of money had been withdrawn from her account overnight and there wasn't enough funds in her account to cover upcoming direct debits, this was her real bank the other call had been made a few weeks ago from scammers who waited for the opportunity to strike. The police were alerted but it looks like she lost everything.
So we ask ourselves again What sort of person would be taken in, simply "a very bright sprightly old lady in her late 80's very independent and lives next door to you"
Just a reminder to keep safe, be alert, be a doubting Thomas and something doesn't sound right or sounds too good to be true, it usually isn't. Be extra vigilant, if in any doubt put the phone down and don't touch it again for at least an hour and then only to phone a number that you will recognise the person who will answer, not the the number you've been given by the scammers.
I hope that you all manage to have a good day, have a virtual meet up with the family or speak to family and friends on the phone, remember we are British, we are survivors we will come through our Boris Break and one day the supermarket shelves will be full of special offers and life goes on but maybe not as we've known it.
Keep safe.

Did you remember to set your clocks forward an hour this morning? We may have lost an extra hour in bed, but gained a very welcome extra hour of sunlight in the evenings.
What’s your favourite thing about spring?

Lol Ian it would make very good hand sanitiser.......... Brewdog are doing the same so I use their version.
Hi
I love the term 3rd nipple 
I call mine the spout and the other bits that make noises my pipes , I havnt really got a proper name for it though I know some people do , but I just prefer the spout although I like the 3rd nipp mines a bit large for a nipple!!!
Love Peacock62 xxx
Hi Peacock62
Definitely best to name it I think as I definitely see more of it than my family in the current climate.......
As for the noises I didn't expect so many but definitely abit surreal especially when i was out prior to the shutdown. How do you actually cope with having a stoma for me I was more worried about having one when I had the tumor removed and as my 3rd nipple was an emergency one I spose not much time to think about it so I got my head around it alot quicker.
Still not too sure on if it's going to be temporary or permanent just depends on the resection again and wether once done it can cope with everything and not cause a further blockage.
Stay safe
Mark
