A good tip I was given by the police internet safety, which I now pass onto my silver surfers, Have a key password, can be initial of family members say dad, mum,2 kids = dmkkk, used twice to make longer so dmkkdmkk, then a memorable date say wedding so dmkkdmkk76, that is now your key password, could be any initial, phrase etc, then to change it to each web site just add capital letter Amazon would be Admkkdmkk76, Marks and spencers would be MSdmkkdmkk76. or you could put the capital at the end, but the idea is to have a key word.

I'm expecting MrsWN to insist on having a password to access the house!
Just to show how bad it is, we keep a note for various companies but with hints. A few of the hints are:
"New Style"
"New, New Style"
"Old Style before New Style"
"Year of birth of Grandad minus the first two digits + New Style"
See why I need to standardise? Particularly when I can't remember which is New and which is New, New...🤔

Cariadon, we have already decided on something similar. I tried it on a company today once I'd located which stem I was previously using for it. Still had to amend it as there was one too many characters for that company's liking😂
Sometimes you can't win.

I washed down our garage door today. Bit of a pointless exercise as it will be as dirty as ever by the time we get back from our next trip, what with all the groundwork going on next door.

Still it will be done before you head off to the continent.

We bought some stuff to transform part of our garden yesterday....... however, looking out of the window, we won't be venturing out for a few days at the moment! We are like our East Anglian chums, not used to it being so wet. Ho hum.........
It doesn't exactly make one leap out of bed excited about getting on with some tasks or wondering where to go next this weather........

Same here TDA, except we are used to it being wet in the winter but now it seems endless. The ploughed field behind us has lost it furrows, just a quagmire. I've heard that spring barley can't be sown and no doubt maize and potatoes will be going in very late. Yesterday local farmers were talking about low yields this year due to late crops.
hey ho.....I might go into our greenhouse once more and plant a few more seeds, at least it's dry in there.

That was going to be my default, but OH is currently using it as a secondary shed (
) so I can't get in at the moment for all the tranklements that have mysteriously migrated over the Winter!OH reading Yorkshire Post farming news, and it seems lots of crops are way behind, and stock is still indoors in places, far too wet for grazing at moment. Periods like this remind me of what a mud fest owning a horse used to be at times! Mind, I still miss the old lump! We used to ride out in all weathers, if we put the right rug on him we used to turn back the front over our thighs, it was like riding a radiator after a gallop!

I know. Lots of horses around us, so muddy fields, torn rugs, all around. If our old lad got bored he'd lead the charge out of the field and then it was a general roundup to catch the so and so's. Farmer where we kept him in livery said he once saw him thundering towards a field hedge, (still in a rug at the time,) he cleared it like Red Rum, landed without mishap and just kept going! He was 25-26 years old at the time! As they say, a bit of a lad!

We have numerous livery stables around us but the horses have not been seen in the fields much lately,although some have been out as there are "signs" of them in the woods and footpaths being churned up,the Riding for Disabled have not been seen so far when out with Rosa

No, at this time of year a lot of livery stables won't be turning out, as the ground will get cut up, muddy, and then the grass won't grow! Our farm took a cut of hay in one field then turned out, and then cut hay in other field, to maximise hay take. Ponies don't want too much new grass either, it gives them a nasty condition called laminitis. It's a late turn out everywhere this year though, too much soft ground up and down country.

I'm not surprised redface. It's the Grand National this month, no doubt that will be a mud fest this year.

Far more entertaining than a Club Site OP, although less likely to see a rule transgression!

Without Malcolm's input this whole thread is pointless and could be easily sent to the bin.

It doesn't really matter that two social chat threads are available, you can post on either or none. On this thread you can be as pointless as you like and on the other thread you can talk about things that are only pointless some of the time.....
