What is my punishment, do you reckon? I have already had to resign from something for driving 16 miles to drop the shopping off. Now I need a forfeit for shopping for both of our parents for the first time ever. I am a bad man.
People must have finally cottoned on then as there were shed loads a few days ago whilst normal stuff was stripped bare. I did list the weird contradictions I saw the other day - this was one. No pasta but loads of microwaveable pasta. No eggs but loads of pickled eggs. No sliced bread but loads...
If you want to fix a relative's computer without visiting, you can run software called Teamviewer that is free for personal use and allows you to control the computer remotely. This allowed me to install 20 games that appeal to the older generation. A bit like Where's Wally, you are given a list...
