Just wondering if there was any animal husbandry or veterinary nurse courses at Falmouth/Penryn University? Must say I miss work at times, especially in the winter. Took early retirement to come down to Cornwall and help look after my little Granddaughters, also have 90 year old mother so bit tied now.
Another thought was, do you like dogs? The Cinnamon Trust are always looking for people to take out dogs for walks who have sick/disabled owners who cannot take them themselves, I know it’s not a job but would get you out of the house?

There are quite a few animal based courses at Penryn. I’ll take a look and see if any appeal to me. I have looked into the Cinnamon Trust before, but something about the application form put me off. Will have another look through, however.
 
I volunteered for a while when I first left work, why I adopted my last boys as fell in love. Then adopted my Rupert from the same place.
It can be hard with animal care, I've been trying to get into it. I'm not allowed to drive and obviously they need to be in a suitable, lots of area, kind of place. So not accessible sometimes. Well for me anyway, not sure if same for you.

Trouble with living in Cornwall is that most animal places are out in the middle of nowhere, which means that I’d have to drive or live near to somewhere.

Get a mo ped with a L plate if possible 👍. Fuel lasts ages. Sorry lol just an idea
 
Yes, the only small animal sanctuary is the one at Probus and that’s out in a village miles away above Truro. The Seal Sanctuary is miles away in the other direction again in a village, buses are almost none existent! It’s a real problem getting around Cornwall unless you can drive, do feel for you x

It's very annoying! Not a good plan with me either as closest training place miles away, I'd have to catch a bus at stupid o'clock in the morning, be out of the house for blooming hours. Not good with my health etc. Would hate to have a seizure and get stuck in the next county and try and get home! God knows who'd look after me or the pets stuck at home without me around!

Definitely no mopeds for a epileptic like me either! Well not safely or legally anyway!
 
Honestly it doesnt take much to wipe round the loo or the bath or sink once you've used it does it? I have just spent a good half hour in the bathroom cleaning it! I never use the bathroom as I have an ensuite and a downstairs loo. Only my sons use the bathroom. At least it is lovely and clean and hygienic now including the floor which I got down on my hands and knees to clean with a bucket full of F10, hot water and a cloth (yes it was THAT bad!). I only cleaned it last week but it didn't look like it had been cleaned in a whole year. I didn't think I'd brought my boys up to be messy and disgusting .........
 
🤢. My workmate pees all over the hotel room seat and denies it lol , ok who else done it?

Mmmm, are they teenagers? My sons socks used to be the worst, used to go on hunts to find them to abolish that awful smell!
 
My chemist & Drs drive me mad. I have to take about 20 tablets a day, 4 of those are so tiny I break them & end up short at the end of the month. The Dr says the chemist will give me bottles, the chemist says the dr with get them organised & so it goes on!

One is 16 and the other should know better he's 25 next month and looking for a house. He came home after Uni to do his ACA Accountancy exams. Now he has passed them all he just needs to move out!
 
Yes, and once he’s moved out and got his own place, you’ll see a complete change! House will be spotless and YOU will be made to take your shoes off and NOT make any crumbs! Mine has turned into a right jobsworth and clean freak 😆
 
Don’t get me going about unisex loos, got them at the beach now in Falmouth! And it’s not just standalone loos were you step in from the pavement, you have to walk inside and everyone queues. Can’t imagine what it will be like in summer, bad enough now, sorry boys but you are not very accurate with your aim 🤭

Can't see that happening! My middle son is completely different from the other 2. He is the tidy and superclean one. His student house is spotless! I have brought them all up the same. Eldest son's room at Uni was completely disgusting and it took him over a week to clean it when he moved out. It then took me and his Dad several hours to get it back to how it was when he moved in and it was only a very small room.

Mine used have stick all his half eaten pizza boxes, curry takeaways and dirty plates and cups under the bed! That was his idea of cleaning his room. We used to have to go on a “cup hunt” every now and then because we would run out of cups or glasses. Socks and trainers were a nightmare, makes me laugh when he now complains how untidy his girls are because they haven’t tidied the Lego or dolls away, what a joke!

I'd be telling his girls how disgusting he was!
 
Today I would like to rant about the fact that my dairy food intolerance seems to have turned into a full blown scary food allergy. Previously I was fine with a bit of cheese just not with a lot of dairy or with milk or cream. The last twice I had a splash of milk in a coffee plus a cheese croissant or muffin I got awful indigestion and vomited a lot... I hoped it wasnt food related! Today the same happened plus a scary rash that started on my face then spread all over my neck and chest and arms then I got all flu like symptoms. Then I vomited everything up and was ok again in an hour. Think I'm going to have to be vegan which is of course ethically fantastic but makes me a bit sad because I really like a bit of cheese... and I really hate people like my mother in law who fake food intolerances and allergies to try and be fashionable... everyone will think thats what I'm doing but its really true!

Have you tried goats milk, I used to feed my son with it when he was little as he was poorly with cows milk and cheeses etc He was absolutely fine with goats milk?
 
I used to be ok with goats milk, was more convenient when my in-laws had a dairy goat farm! I dont eat much dairy at home anyway, its more the not being able to grab a coffee and breakfast sandwich at work that I'll miss... especially at work, trying to give a lecture while I was bloating up and going all blotchy and sweaty and trying not to vomit was no fun at all :(

What a shame :(:(:(
 
Ooh, now that would be horrible. When I used to teach ICT at night school I remember one night I had an iffy tummy and having to lean over people sat using the computer. Pew, it was touch and go, couldn’t wait for class to finish and get home!

Yes, difficult, I would just miss cheese so much too.
 
I dread being seen as the food freak weirdo who is just being difficult on purpose... once in the campus coffee shop I remember queueing behind a guy who demanded to know which foods were "vegan, gluten free, and nut free" which obviously wasnt anything. Then he read all the labels and tsked and tutted a lot. There were 11 people queueing behind him. Surely if he really couldnt eat gluten or nuts and was also vegan he'd have brought his own rice and lentil salad and just ordered juice or a black coffee?
