I can't find fennel in town for love nor money, and will have to hunt for some when I go to the big city today.

Oi!  DWP.  Where's my bloody Winter Fuel Payment then?  I'd had it well before now last year.
Update.
Thank you very much, UK tax payers.  Much appreciated.  As usual, I will be spending it on keeping warm.  At 1 Raddlebarn Road.   :demon:

Excellent! I think you should invite us all round for a pint that we've already paid for.  :thumbsup:

I am stuck in the dilemma of which three bird roast to get, between ginger pig, adlington, another fancy butcher, or halve the price at M&S. Plus which three birds?

Three-bird roasts are frightfully non-U.  Get an ostrich.  Harrods will have them.

Ostrich is soooo last season!  This year, it's all about the red-necked phalarope.

Would make a very small Christmas dinner though.

The battery in my tooth brush was flat this morning, so I had to operate it manually.

I don't have the hand power to use this option.
It's find a working leccy toothbrush or furry teeth for me.

My leccy toothbrush battery is dying.

Mine got so shagged it couldn't complete a two minute brush on one charge. I briefly toyed with following  a YouTube guide and fitting a new one but in the end  CBA. I suspect this option is out for you TAAW.

Barakta has one for broadly similar reasons to hellymedic.  The flattery performs admirably well, but the lack of a supply of voles in the bathroom means it often ends up batt.

There are no voles in our bathroom so our toothbrushes have their night on a charger in my study.
I haz a spare electric toothbrush and might get another in the post-Christmas bargainfest.

*lightbulb*

I've just googled and it turns out that USB powered toothbrushes are (of course!) a thing.

There's a Raspberry Pi alerting system module in the bathroom, fed by 48 vole anbarism-over-Ethernet-under-door-frame-and-along-the-badly-fitted-skirting-board™.  It could conceivably power such a thing from its spare USB port, though is in a suboptimal position, on a high shelf above the bog.


Probably easier to remind barakta to plug her toothbrush in once a week...

Presumably you could configure the Pi to issue such a reminder...

So-called "light"-bulby-thing in the Grand Bedchamber, plz to not be going from "useful light source" to "drugged-up glow-worm" like that.  "Drugged-up glow-worm" is of little use to a Mr Larrington who wants to read in bed, and he doesn't want to traipse around Larrington Towers at that time of night looking for a replacement either.
