HOW MANY TIMES DO / SHOULD YOU 'SAY' "THANK YOU"

Well, let's work through this question carefully.

I think, for instance, if you went to have a meal or stay with someone that you should say it twice.

The first time you say the magic words is when you actually take your leave and the second time is when you write your thank you note.. please not an email but an old fashioned note / letter.

Now if someone gives / sends you something then I think you say it once, probably in writing.

And having said it, that is it. You don't have to say or write it multiple times.

But some people, or to be more precise, the person she has recently had unpleasant dealings with, is either not reading her mail or is stupid and expects her to say it at least twice in one day.

Dream on.. is what I say.

On to certainly more pleasant subjects!

We've discovered, I tell gross fibs, she discovered the most divine crisps! Oh, they are so tasty and not made from potatoes!

Do not fret folks, I am only allowed to have the most minute pieces and never more than three pieces per evening and when I say minute, I mean if you don't peer at it very closely, you won't see it.

They are made from, wait a minute whilst she looks at a bag, sweet potato, beetroots spinach and corn and they're studded with golden linseed.

Don't fret, of course I'm going to tell you where to buy them but it's going to be sad if you don't live in the UK, because they're sold by the CO-OP!

She has attempted, in the past, to make crisps but they were not a great success, we certainly didn't offered them to friends, that's for sure.

But recently she was talking with a very savvy young friend of hers who is a cracking cook, Lucy is a wizard and came to work the next week with an airtight box full of the scrummiest crisps, all made by her own fair hands.

Man, they were good! So she is going to ask for the recipe as why buy them when you can make them out of your own homegrown vegetables - like Lucy does!

So she is pleased that she gives her (Lucy) more than the odd bunch of roses and other goodly things as 'thank you' gifts for taking in her parcels and courier deliveries.

Full circle back to thank you! How tidy was that? 

Now I'm off to investigate her bedside table, there are all manner of things that Beaky wants to prod, poke and push onto the floor.

I know, it doesn't take a lot to amuse a small fat grey bird.. but it certainly gets her attention when she hears stuff go 'plop' on the floor.

TeeHeeHee.. 

GeeGee Parrot.
