jeaniembe's bio
I am a retired psychiatric nurse and I am married. I do not have children. We enjoy holidays in the UK and abroad when we can afford them, although the insurance is now starting to become dearer than the holiday. I also enjoy crafts, especially knitting. I like reading most things but especially mystery thrillers and keeping up with current affairs. -

Is sleeping in separate beds the beginning of the end?Sometimes the choice is made for you. We had to get twin beds because of health problems. Neither of us would have had any sleep otherwise. We still slept in the same room though.ViewDate:

Will you watch the Sussexes' Oprah interview?The RF do have stuffy traditions etc and the press report on them incessantly. However where the Queen etc act differently is they mostly ignore it. Harry and Meghan have decided they want a different life, which doesn't offer any restraints. That is their choice. They have swapped the British RF for celebrity RF. I think what annoys a lot of people, is not their request to live a private life etc, but that they want to bring the RF in to disrepute by hawking their titles to Netflix and CBS etc. To make money. I wish them happiness but I'm afraid this pair will be putting themselves and their family out there for eternity. Invading their own privacy.. I'm not an ardent royalist. However if we are to continue with them, then at least the right Brother will eventually become King.ViewDate:

Will you watch the Sussexes' Oprah interview?What has ever stopped them having security. I think Beyonce and the like, employ their own. What they seem to want is for Daddy or us to pay for it.ViewDate:

Will you watch the Sussexes' Oprah interview?Ha Ha I am grateful to them. I have just realised how I'm better at money management then those two. My suggestion to them is Downsize that mansion and live within your means.ViewDate:

Will you watch the Sussexes' Oprah interview?Status is all in American royalty. If you don't have security guards then you're not an A lister. Probably why Harry wanted his father to carry on paying or us as the taxpayer. As he pointedly said, he was born into it, so expected it to carry on. What 36yr old winges about Daddy not wanting to finance him anymore. He embarrassed himself. As for Doria, where is she? Is she silent or silenced?ViewDate:

Will you watch the Sussexes' Oprah interview?There were so many untruths and inconsistencies that you ended up wondering was there any truth. I'd have thought they would have at least both got their stories to agree. The trigger words were all included. Mental health bullying and racism. Dare anyone to question the detail and all sorts of keyboard warriors will be after you. It also looks like, they still haven't finished with us..... Meghan said how hurt she was about her father speaking to the press etc. How this had hurt especially since becoming a Mother herself. Well, this shameless pair have just done worse to their own children. They will have to watch this and deal with the fall out for yrs to come, just so mummy and daddy can bolster their brand and make their millions.ViewDate:

Will you watch the Sussexes' Oprah interview?I watched it. Don't know where much truth came in to it though and it wasn't really a proper interview. I get that they were unhappy. However they are now supposed to be happy, so get in with it. They wanted privacy yet we seem to have seen and heard more from them more than ever.. I would have thought Harry at least would have known not to diss your family on TV, and then go on to talk about later conversations with Princes Charles and William to Gayle King .ViewDate:

Would you be happy using an app at home to monitor your health?Great idea for checking on progress of eye conditions. In early stages. My husband had to travel to hospital every four weeks for checks. He wasn't yet receiving injections. However no allowed to drive just in case that would be the time he had to start. Public transport here is awful. So an app to check at home would have been great.ViewDate:

Which goes on first - the salt or the vinegar?I put vinegar on the chips first, (pickled onion vinegar) followed by salt on the chips and fish. I don't put any vinegar on the fish batter. Makes it soggy. Also if buying fish and chips from chip shop to bring home, I put the condiments on at home, so that they are not both soggy.ViewDate:

Older grandchildren who never say Thank Your for Christmas or Birthday chequesSadly it seems the way of the world now. Have this generation had too much? I know when I was a child it was drummed into us, to say thank you in person, by phone or in a letter. A couple of years ago I just sent a birthday card, no money included. I soon had a phonecall thanking me for the card and in an embarrased round about way saying there was no money in it. I explained that the previous year I didn't know whether or not they had received it, so thought it safer not to send it in the post.ViewDate:

Are you worried that other people are not following Covid rules?Our local Co op has a sign saying We will not ask you to wear a face mask. We know if you are not, then you have a good reason. So in effect nobody if they don't wish to, has to wear a face mask. Most are sensible but I've seen some that I know who have no valid reason, not wearing one. Probably one of the worst decisions the government made was to attribute the public with common sense.ViewDate:

Are you worried that other people are not following Covid rules?During this lockdown many seem to be doing just what they like. Other than certain shops being closed, many seem to be carrying on as normal, visiting other households etc. Travelling around the country, not wearing masks. Whilst the rest of us are imprisoned in our homes.ViewDate:

Will you be joining in the Clap for Heroes on Thursday?Nurses have an independent pay review panel.which decide on pay rises. The last one was over 3yrs. Up for renewal this yr if my memory serves me correctly. So it's not really a matter of any government denying them one.ViewDate:

Will you be joining in the Clap for Heroes on Thursday?Although I believe the sentiment behind the clapping is well meant it seemed to become more like virtue signalling. Health carers and front row workers would far prefer if people followed the rules to keep them and others safe, rather than clapping. Seen too many clapping on their doorsteps then having a party.ViewDate:

Is foreign aid better spent at home?I'm not against foreign aid but we should have more control over where it goes and what it is spent on. Much of it is wasted whilst people in the UK are struggling. If a country can send rockets to the moon they don't need our money.ViewDate:

Would you be happy to have a drive-through flu jab this year?Had mine done at the local pharmacists. They are very good for other things to, advice etc. Our local surgery are doing the flu jabs but don't want to see you if you are ill.ViewDate:

Will you take the Covid-19 vaccine when you are offered it?I will be having it. Thalidomide was caused by drugs not a vaccine. Yes it does appear to have been quick. However most other vaccines have been formed over a longer period because there are far less people working on them. This has had everything thrown at it. Obviously there are antvaxxers e.g. MMR Jab but these fears were discredited years ago. People still believe it even though the so called Doctor was struck off. That is why these illnesses are now again causing problems. -
