Aren’t you a little ray of sunshine

I doubt she would want to. She views this country as some sort of third world state. On being discharged from hospital she asked if we could arrange for her to see some proper doctors, apparently those who treated her inc the nursing staff ( who were brilliant), weren’t qualified as they came from all sorts of weird countries.

I don't want to add to your joy too much, but that's your wife in the future.

My brother in laws mother is 102 years old, she has been, (in her words) at deaths door for the past 20 years.

Are they the things Pete was always on about

When I bought my MT09 eighteen months ago the insurance cost was around £850. I did discuss putting it on a multi bike policy with my Indian when it renewed last year but they made it so complicated and turned out just as expensive and I didn’t bother. They recently emailed me with the renewal cost for the Indian and then 10 mins later with a quote on the Yamaha, which isn’t due until Sept. I called them to ask why the second quote and after some prevarication they came back to admit they had dropped a bollock and we’re about to renew both on a multi bike and cancel the existing Yamaha policy without my instructions and if I hadn’t called it would have just gone through automatically. They then offered to go with the multi bike for both, total cost just over £240 fully comp. The Indian alone was £450 last year. I didn’t question anything, just paid there and then. Confirmation arrived by email 15 mins later which a carefully checked for errors, all ok, yay!

My wife is fit as a butchers dog, if I had to put more than 20p on which one of us would be a dribbling vegetable first I’d be backing me.

You should go, take the Yam and teach them how to ride off-road.

My worse nightmare She only has right to be here for 3 months, currently in month 2. On day 91 im going to be straight on to immigration to dob her in.

Nice work, that'll be great when finished.

Went through one of the comparison sites originally, can’t recall which one but the policy is with Principal Insurance. Not a company I’d come across before but then there are loads I’ve never heard of on the comparison sites. just checked my emails and their number is 03300241358. That’s the renewals dept but I’m sure they could help.

I try my best to spread the love.

She certainly isn’t short of opinions. I have to keep reminding myself that a lot of this is her dementia talking, but it’s bloody hard. Our new dog has been a joy throughout this living purgatory, I think he’s the only think keeping us sane.

Good progress by the builders today , it wasn't just banging Underfloor heating done in the extension ............... Plumbing and stud wall done for the en-suite ...................... noggins fitted ready to cover the main steel work ...............

I think it will the cheap pads that are causing the squealing, as I said, I will give them another coating of copper slip, and get my wife some ear defenders

No - much less snow. warmer and they actually have a Autumn and a Spring whereas we really don't here. Riding season should be expanded to about 8 months per year - almost double!

Maybe she will stay forever.

What @Catteeclansaid, plus a light filling on the edges of the pads if they’re squared edges. If you’re up for it? Like so:

There was van action today, something for everyone. And also :
