Clive

Not on the same scale as the £60,000 car, but i was taken aback when my daughter told me hers and her hubbies monthly phone bill was £85 each!...I will stick with my crap phone and £10 PAYG.

I have another medical issue that is going to be (hopefully) investigated in the New Year......get that sorted 1st.

I forgot to add that my wife gets a pension from her days working at Woolworths........................... £10 per year!....she asked if she could take what she receives in one lump sum.....,they said no.

I am on only on a basic pension + a small pit pension, wife does not get full state pension, fuck knows why......people have said "you should have saved more"...apart from a few years in the early 70,s I was never on good enough money to be able to put money aside for my old age....and to be honest, in my early 20,s I did not give the idea of retirement a 2nd thought, we are suffering (kind of) for it now, we live and eat (but don't heat) and pay our bills, but other activities (holidays abroad, trips to the coast, and other social events) are out of the question, but we try to make the most of what we have, but like others, we would be happy with a bit more money.

Shhhh.....I am playing mind games.

A word of advice..........Don't hold your breath. But i would like to extend my thanks to my campaign manager @Buckster........Great work fella

It's gonna be a tough one, 14 good photos.

The rotten tree came down last night, luckily it fell in the opposite direction to my shed, not damaged the fence from what I can see, so I have some clearing up to do, shame I ain't got a log burner, If i had it would be a damn sight warmer in here.

If I am still alive and kicking in another year I may go on the Cochlear Implant waiting list, be better if it was done at our local hospital and not one the other side of Nottingham. As I have said before, I would rather be deaf than blind, that really is a disability....

Doc says my tumour is not causing him to be concerned...it is a little larger, but not significantly, they may leave my MRI scans to every 18 months instead of every 12 months, they will make a decision on that after my next one in June, he is also happy that my balance is not effected, but he said that could change in the blink of a eye as he has found out from other patients......... better get on some rides (spring onwards) while I am still able to........overall I am happy, things could be worse.

Remember what I was doing in January/February? I can't remember what I was doing last week.........been to Mablethorpe twice this year though.

Did not have to pay parking charge, exit barriers are fucked, they are in the up position all the time..

Off to audiology at 11am, I expect I will be there till about 3pm, car park charge is gonna be horrendous taking sandwiches and flask, not going into costa Coffee in the hospital, Rob Dogs

But I will let @Six30 spill the beans.

Never thought I would feel sorry for a Moose......but there you go.

No @Pedro......it is Daelim S3 Advance (daft name) 250cc.

Take it easy, or else your wound will do this.

Says it will get up to 12c (yeh right) here today, but pissing it down, but got to do some food shopping later, better find my waterproofs.

What a fecking horrible morning out there, it makes me glad I don't have to go outside and go to work.

And Clive is pissed on a pint (or 2) of San Miguel ....

4 x660 ml bottles.......I am a lightweight, or more of a featherweight.

Had my (late) Christmas meal, everything was hot and cooked well, doubt I will be shouting Hughie down the lav at midnight.. 3 bottles of San Miguel to dispose of now, bet I have a head like thunder tomorrow morning.

Starving here, not getting my meal till 5pm. Taking Skol lager with me to drink with and after the meal, not sharing my San Miguel.

We will have our Christmas meal later today, son in law is doing the cooking, so I am expecting cold veg, luke warm potatoes, mashed & roasted, turkey could be warm or hot, and gravy like warm brown water...Food poisoning anyone?

Well there is that I suppose....
