@Reynard
Is that one of yours? I am guessing it is. I love its simplicity, great painting

Yes, one of mine, did this morning while fortifying myself with a large mug of tea. Glad you like it.

You know you're just having one of *those* days when you open your bottle of masking fluid only to find that it has congealed into one solid lump...

You shouldn't be drinking that stuff anyway.

After several years of being officially "unable to work" then getting rehabilitation and retraining I'm finally earning a living wage again. More importantly after I send this month's bank statement to the Job centre and show them I'm earning money, we don't have to keep giving them all our financial details to go through with a fine toothcomb.

Beautiful Wife can accept more customers for music lessons without the Job Centre taking most of what she earns.

We aren't out of the woods financially just yet and there's a fair bit of paperwork still to do, but It's probably a similar feeling of freedom to when you make the last mortgage payment on a house...

I just have mine set to re invest (PB) I also have some shares that I do the same with dividend payments

Oh so that's what PB's mean when they put them up next to athletes at Olympics !

Bath hot water tap has been 'working loose'. anyway it's very loose so time to tighten it up. Not the easiest of jobs as the side of the bath is tiled. Prising the 'panel' off usually knocks of a number of tiles and they need re-grouting.

Had to repair it urgently to stop leaks. Side off and two tiles came off as expected. My daughter held onto tap whilst I crawled under the bath and eventually got a tap wrench to grab the top hat. Having had stupid plastic top hats fail, I'd used copper this time. All tight, and side panel re-grouted and back in place. Way too hot for jobs like that.

I'm in the NS& I queuing system.

 

[Tenacious Sloth]

I have left groin pain. That's how it all starts going wrong, isn't it?

Yep, ‘fraid so. You’ll have to ride side-saddle from now on.

No more KOMs for you.

And now I'm at the back of the queue again, 'cos I didn't know I already had an NS&I number and had to email for it. There are 1722 people ahead of me.

Don’t believe you. I bet you got confused and 1722 is your NS&I number.

I can't log in, can't remember PW, they can't reset it because 1. They don't have a current phone number registered and 2. They are having tech issues. FFS.
