I've been shopping, big mistake with a bad back and now I'm in agony, I was going to do it online, but then I realised I needed some cash so went on my trike, hit a bump in the road and nearly killed me with pain and after that I now have server pain down both legs and could hardly push the peddles around, good job it's also electric or I don't think I would have made it back home.
I'll have a rest today, at least I won't have to go shopping again for a fortnight.
It's 36c here

Take it easy.Hope you soon feel better

Talking of money/finance......a true, funny story..our granddaughter applied for AND got her 1st full time job a few weeks ago.
Landed on her feet as its £24K a year and a 10 minute walk from their house.
Anyway, there she was, telling her Bro what she would spend all this money on when he explained that......"NO...you don't get to keep all that. You have tax and NIS etc etc to pay"......she was horrified.
Then her parents gave her more good news.....she also has board and lodging to come out of whats left.
She was not a happy bunny :laugh:

Reminds me of daughter No3. When she was about 17, we had some cross words regarding some of her 'friends', who, to be blunt, I regarded as "undesirables". Shortly after this, daughter No3 applied for, and got, her first job. A similar conversation occurred to that you describe. She was not pleased. "what does the Government do with my tax I pay then?" she asked, "pay benefits to your undesirable pals" was my reply.

She is now 48, self employed, and, about to enter the dreaded teenage years with her own son. ;)
