Did you manage to keep a straight face?

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Just. He was walking funny when he came into the house, but it was only because he was covered in wet mud not because he hurt himself

Meant to be 2 teams of four racing, our four all turned up, two from the challenging team failed to show and a third turned up and said he had something else to do and disappeared again, so four against one, easy points and managed a 3rd place 🥳 so probably the best I will do all season 😆
As an aside, how long does it take to get used to this retirement malarkey? Quit the PT position middle of August last but still feel like I have to be making the most of every day and have to keep reminding myself that it's ok I don't have to arrange things around work or do everything because the holiday is about to end?

I just changed package today. My 18 month contract with Virgin Media was ending and going from £26/month to £75! 😳
I went online to cancel via their chat and was offered essentially the same package but under a different name for £38/month, with no increases during the term. Comparison sites showed it to be the best deal for the speed (350Mbps) so I’ve stayed with them.
I’ve dumped O2 and I’m going back to GiffGaff, who’ll give me a better deal for less money.

If you have a decent signal on three network in your location then a data only SIM from smarty only cost 20 a month unlimited with no contract, just need to buy a cheap router. Where I am I get up to 150mbps.
I have decided on eggs, sausage and chips 
Just had the guy who is doing my new units for the bedroom. So many choices!!
I know I am going for cream as its only a small (make that very small) room.
There must be 20+ door styles to select from.
I have gone for a light grain effect.
Then I had to choose size/number of drawers.
Strange, but in a way, it's easier now Sue is not here as I can just choose and say 'sod it' that's it whereas we were having to discuss and compromise on everything. Hope that doesn't sound callous as I would choose the discussions in a heartbeat.

I understand there is a petition to have Vennell's CBE rescinded. Haven't had time to look for it yet
