You think they're trying to tell you something :)

Hope you and all the other dads had a great day :tu:

I am a member of a local charity, and we are moving into a new building.


It needs a lot of work, last week we knocked out the relevant walls, it was thought they were breeze blocks, but they were concrete blocks and a bugger, but they were no match for a sledgehammer.


We started to remove the roof, and it's hot up there, it would be easier if everyone helped every day, but such is life.

Result!

My friend was at Headingley today watching England vs NZ, and he is going again tomorrow - he just rang to say he has a spare ticket for tomorrow, and did I fancy going?

I answered in the affirmative!

Headingley is 30 minutes by walk/bus/walk from my house, so some beers may be taken... :)

Had a call with the CEO of the developer of our Manchester apartment yesterday. As an apology for the continued delays he's given us a parking slot, which would have cost us £25,000 otherwise.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Two good results there, well one great one :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

As you may know, since last June I've been going to a charity called the Men's Shed.


Well 12 days ago we started to knockdown walls and remove the roof, today we started to put the trusses on and all going well we should be water tight.


All going well, we should be finished by the end of August.

My work is giving everyone a 2% cost of living pay rise, this was unexpected.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Inflation is at 9%, so a 7% cut really? (Sorry I forgot the Happy thought thread bit ....)

I have some national savings index linked bonds that increase with inflation, they are doing very well !

Just come back from an ultrasound scan of my aorta to check for any aneurysm. No abnormality detected so all's well there. :)

This is a routine scan at age 65 for all men.

Got a tax rebate tother day £1500,came as a total shock.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A cost of living pay rise of 2% that isn't part of my annual pay rise is a win to me,. I don't know about anyone else but this is my first ever cost of living rise on top of any other rise.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It is a win definitely but lets hope it's the last needed for cost of living alone reasons :tu:

A mini tour of the South West this week. Bournemouth today, Torquay and Newquay later in the week. Feck me, its a long drive... Going north to south in this country is ok, but when you try to go east/ west all hell breaks loose...

If anybody wants proof of climate change, they are growing coconuts down here ;) Still, all very nice. Don't know why anybody bothers going abroad with the coastline we've got.
