We have a lot to be grateful for with our modern lifestyle despite the bills to pay for it.

you toughen up to it. In days gone by if the room was cold you put a jumper on if it was still cold you say in your coat. Central heating makes you soft . You can survive perfectly well in the most part at 10% but I bet a lot of you are up at 20.I got my heating on 15 degrees and I have had to take my hoodie off and im sat in a tshirt

Indeed we do have a lot to be thankful for Tinky and some of us just don't realise it as my sister works for the Salvation Army in London and she has seen a big increase in people out on the streets homeless in the past few years and although they do their best they cannot help everyone given the finances they have at their disposal.

Too many people are too soft these days.

lol agreed

Saw the consultant today, op booked for April 17th. Because of the diabetes, a normal one day procedure will see me stay for one or two nights. Hospital I'm going to give you your own room, a TV, WiFi access and meals.

Got to go for a pre admission appointment, where they will swab me for MRSA and the like and to meet the surgical team.

I would not want to meet them. What if you take an instant disliking to one or more of them. No way would I want to go through it then lol

I would take that risk. I've been suffering for the last couple of years so hopefully in a month's time no more irritation down there.

I'm sure you'll just be glad to get it over and done with Mark, and the 17th April is not too far off. Good luck with the op!

Lung cancer is such an awful way to go,and he had problems letting go of life.It wasn't easy for him.

I basically let go of the work I was doing at the time,and thought being with him is more important,I have a whole life ahead of me to make money.

Funny how what goes around,comes around. I love Life!!

R.I.P Dad

You deserve it for your the good you done for him.

So very pleased for you both.

Ah well, a good raking out of 'no good to me any more', a skip or two, and DO NOT THROW OUT HER STUff!

Ask your good wife back for a final decision on items.
It's easy once you get started.

Pickfords might be a good way to start for removal and storage.They've done it before and will do it again.

In the meantime feel free to send all your music to me for safe-keeping...
