Flippin' heck BBM !!!! I was in Haywards Heath yesterday !!!!!! My sister lives at Burgess Hill, and I stayed there to go to JEGs concert in London on Monday !

Have sent you a PM xx

That's all sounding pretty positive, r: were the 23kg of gear on wheels of some sort, or was it all manhandled?

Email me when your in BH next Janthefan!!

Ah right  I see. Okey dokey.

My grump.

The car was parked niely outside our house this morning(late), and this red car was parked in between mine and my neighbour. I was just putting out the recycling, and the stupid person reversed right into the front of my car. I thought(a few explitves werre ushered from my mouth!), and £100 was quoted by my garage. Luckily, both of us exchnaged details and took pictures. Had to pay for the trim to be mended!!

Luckily the car be ok for Cornwall.

Update.


Received new cards, the two cards have new numbers. Phoned 0800 activated both.

Seems the PIN numbers remain intact as do the Direct Debits, so the account stays the same, just new numbers on the cards.

Hmm, so in the end no hassle. Stopped my missus spending madly for two days

Oh, and a statement came in the post this morning, £1003. At least the payments are spread, and I can look forward to the other £1000+ this time next month 

My other card (for car stuff) has two tanks of fuel, the annual RAC fee and my annual car insurance; there's another £500. You see then, I can't afford to retire completely yet, and my missus can keep her part-time job for a while yet. 

Thank you My Lady of Waffledom

Badger: "Well then Stoat, have you used that card yet"?

Stoat: "Er, yes, not much though" he said stuffing the River Island bags under a tree stump.

Badger: " Have you got your signature, er, consistent now for signing in the shops?" he asked, wetting his whiskers.

Stoat: "Oh Badger, after all those weeks and weeks of practicing my signature, when I went into River I... I mean Tesco, I found out that you didn't need to sign anything!

Badger: "Not signnnnnnn!!!???" he gasped. "You mean you just show it to 'em?"

Stoat: "No, you need a pin number. They sent me one in a letter. I showed it to Weasel and he told me how to remember it"

Badger: "So, you're learning numbers now!"

Stoat: "Yes exciting isn't it"

Badger: "How much have you spent?"

Stoat: " Oh not much, I bought a moleski... I mean a suede pair of... eh slippers, and a leather jacke... I mean a leather eh... wallet... for my card you understand"

Badger: "Good, not getting too extravagant then. So you'll have to remember that pin number then?"

Stoat: "Oh yes. Weasel was vert helpful. The 4 is for my feet, the 2 is for my eyes, the other 2 is for my ears and..."

Badger: "Stop right there Stoat, you don't want to be telling me your pin number now. I am sure you are not supposed to share it with anyone, it should say so in that letter. Nobody else knows it right?"

Stoat: "Eh, well, Weasel......"   


Anna, I'm so glad the PIN number wasn't changed as it took me years to remember it!

 Visit to doctor this week (almost verbatim)-

  "Hello Mr Ryder-sit down and I'll take your blood pressure......  yes, that all looks OK.....And how's the breathlessness?

  "Oh, much the same"

  "Ehm.... And in general?..... How are you feeling?"

  "Bit weary"

  "Ehm" (watery smile) "feeling your years, ah?"

  " Mine plus 20  borrowed from somebody else."

  " Ehm. (Another watery smile.) Funny you should say that" ( Taps away on PC)

  "Yes?"

   "Ehm. Had an old boy of 90 in this morning"

   "Really?"

   "Ehm. Last week he abseiled down the Civic Centre . Sound as a bell" ( taps away at PC and leans forward to peer at screen.   ... "And how are you getting on with the anti-depressants?"
