My sleeping pattern is terrible these days. I have given up going to bed early. I have recently started another part time job that requires me to work and hour or two of a morning, from 5, as I will be awake anyway and may as well get another (small) wage.

I tend to sleep 4 to 5 hours a night and ...

Changing the Cats litter tray is a bit of a pain. Once month I have to change it. And as for the overspill.....

what was involved in your procedure?

Same as Alan described. It didn't take long and it was a home visit. A Beautician did it. I asked her if she could do something with my face but she told me that would cost a lot more than 60 quid and would need a team of Panel Beaters

Not hearing aids, but I had to pay for my ears to be cleaned of all the build up wax out as they don't do it on the NHS anymore. 60 quid to have both lug holes rinsed.

Felt good, though.

Just a visit. Stayed in Penrith, also. Was going to take in Keswick but decided maybe another time.

I received no reply and thought "ah he doesn't like me' lol. Actually I suspected it may have been a forum issue ...

Custard Creams are the crack cocaine of Biscuits as far as I'm concerned. Hot cup of tea, duck the bastards and I cry with guilt afterwards.

A massive congratulations Singe. You have worked hard for this.

Super proud of you.

Being back Eldorado

Mature can be a beautiful thing....until some twat let's their XL bully or Pitbull off their lead.

Thanks Singe. Hope all is well.

Hi Dave, I was aware that the forum was up and running again and just gotten round to signing up.

I been doing a few things and keeping busy with life. I hope retirement is treating you well. I doubt I'll ever experience it 😂

Did you miss the time you had running a forum? I hope you managed to ...

So I see the forum is back open for business, but in different premises.

Hope everyone is well and in fine form.

I'm ok myself, keeping busy and all that jazz.

I'm sure one or two might have actually missed me
