Ah.
I now have a deeper understanding of your excellent potential for breaking bits and why you pursue it with such vigour.

My pal from UK is here for 10 days. We gave him the apartment as a wedding present.
First day here and he's just given me a list of jobs he's gonna do while he's here. He likes to be useful.
I don't expect anything, but he was always my go-to builder in the UK, so I'll know it'll be good work

She's fine. They've saved £550 and both feel they want to give a little back
We've given some folk a free holiday and barely a thankyou. We don't want payment, but it's nice to be appreciated.

Just been on the blower to a motorhome broker who is 100% confident that we'll get more for our moho than we paid for her 5 years ago.
Which would be nice.
Cos that and the cash in the premiums would pay my mortgage off.

I bought a suit 12 years ago and only wore it for my mums funeral.
I need it this weekend so dragged it out of the wardrobe with trepidation.
How much has it shrunk ?
No. It's very roomy. I've shrunk

I bought just over £50 worth of first class stamps. They're going up from 85p each to 95p each from 4th April so that's about a fiver I saved.
If you need 'em, buy 'em now.
I'm not sure I've used £50 worth of stamps in my whole life and unless I get some pen friends that insist on written letters then I doubt I'll use that much in stamps ever!
I like proper letters. And writing them. I have a few friends in the uk that I write to and swap cards with. I'd almost certainly use 50€ of stamps - but only cos postage from here to the UK is so bloody expensive!! LOL

Birthday cards, Christmas cards, the times you have to send documents or parcels by post (yes, you can use first or second class stamps to make up the postage for parcels). They all add up.

Cards? You're not a woman?
Online postage prints it to the exact figure.

But next month I can pay with this month's prices.

The Figaro passing it's MOT with no advisories and the tester saying, 'It's one of the best ones I've seen'.
He didn't take up my offer of buying it, mind.

Mother inlaw not talking to us

She is not long back from Istanbul from getting a face lift. Her mate got one and the tits done and bingo wings. Anyway the wife and me are the last people to turn to looking for sympathy as she is still all sore. Think she just learnt that
