It is no longer a pandemic, it is endemic… Big discussion in this house because of exactly this. If we go out and about.. gonna get it. Is it just as well to get it now whilst vaccine is at its most effective If not.. then when ? All revolves around wife’s vulnerable reality. Really really hard to know what to do. Can’t keep on hiding for ever.

Just did my meter reading, took a picture too.
According to them I'm £1.2K in credit, be interesting to see if they increase my direct debit regardless.

had to half dismantle a bathroom to find a leak . pretty hard to access as behind a load of boxing in. VERY grateful as ever to the guys at homeserve who fixed it . They are amazing , they may be a tad expensive but worth it !!!!

Sounds like a busy day…
Mine was spent looking after my daughter, who has the flu, or maybe the ‘Rona. We will find out tomorrow.

Got result back from my meter readings, now only £1154 in credit so I've used about a bullseye more than their estimate. Interesting that their estimate was below my actual use although we've just had winter so on average they are probably still estimating too high.

Just had a walk into the town and put the bets on. Backed all three, win, place and show. Only a bit of fun. Not seen the bookies so busy in a long time.

I've backed all 3 of them as well so we live in hope. It would be good if at least one of them gave us a shout towards the end, if they fall or right at the back near the end it does take away the excitement. Don't worry if they are mid division or towards the rear earlier on
