The 10% rise is most welcomed, and my wife receives another £2 per week on her PIP payments. But thank the Lord that I have been miraculously healed from my other ailments that I no longer receive Attendance Allowance. So after April we will in effect be much worse off.

I will paint them without removing them, I will hate every minute of doing it though.

They will come off easily, but nowhere to stand them while they dry.....with it being a 1 bedroom bungalow we are very short of space.

Half the trouble is the doors in the bungalow are wheelchair friendly, they are way much wider than standard door, they take a age to paint.

I hate decorating......emulsion painting I can get on with, but gloss painting..

We have to put coasters on the top of our cups of tea.....or we get a film of dust on them if we don't.

The guys do their best to clear up the mess they make, but it's the dust that's floating around, a hour after they have left it settles on every surface..... Be a good thing when it's all done, but that may be the middle of next week, then I can think about decorating both rooms.....

It's the associated dust and dirt that accompanied ripping down the old ceilings, loads came out of the roof space too..........and its nowhere near over with yet.

It's a toss up between them, or my wife finishing me off 1st.

They ripped down the old ceilings in the kitchen & bathroom, and put up new (the guy said) mould resistant plasterboards, and plastered it today.......needs skimming when it's dried..

Like living on a building site....we get a day off from the workmen tomorrow... they back on Thursday, have to empty the kitchen again, and (God knows why ) they have turned our gas off, good thing it's a bit milder.

Yep best wishes @Tango for tomorrow.

Outside of the border of Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire would be a nice start for me.

That's the story of my travels, I have not done more than 300 miles on the scoot since I bought it.

I doubt I do anywhere near 6,000 miles per year, the tester said they were starting to crack and perish around the wheel rim, must be in the inside as the outside looks fine.

My tyres perish before I wear them out, so the MOT tester seems to think, at every every MOT i get advisories for at least 1 perished tyre ..

My daughter is 39 this year,and my son will be 43, but his brain is still 14.

FFS.....its snowing....hope it doesn't amount to much.

I know the other reasons, but as I say it would sound like me moaning

When my wife stopped riding pillion I went out on the scoot/bike less and less, I hardly ride nowdays, i could go into greater detail but it would just sound like me moaning. If I sat down and really thought about it I would come to the conclusion that the scoot is really not needed. So in effect I have lost my mojo.

Our neighbours dog at the moment. ......glad I can't hear it, it gets on my wife's nerves.

@Slowlycatchymonkey Is busy.....
