All fees included?

And I thought I had done well with return rail tickets to Sheffield in February for under £50 and York to home in April for £22

Yes £35 each all in.
Train fares via London at peak times are ridiculous. First class was £513 so I took the cheaper option

Had a great day by the sea dinner out was thinking can’t have pie again.
But then it was suet pastry steak and kidney pie you just have to. Worked it off wondering round then pub before the bus back. Now working way though 1/2 the bakers shop , birthday chocolate and sweets. May have another pint or two relaxing in front of the tv with Mrs73 and Charlie laid out sleeping at my feet.

Seems to be mostly in the midlands.

I ordered replacement struts for the bootlid on my Yaris as I'm fed up with banging my head when I put things in the boot.

Hope you stay dry.

A bit of a random supper here tonight... A bowl of carrot, sweet potato & red lentil soup, then the last of the pepper halves stuffed with bulgur wheat, the last of last night's gravy and some baked beans, all topped with a couple of fried eggs.

That Leicester v Arsenal game in the WSL was *definitely* a game of two halves

Somebody had given him some crab claws which are really nice with garlic butter. Never tried that before.

Seafood and garlic butter is a fabby combo

Quick reminder for anyone who had forgotten tomorrow is Monday again

I found it, and saw your posts on the last page. No, I did not read all forty-nine pages.

The decision has been made - I've just paid the deposit for the solar set up of 10 panels and a 4.6kWh battery. Using the figures given, I may not make a return on my money for 10 years (if at all even with the export tariff) but with retirement next year I will be reducing my future outgoings once it is set up. The funds are coming from a savings account set up last year when I took partial retirement specially for home improvements (at the time I was thinking carpets and decorating ) and it leaves my long term savings intact.

Monday's fine with me. It's Tuesday and the return to work for the first time in November I'm not looking forward to.
