Dubbin the donkey?

That would be Dobbin the Dunkey I think you'll find..

A sneaky choccie digestive while no one is looking.

My sweet tooth has appeared today too. I’m trying hard to resist wandering round to the supermarket for something.

I've applied some dubbin to my walking boots 👍

WoW, can't remember the last time I used dubbin. I actually enjoyed applying it and seeing it soak in.

I have just enjoyed a pancake with lemon and sugar, courtesy of my granddaughter.

This morning I had a home visit form Specsavers. Very professional and I was quite relaxed with them. 10 years since I've had new specs, can't believe the price .
I have the beginning of cataracts so need all the help I can get

Just returned from the vapour blasters.
Decent job at a fair price.
Only 26 miles away - but seemed like a 200 mike trip. Knackered now!

Nice surprise this morning

That nice Rachel person in No 11 Downing Street has sent me £250
or at least - sent me a message on the Government Gateway saying I was due to tax refund and could claim it by clicking here

If I wanted to

Well - after some thought I decided to claim it

so I have - I presume it is due to my wife doing something about re-allocating her tax free allowance to me as her pension is less than mine

anyway - worryingly there was a bit in the claiming process that seemed to say that if I was not actually entitled to it then it was MY FAULT

errr - I presume that HMRC know more about the tax system than I do so why is it my fault unless I have deliberately given them false or incomplete information
so I ignored that
and if I find that I have mysteriously inherited a huge bank account in the Caymen Island and didn;t know about it - then I will look at it again

It's 10% of the personal allowance that can be allocated to your partner. Worth doing if someone is not using their full whack.

Isn't that like Muffin The Mule, illegal?

Snoozed off for an hour there. Warm post lunch Brucie cuddles have that effect.
