Not a problem I have unfortunately, I'm claiming pension credit.

Juts checking in case it has been misse
In my wife's case that has bumped her Nat Ins up to nearly full pension whereas otherwise she only worked in 'well paid' enough jobs to pay NI for the last few years before she retired
Although we are not actually old enough to retire yet - and it has gone up t o66 for both of us anyway
Just checking in case it has been missed - it is sometimes - but if you were looking after the kids then you may be entitled to Nat Ins for that time - although I think you also have to have been claiming Child Allowance

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I didn't know that but of information. I will have to look into that. Thanks.

MOT done for another year. I would have been pretty peeved if it had failed since it was in getting a service and check over a couple of weeks ago. I like to keep all that kind of business local where possible in case I need urgent help. Last year I forgot the MOT until the day before I was off to mainland and got it done in time to catch the ferry. Helps to be known as a regular customer who pays his bills on the spot.
Next hurdle at the end of October is insurance for the car as I have been refused renewal in the past due to age. Camping and Caravan Club I think it was.
Clumping around in a new pair of shoes I got mail order from Hoggs of Fife today. Got stiffish soles which I prefer for driving any long distance. Thats me now with shoes, trousers and Jackets all from them. They cater for the well off hunting,shooting,fishing rich farmers {not that I have any connection with that world } but their stuff is good quality albeit a bit expensive. I was tempted by a 20% discount and 10% off my next order. If Ernie is really good to me next month I fancy one of their nice leather jackets which I don't really need.
Spent some time bodging the topeak bar extender to make it fit the trike accessory bar. I spent a lot of my working life improvising repairs so rake around my shed and enough bits come together. Try it tomorrow if the rain has stopped.

If you live in a select area like Crieff you cannot have bins lying about in the street. Bad for the neighbourhood image.

Don't get me started on this one. We have three neighbours who insist on keeping their bins outside in our backs.😡
Everyone else keeps their bins in the backyard.👍

Got the SKS Raceblades on my old Giant The only fault a minor one is the rear guard doesn’t go far enough to protect the bottom bracket They will stay on the bike all year round as I tend to use it when the roads are wet as well as winter.
Pams child allowance worked liked that, we had kids for a very long time due to the spread of their ages, she did not earn a penny for 30 years but somehow the pension people tell us she will be getting £162 or something a week in April 2023, with luck.

Here’s Boris with a briefing. Whoopy do!
I wish he would show a bit of umph when he is making a point by thumping the lectern with his fist at least it would make it look as though he believes in what he is saying
At least your first ministers delivery makes me more inclined to believe what she is saying.

The holiday homes here just leave them in the street in one case blocking the pillarbox. They don't care about our local environment.
Have I missed something?
Furlough runs out I guess for many.
