You know what really makes me happy?

Got my regular notification that my Dropbox is almost full, haven’t used it for years, logged in and found a picture of a thank you card from a child I coached about 10 years ago, brought a smile to my face, MMH and, probably most importantly, gave me a much needed reminder right now of the value of what we do :slightly_smiling_face:

Started a 2.79% 7 year fix today.

Glad I saw these rises coming and sorted it before the summer.

First night away from both the kids and wife in 4 years. Only my 4th night away from the kids in that time. Just been doing Sambuca shots with Brenda Hale. My head will not be happy with lectures starting at 8 am tomorrow but hey. That’s future farmerdan’s problem

Easy to solve, lots of water Paracetamol and Ibuprofen tonight, same in the morning and a large ‘full English’ to start the day.

Managed to open a packet of bacon using the little pull tab. I don’t think this has ever happened before. I thought it was impossible! Normally it just tears and you have to use a knife :sweat_smile:

Chip hat arrived today. But more battered than eBay had me believe… But for £14.99, bargain.

Had to do a bit of tailoring as so no winter mode unfortunately.

But not bad.

There we go. No longer my hat…

Cheeky sod playing with things 50years older than him…

Put it on him he runs off giggling and proceeds to not give it back.

I just checked mine (yes, I’m a terrible poser, but on sqn only), and while it’s definitely aged, there’s nothing identifiable within to offer any providence. Shame.

That’s on the inside of mine. Looking into it, it dates it between 73-78.

It still looks in better nick than my WgExO’s. Which I would happily burn if I had the chance.

Doesn’t look amazing up close. Had to redo some of the stitching when it arrived today. But for £14.99, not a bad deal.

Does make you wonder.
What trade was this guy?
Where else did they go?

And more importantly, were they as bitter and cynical about the service as I am? :rofl:

More MML. Listening to my wife ranting about JoJo refusing to refund an outfit she bought for the youngest address ago. Her reason for wanting a refund? She wanted to rebuy it and use my Blue Light discount because she forgot to ask when she bought it. She’s writing a long letter to our MP saying consumers need to be protected against nefarious practices such as this.
Genuinely expect to see a photo of her next to “Karen” on the urban dictionary

Get her to go to the local press, you could probably get her onto the “Angry people in local newspapers” page on Facebook.
