    Getting a thank you message from visiting friends/relatives of this lady, all she spoke about on their visit was meeting our dog and how it obeyed her commands.

    I hope if I inadvertently drive through a red light I too get the option of no fine or points but attending a free awareness roadshow instead! (Good that somethings being done though).

    Going out for a walk this afternoon with the dogs here in SW France and coming across a meeting of old English motorcycles. Lots of Triumphs, Nortons, BSAs and even a Vincent!

    A couple of things about the Snooker. 

    1. The overhead camera this year. I know they have it every year and that most sports have it, but it seems so much better. The alignment is mm perfect and there isn't the slightest hint of any lens aberrations whatsoever. It's just perfect.

    2. Tonight's crowd. In particular the woman at the front who is so into it she looks like her eyes are going to bulge out of her head, the John Inman lookalike and best of all fatty at the back with his shirt button undone to release the beer gut.

    Yesterday I lost my wallet in Sainsbury’s car park, (Locksbottom). 
    Got home cancelled all my cards. An hour latter a guy knocks on my door to return it. I always keep my driving licence in it so he was able to find my house.

    Just started my Re-Mortgage Application with L&C Mortgages

    Been shitting bricks for the last couple of weeks, as worried that the valuation of the property might cause problems in terms of getting a reasonable rate - Application went off to Bank of Ireland on Tuesday, we put down on the Application that we thought the valuation would be 270k, it needed to come back at 265k to get the Mortgage with them.

    Just been informed by the Case Manager that it F**KING CAME BACK AT 279k!!!!!!!!

    Ye of little faith

    Interesting that the Sunday Times left it until this week to "reveal" what they (or Robert Buckland) had apparently known for four years about her husband's trial. Utterly baffled as to why that might be...

    I was on the train yesterday morning going to Wembley to see my village team Great Wakering Rovers. There were quite a few of us in our party and although we got on at the start, other people would be joining us further down the line. We therefore split ourselves over two 'compartments'. A couple of stops in and a group of men got on and tried to sit in the seats adjacent to my son. He explained that he was waiting for some friends and asked if they'd mind moving down a bit. They did this, coming straight to the next section where we were sitting. We didn't have the heart to say anything, so they sat in with us. At the next stop their mate got on carrying a huge hamper and dished out free drinks to everyone in our section. So, it ain't always so bad travelling on public transport. It turns out they were going to see Southend Rugby Club playing at Twickenham. Glad to hear that they won. Our generous travelling companions deserved it. Cheers guys!

    On Thursday while running our dogs in the school fields I noticed a new face amongst the Indian Groundstaff/coaching lads and although we waved to acknowledge them all we got about exercising the dogs as normal. As we walked the dogs around the perimeter it was very apparent our new visitor was wary of the dogs.
    Returning on Friday he was alone working on the second elevens pitch and no sooner he heard the dogs he was off to join the others working elsewhere, after a few minutes I saw the cart the use to haul the cut grass approaching us with our dogs pal also from India and our new face.
    A Beaming smile as he left the cart to welcome both Bow and Valli on his knees as our new sat nervously in the cart, introducing our dogs to his mate he showed him how to correctly meet the dogs all of which we’d shown him some 3 years previously as he beckoned him to join him which he did in seconds. Slowly introducing himself to Bow and Valli in turn following by lots of stroking as his smile became as wide as his mates they took photos which in seconds were whizzing their way to his family back home.
    Everydays a school day for our Therapy dogs, a bit like the day the police asked to view our cctv for car they were looking for, they stayed on asking to meet our dogs they’d heard about. 😂

    So you mean she won't be doing anything to benefit the people who elected her. No change there then ;)

    Just had an Amazon delivery from my MIL for my Birthday yesterday. We had a couple of our own deliveries at the same time and the delivery guy had to do it in 3 trips. 2 boxes of Hoegaarden, 48 bottles in total plus these snacks. My wife was laughing as the MIL had told her she’d ordered 2 boxes instead of 1. I told her not to worry as I’d find a good home for them.

    The look on the face of the ignorant bitch who parked halfway across our driveway this afternoon when she returned to her car and realised she’d been ticketed. We’d been out and my wife had to park up the road when we returned so I reported it on the Bexley council website. Wouldn’t mind if had been for 10-15 minutes but she’d been there at least 3 hours.

    Shame they didn't tow it and charge £300 for lifting it and £300 for releasing it. Inconsiderate person.

    Janine, the contestant on 'The Finish Line' who was going to spend the £5000 prize on a hospitality season ticket at crystal palace, getting knocked out in the penultimate round. Gave me a smile, that did.

    Ordered an arbour for the garden from Robert dyas and paid through Klarna purely for convenience as we have another project we are spending money at the moment. 
    The end of day of delivery I receive   An email to say there’s a delay at the manufacturer and no update on delivery is available.
    I contact them asking for a approximate date and get the standard we will respond in 48 hours (if we can be arsed) 
    Fours days later I get an email saying it’s been sent and again no timescale.
    My reply asking if we should wait in for hours, days or weeks again not answered.
    Contact Klarna, who with hold second payment but won’t act for 21 days from my complaint to them.
    So I contact manufacturer who tells me it’s at Maidstone and for whatever reason it hasn’t been delivered but they put a rocket up the courier and I will be contacted within the hour and delivery was taken the next day.
    On checking Klarna its still got my payment on hold, Robert dyas have been in touch to which I issued a standard email promising to respond in 48 hours and they have obviously been in touch with Klarna and they will get a 21 day notice. 
    Yes, I will pay it and in full but I’m going have some fun in the process 😂
