Either you've got a great yet distant optician or you're drinking a weird beer.
Maybe??
Or both!

Been for some physio and a sports massage.

Spent the session expressing my displeasure that she doesn't know anything about the Star Wars films.

Nice! I've got chiro this afternoon.

Been for a haircut this morning, got to collect the Wife's Christmas present (massage voucher) today and also collect her maternity notes.

The flexibility of working from home is good... just means I'll be working til around 6 or maybe 7 today.

I know, and the prick had an entire weekend to come up with one! It's like they're not even trying now, we'll believe anything.

Yesterday I fitted some radiator guards to my neighbours GS, then went to have a look at a couple of Peugeot's... The C1 is just too small... Still have the C1

Today, mulling over the bank's offer or refinancing my loan which only has 7 payments left, I could pay off the bike, car and most interest laden credit card, the one at 0% may as well run its course.

Also heard back on my job application to northern rail, after a few messages telling me that I had met the grade and they would be in touch to arrange an interview, the job has now been filled...

Thanks for the kind words, I'm still looking. I keep finding jobs with "Apprentice" and "Trainee" in the title then when I read in to the add they want a qualified person (headbang)

I got the old pen and paper out today and actually did a full breakdown of where every penny is going, my finances are total soup so I applied for a top-up on my loan over more years than I'm really happy with but long story short, it was approved and my monthly outgoings will reduce by £526.64 and a nice little lump for a holiday next year (bandit)

But I want more, the Kawasaki is on the hit list as I have gotten too used to stretching myself too thin, I might replace it with one of the many older bikes which I have fancied but never ridden, VFR800 maybe? that would free up another lump of cash which I could throw at this loan to reduce the payments or term still further.

The car needs an upgrade though, still looking at Peugeot 2008's as I am now used to the higher driving position. And I like the look of them, although my heart likes the Alfa Giulietta, a read of the problems they suffer and repair costs means my head sees a French car as a better option (shocked)

Aside from all that I did a game of Knock-and-run delivering Christmas cards and presents to relatives 8)

Spent the day cleaning the pool and pressure wash cleaning the deck all while it pissed down, again. Looked like a drowned rat at the end of the day.
