Morning all - just checking in before driving lesson - it's parallel parking day

In the past 24 hours, I have been called by
The weekend Bloke
The Mad Ex with The Convoluted Lovelife - for moral support because another one of his women has said some quite cruel things about him - the sort of thing that (IMO) wasn't true
, and even if it were, it would be a sackable offence to say so. I think at the end of the conversation, he may have proposed to me again. But that's just his insecurities making him want to go to the next female around.
and
The Very Old Friend from Primary School turned up at the music studio to take me out for a drive, a quick half in the pub and a chat about his life and kids and Mrs.
?????????????????????????????????????????
What in blue blazes is going on?????I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll

Just decluttered the council tax for this month so i'm down £127.:eek:. Nearly died looking at the price.
Hoovered the front room and made the kids pick loads of stuff up so the now the place is decluttered and looking cleanish.
Paid for a family railcard, so it looks like the children will be going down south for a week with they granny.
Going to go upstairs and sort stuff out again x
P.S good luck with lesson jo and lots of posi vibes cyc's dad x0
