Ok, so it could be the drugs mixed with a long hot soak in an already roasting hot centrally heated bathroom but I've had an idea for a cartoon superhero...

Born in Grantham to wealthy parents Wayne Spruce had little idea that he was destined to become the pale avenger known only as 'Cricket Bat Man"!!!

After witnessing his parents stabbed to death in front of his very eyes on a day trip to Flamingo Land little Wayne takes it upon himself train in the mystical martial art known as Ban qiu qiu bang (roughly translated means Cricket Bat) in the hope of one day catching his parents killer.

Fast forward 20 years and Wayne Spruce has a successful Cricketing career and has several million £'s in the bank! He hires an Indian chap with links to Wales (Gupta Scargill) to act as his butler and chauffeur and eventually takes on the mantle of Cricket Bat Man!!!

Dressed all in white and using his 'Bat of Justice' he aims to hit the criminals of Grantham City...

Over the years Grantham has become proper rough and is home to The Piddler (a habitual alcoholic who's liver can process acids which he can drink and pee on his victims to dissolve them), Drat Woman (a failed secretary who's posh upbringing prohibits her from using real curse words when she invariably gets caught shop lifting from Primark) and worst of all... The Croaker (a madman who is obsessed with the Toad from The Wind in the Willows)!

Can our hero stop these Jeremy Kyle cast offs before they bring ruin to a once referred to in the Domesday book city of Grantham or will he find something better to do like find the fella who killed his folks?

Who knows, cares or is even remotely bothered???

Just a start but I wanted to get it noted down somewhere before I forget (which I may wish to do at some point in the future).

Morning, Just joined up and started my own diary last week. I've spent the best part of this morning reading your diary and you are an absolute inspiration. Your positivity is mind blowing. You've also made me laugh out loud for the first time in weeks.

I now plan to stalk you :rotfl:

Totally subscribed.

Hi Deb!

If any of my ramblings help at all then feel free to stalk away I've not been updating my diary much recently as things have sort of 'plateaued' but hand on heart, I don't think I'd be in as good a shape mentally without this here diary to just throw my thoughts out

Thought of today is WOW I'm looking at house prices in my city (York) and while the prices for anything more than either a studio flat in the grotty areas or a 50% share in a 55+ retirement home are realistically out of my reach what shocks me more is the way that they almost all start with phrases such as "ideal investment", "currently providing an 8% yield" or my personal favourite "great investment, requires huge modernisation".

!!!!!!? I'm here worried about what I'm going to do when I'm 60 and looking at a life of renting a room in a shared house and houses in my home town are being marketed (seemingly) as an alternative to an ISA... We live in a weird, topsy turvy bonkers world

I found out recently that the little Indian man who used to run the local newsagent just went semi-retired. He sold his shop (which now comprises 4 shops since he's been expanding) and is instead relying on his property 'empire' for income... He's a lovely guy and I don't begrudge him (much) but he has 18 houses in York and is considering selling 8 to use the money to buy a house somewhere in South London and living off the rent from the other 10!!! It's a different world...

Anyway, that's my thoughts for the day... All it has done is cemented in my mind my priorities which have to be get rid of my debts ASAP and save save save!!!
