Well AC you're clearly feeling energetic enough to be planning winning over footballers' wives. Just start with one at a time.

Dentist no fun but could have been worse. Can you believe I am forbidden alcohol for 24 hours?!

On a brighter and bizarre note,I notice that the local news is somewhat different and calmer . No stabbings / shootings etc . Nothing really depressing TBH . On meridian /itv ,Fred dinage pops up .
How ?

Yes, our news down here is what you may call soft news. Lost dogs etc etc. My daughter laughs at it when she visits.

Location, location, location. Why do you think some areas cost more than others?

LL, I would have thought you, of all people, would know this. So what if Bournemouth is nearer to London than Poole? Poole is nearer to Devon... and there are the crime maps.

AC. Suggestion - go to a pound shop and buy a 2017 diary for all your personal deadline dates and to use as a journal/spending record for your new life after Christmas.

Good that your thinking clearly and doing some forward planning, keep that focus and everything will drop into place as you progress with rest and fitness. Yes I remember the softer news programmes, it's a different world down south!

I cannot believe today is Thursday already. Yesterday , it was a week since all my stuff was moved into storage here in Poole .
Today it's a week ago , since the rubbish run and move .

Listening to Steve Allen on Lbc this morning ( yeah, I was awake at 4.30 this morning ), he called Bournemouth gods waiting room .

Thinking about when and how to spread the funds in my Acct .
Must focus on not blowing anything, and buying something practical but nice.
Trying to workout the best time to make settlement offer to Payplan .

Next week, will be joining gym& hopefully doctors surgery.
