Fall too Pieces

Well the phones have gone just waiting on my 225 payment i think it was from music magpie.
Me and my oh's summer yorkshire break is nearly paid, 400 still to pay.

Work situation is annoying is i havent got a clue with whats happening and i dont think my bosses have either and its setting off my inner chimp Davey the grouch. I hate not knowing whats going on, and i have a 1500-2000 asset outside i want to sell but am reluctant to do so. Last year was a night mare with driving lessons, it went like this.

Jan Feb March 8 lessons then lockdown they got knocked on head.

End August I resumed then, then i think by October they were off again.

I fluffed my therory test in September and in November i managed to get a slot in Skipton to redo it and passed. Yes i had to drive or my oh did to skipton from durham to do it as only local slots were 2021.

I booked my driving test for Feb then i got two lessons in over the xmas period during to me having covid in november/december then guess what lock down three started i am sick. I am waiting to here back from my driving instructor to see when they will restart.

Well my update is as follows. 

Cash wise all is good its a couple of weeks before payday and i still have money in the bank just under 100quid. My other halfs 40th is today and  i have pulled out alot towards that she is a spoilt lady. 

Survey wise is slow and steady i have being clicking 2-3 quid a day extra and i have just dropped 7 quid off prolific. I have the week off work so it wont stay like that  

My music magpie money came in last week for the two phones which was a big big help £235 quid extra in the bank. 

Step change i am gunna ring soon and up the payments as my motorbike finance finishes this month. I think from June i am gunna take it up another 50-75pm.

Hi Scott - good to see you back posting!  Sorry to hear of your Covid woes though. It must have been frightening for you but glad to hear you're so much better now. 

I'd keep the bike until you have some idea from work on how your working arrangements develop. Mind you going forward  I reckon they'll keep as many of you WFH as possible - it'll save them shedloads. That's what my firm has announced - everyone will work from home at least one day a week and more if sensible.  Still it won't be my problem to ponder soon as I retire in two weeks and can't wait!😀
Glad to hear all is going well with you and your partner. 👍

my workplace has told us when we will do return to the office which is likely to be in June , it will be on a rota system. Our parking has always been a problem so this does help that problem.
I don't think many people will have everyone back in a daily basis.
probably a lot of big office blocks coming up for conversion to flats soon I would imangine

Aye covid was no picnic i want to slap the anti vaccine mob they are brainless. The ward i was in a was a mix of all ages, and if you bear in mind i am not old, i am not overweight i exercise dont drink now etc etc and it hit me like a tonne of bricks i think my oxygen levels were 86-88 the day i got took in 

Well its saved me a fair bit too, no tax, no petrol, no insurance etc

I would be happy not having to gan back its nice working from home i dont have a commute, i finish work at 645am and by 715am i am in bed and zzz zzz zzz.  I can chill on the sofa on my breaks and catch up watching sport, i have a nice coffee machine unlike the mankey coffee at work.  I also miss the office junk ie no bitching, no people constantly being mood hoovers or moaning about nowt. 

I think your right re flats etc, i work normally pre covid on a big business park we have being told our place is looking for new premises. And i doubt the premises will be india which has always being a worry.

I think if your firm is looking for new premises it probably means that they want to downsize (cheaper) which says that they won't be able to fit everyone back in the office at the same time. With a bit of luck you'll be at home for most of the week!😀

I need some advice abit random i know but can anyone recommend a decent carpet shampoo i have seen loads on fleabay but not sure which one to buy? And vacumm cleaner wise for a budget of 200-300 which is the best to go for i have an old hoover and its on the way out.

I've had someone come in to clean my bedroom carpet in the past, but use Vanish spray to clean the odd spot. I think they do make a version whereby you can clean a whole carpet.  You could also hire a carpet shampoo machine for a day and do it yourself if you have quite a bit of carpet to clean. 

Re vacuum cleaner, I have a Shark cordless which is good for my small flat - I think I paid around the £250 mark. What you could do is google 'vacuum cleaner Best Buy 2021' and this should bring up some good reviews so that you can find something that suits in and is in your price range.
