    I have also run more than I have driven but the numbers are very much smaller  :D

    DH has just booked for his vaccination, for next week.    I, unfortunately, will have to wait until the supply is back to full strength and they resume the roll-out for the under 50's.   Oh well.
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    I would take being under 50 vs being able to get my jab sooner any day of the week.

    I'd also like to apologise, I think because you are retired I had just assumed you were old enough to get your vaccine...even more congratulations on being able to go so early.
    I think....

    We've both been jabbed this week!

    I was contacted by my GP to go in and have mine.   So I guess they had cancellations or spaces and spare vaccine.   I was down there within 4 hours of getting the call-up!!    I didn't need to be asked twice!

    In other news, it looks like next week is going to be warm and sunny here for a few days at least...oh to feel warm sun on my face again.    Time to send DH up into the loft for the garden chairs!!    Get that Prosecco chilling!

    We were jabbed this morning. I had a few days off so did lots of digging in the veggie patch and it is all ready for planting out once risk of frost is past. Someone offered a cold frame on our street WhatsApp and that is now in place and full. We have optimistically booked a weekend in the camper in July and I discovered that our tickets for Beautiful Days festival have been carried over so we can go to that if we don't cancel by the end of April. Starting to feel a little bit more positive.

    Well the first quarter of 2021 is almost behind us (TFFT!)

    So for all you number crunchers out there, I'll do one of my updates next week.

    My nuts could have been a lot bigger but, with a younger brother currently living there, I don't think I'll see the benefit of a recently inherited house any time soon.

    Do you think you'll resolve this?   Do you think he might agree to move out and sell up one day?  I assume you both inherited equally.

    I hope it doesn't turn sour for you, like we read so much of on the Families and Relationships board.
