    Enjoy your post birthday weekend @maman

    Sorry to read about the band @RobM99, but very early mornings don’t sound fun.

    Declaring 4/15 for yesterday but I am pleased as was v tempted by a bottle of wine en route home and resisted. I have no spare days this month if I am to reach target as away again for 4 nights week after next. Hope I can resist again tonight!

    Morning all, 16 please. Didn't get into the new band!   Yes, I'm surprised too but maybe not a bad thing, there would have been a lot of  get-home-at-three-in-the-mornings - hmmm...not sure I'd fancy that. Car passed MOT so not all bad!
    @RobM99 I'm sure something will come your way soon, you're obviously a good bassist, and weren't this new band a bit of a hire-and-fire lot as well? Probably best avoided. x

    14/23 including this evening.   

    Drank yesterday and feel very ill today. I'm wondering if age has led to increased intolerance.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
