    Sorry to be so late with my September total. 30/24 . Thats 3 full months in a row I think.
    Late last month I had a cataract removal.and now have two fixed distance lense,cant see a bat anything close by. Doing this on my laptop,zooming on full and though I can type I cant really see what is on the page .All done by guess and by god.Using a phone for texts is impossible cant make out a thing. Eye test the 17th,so hopefully by next month I will be able to see this. lol
    But will post my usual 24 AFDs for October.

    @dustydigger so sorry to hear you've not been having the easiest time, I know you probably won't be back to read this for three weeks or so but hope your eyes recover soon xx :)

    4/20 please
    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 !!

    You can increase font size in 'settings' and use bold as well, I think.

    6 today please and usual service resumes. No dodgy dancers lat week-end although we did see one individual that resembled 10 pounds of baking potatoes in a 6 pound bag!
    Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!
