TROSaracen Sep 2023 7:49am, 16 Sep 2023 26,971 posts	0 TROSaracen Well next 3/4 days consist of me working my ass off removing carpet and restoring the wooden floor beneath it. Did that with the hallway back in April’s, looks brilliant so resolved to do rest when I could. It’ll be longer working days than when I was working…🤣🤣

Bazoaxe Sep 2023 1:08pm, 19 Sep 2023 25,622 posts	0 Bazoaxe Heard today of someone just turned 60 and made redundant. Happy days I guess. Seem to have been a few redundancies. Looks like the redundancies didn’t hit my area of the business. Yet. If we ever finish transformation it might at that time.
um Sep 2023 6:29pm, 19 Sep 2023 7,724 posts	0 um Have been trying to sort MiLs car insurance out today. What a shock. As a warning, if you plan to be driving past 90, you need to reset your budgets to cover insurance.
Lip Gloss Sep 2023 6:56pm, 19 Sep 2023 71,322 posts	0 Lip Gloss My NHS application is in so should get final figures through soon - not that it will stop me leaving anyway.
