How much actual work do you think I'll manage today whilst I pace and await the delivery of the new truck?

Those gifts, including the flowers, are almost all from people for whom the buzzy one has gone above and beyond star

Monday is the first day he would have been at work if he was still working. Let's see if he's bored by then :)

How many anti theft things are you putting in or on it Stander?
Can you transfer the reg plate / number?

(Being on holiday is the best way to start retirement. I spent my last working day driving to Keswick for a holiday. Mainly becasue the bigco SW system couldn't cope with leaving on a Bank Holiday so defaulted to the end of week)

Registration plate can and will be transferred (paperwork posted today) but it can't be reassigned until six months have elapsed from the theft.

Unless I want to get pulled over by every copper with an ANPR system in their car.
