The Rover's Return was always full
And glamorous Elsie on the pull
Didn't she hitch up with that builder Len?
But she was oggled by all the men

Yes. I missed last years. It only used to be the need to keep 200 in their current account and I'd moved all my savings elsewhere as their rates aren't good.

I think I saw that in a MSE newsletter so I checked and there is a regular saver that pays a decent rate and I set that up. I thought I'd missed this year's goodies till the email arrived.

Tell them it's a rented house so not your responsibility. If they want to speak to the owner, give them the Councils number. 

Bins are out waiting for the lorries.

GP appointment shortly,  then up to the Co-op.

Then this afternoon I have got a gardener coming to help me for a little while.   I've got a bit of heavy stuff to do and don't quite feel quite strong enough lately.

Just had an email saying Nationwide are sending us another £100 in June.
Has anyone else been notified yet?

Whatever happened to Enna and Minnie?
And that one who wore a pinny?
Martha ran off with Ellsie's old man
Was he the one with that three wheel van? 
He bought from a bloke called Vinnie.

Yes,  I know what you mean Ashy.

If they are not emailing us, they are phoning or texting,  and that's as well as them who knock the door telling us they just happen to be working nearby and wondered if I wanted my driveway weeds doing, or my roof tiles looked at . . . .

What's wrong with telly these days
Far too much violence always
And telling us to 'make a plan'
before we all go down the pan
It was better when it was black white and greys

THEY are watching us... None of us are free .. Even if we think we are..
 
I wonder if, in the future, we will have to speak in whispers.. Or just make eye contact..
And people will disappear without a trace..
You may mock.. but the future is a scary place..

Good idea for a film ..
