Car Correction

Hello, what my DFS ("dear forgiving spouse" or duty free shopper", you decide) forgot to mention was that I hardly ever get to drive the car and when yesterday I eventually did get to drive it, I noticed that the knocking from the drive shafts had got really bad since I last drove. As the car can only be driven for ten years without renewing the license to keep it on the road (road tax is different and paid yearly like the UK), and we are 9 1/2 years already, I was umming and ahring about scrapping it. But as cars have a habit of doing, the Honda forced my hand. So we got it back now with a new battery, two new drive shafts, service etc, for less than two hundred quid.

On the money front, Steve, I have Bob sorting out the Ivinghoe house, 4 new windows and a door all in wondeful UPVC, plus making good the render for about three thousand eight hundred quid. Suppose, besides keeping the tenant, this may even add a bit of value to it.

What else. Mum you look good, worse bit was probably the GA right, stick a pipe down your throat, took me two days to get over that alone. Anyway, nice to see you standing.

Love Nic
