Fozzie Posted October 11, 2024 Posted October 11, 2024 Good afternoon! Or is it evening now the nights are drawing in? Just finished work, and got packing to do. Decluttering the flat as we are rapidly approaching the date we get it on the market. I feel ready to get into a house, but equally, I feel it's going to be very costly. My area saw 3-4 bed properties rise by 4 times the average wage in 5 years, peaking back in 2022. The flat I'm in saw a good rise, but nowhere near the rate of the houses. I was hoping the post covid bubble pop would put a bigger dent in the market than it has. 2 Quote

Mawsley Posted October 12, 2024 Posted October 12, 2024 Good evening. Beginning to wonder if I should have a bike anymore. When I’ve not been injured I’ve been ill, and when I’ve been neither of them I’ve been operated on. This has been the most pathetic year for riding. Bar the run to the pub with the long name and the other day out with a number sheet, I doubt I’ve covered more than 100 miles. Developed an awful hernia last Saturday. Back to hospital - and now banned from riding for another 6-8 weeks. I'm a bit grumpy about it all tbh. 1 7 Quote
bonio Posted October 13, 2024 Posted October 13, 2024 @MawsleyThat's grim. The missus is like this. Every year some new injury or illness. One year it was shingles. Then a bad achilles and she couldn't walk. Last year she had pneumonia. Twice. This year bad shoulder, bad neck and bad back all rolled into one. You could see the pain on her face. It gets her down. 4 Quote

Gerontious Posted October 13, 2024 Posted October 13, 2024 I had my Covid jab on Wednesday and the flu is booked for the 23rd. I got email invitations for both. The Flu is at my doctor’s surgery while the Covid was at a pharmacy just up the road. I could have had them both at the same time - but elected to have them spread apart. I get 2 Covid jabs per year. I had one back in march. 2 Quote
