In other good news today this (below) fits easily in the back of the Kodiaq with the front wheel and seat off and the centre section of the back seat folded...   I'm well chuffed with that.

Returning to work after 4 looooong months off on the sick

Well, the thread title is ‘moment’ of joy...

 

Checked on the Premium Bond app for the list of high value prize winners, and there it was. £25,000 win -

 

location Hertfordshire, Tick.  

Winner’s holdings, exactly the same as what Mrs B holds (which is not a ‘round’ number).  Tick.  

 

Mrs B had purchased the same sized ‘chunk’ of bonds containing the winning bond. Tick.  
 

Yes! 
 

Unfortunately, individual winnings details aren’t released until tomorrow, but being impatient, I sorted out the list of her holdings.  The winning bond number is not on her list!

 

Euphoria over, as was the ‘moment of joy in my day’.  But what a set of coincidences.

 

oh well, there’s always next month, I suppose

Back to the old job or did you make the career change?

 

In either case congratulations!

Cheers JR  

 

I did indeed change my job in the end and now working for the training company I was doing my apprenticeship theory with. 
 

It’s a funny old world!

Being told by the vet today that all three of our rescue dogs, two of which we've only had four months are all spot on weight wise and she can see the improvement in the two girls coats and temperaments. 

This somewhat contrasts my post in the saddened you today topic. Light and shade...

Acquiring an on-the-blink heatpump tumble dryer and finding an 8uF motor capacitor that reads 4uF. Fingers crossed a very cheap and easy fix.🤞

A level results day...    Eldest came away with A* A A and a place at Lancaster to do astrophysics... 

 

Not bad for a kid who had shingles during her exams and went to a big comprehensive with 2000 pupils, a relatively new sixth form and a very economically diverse catchment.   We're  chuffed to bits for her.

Seeing the Lancaster at Eastbourne Airborne this afternoon:

 

 

And getting buzzed by one of the Red Arrows - photo from my back doorstep:

 

 

No time to zoom in properly, but I might check my ridge tiles 😎

Insurance all sorted out. Been offered at £984.19 (more costly since I pay monthly) without one of those black box things too. Accepted and will begin at the end of the month. Smashing.

 

Biggest kicker is that it's cheaper for other, larger cars, but the effort required to find something else I like is more than I'd like to put into finding another car. So a bit mixed feeling about all that. But still, cheaper insurance!

Congrats. I'm now past 50 and heading for larger numbers. 10 -20 speed up, but 40 plus go at speed of light.

remember trying to film them out the window of a moving car in 2003 at the IOM TT, think they were on display every second day for race week.

The company I work for has been bought out by a competitor, however no jobs are being lost and there aren't any relocation plans (for the next 12 months).

 

But starting next payday (september) we're all getting a £150 pcm pay increase to help with increasing living costs (which translates to about £80pcm after taxes/NI/student loan/Pension). Nice little surprise!

managing to get my hands on a license for a piece of work software that we lost access to 3 1/2 yrs ago.

got a chuckle when IT support had to run the installer through a dos prompt as win defender wouldnt even let him run it as an admin 

and then a massive ego boost when i did a comparison test of my semi automated excel version of the same thing against the proper software and my version gave the same results within about 0.1%  So i actually do know what im doing!
