Nanu,Pondrew, Yes, i am still on the planet :D

Have been over consumed with Pain management, sleep depravation and weight loss :thumbsdown:
Weight down to 57.1 Kg :? I took my shirt off to show the "EX". She burst into tears. :cry:

Care is now with Pilgrims Hospice, Ashford. They have offered to take me in for a few days or a week to see if they
can help with pain and sleep etc. Not keen on this as may not come out :o :cry: I have told them i will see how the next week
goes and let them know.

Finances all sorted, redundancy banked and pension bits cashed in, inc the works one. 100 % drawn and all at 100% TAX free :thumbsup:1536Z4, Was confirmed yesterday that both PIP & EAS have been granted and should be receiving very shortly.
Thanks for the heads up guy's, i had no idea these exsisted. Oh, Blue badge should be in the post shortly also :lol:

Having been stuck in here for 6 month's and no treatment appointments next week, i have booked a couple of nights away.
Treat and pamper the "EX" as she has been brilliant those last 6 months. Weather looks great next Thursday / Friday 8)

X3:
The boy still liking the car so is keeping it. Hannah loves it and is being used daily :thumbsup:
I gave him the V5 and has sent it of.
It had the last owner still on it (i never sent it off) and not the Motor trader i got it off. So not sure if will
automatically be registered to him ?? but at least they should come back with questions ? Do not know how this works nowadays ?
Hope it does not get complicated !!??

Z4:
Still running it as much as possible. The boy still not taken it out :o :? May just re-register into the "EX's" name ? Let them take it
from there.

So all good and as well as could be expected, i suppose.

N4LLY, good to hear from you.
Seems you are making the best you can of a sh*tty situation.
Whenever any of us feel a bit hard done by we should all think of you. If you can be this upbeat where you're at, then the rest of us should just shut up and get on with it.
Inspirational mate! Good for you. :thumbsup:

The trip is something to look forward to, good to hear you still think of us reprobates.

The V5 new owner part for the X3 will bypass your name, the trader should have sent it off but didn’t by the sound of it. Guess you didn’t get tax reminders either (the previous owner will have gotten those - surprised they didn’t contact dvla )

Yep, with DD you don’t get a reminder unless the mot is due at the same time where you get a letter stating they won’t be able to take DD unless the mot has been done on time.

Good to see you got all the finances sorted . PIP and ESA may just cover the cost of a few ice creams at those venues :rofl: Hope you enjoy your break with the EX and the weather stays fine :thumbsup:

Glad you got the finances sorted N4LLY. That must be a weight off your mind.

You have clearly got a great support network.

Good to hear from you Sean, guess we've all been wondering how you are doing, lovely, generous break for you and Ex which trust will be great. Def the right move regarding the Hospice for giving it a miss, I hope I can avoid it too. All very best to you and sincere regards, Mike.

Almost feel guilty about bothering you with all that you are going through but hop you know its because as a community we care.

Great to hear that things you can control are getting sorted which must be on less thing for you to worry about.

PVR, I hope your train driver mates do not extend their strike from today through to the weekend.
That would p*ss me off big style :headbang:

This is the latest info from Sky. Overtime ban runs through until the 11th, I assume during the OT ban just the odd train will be cancelled.
