  • Week 276 – June 22nd – Weight

    Today my weight was the lowest it’s been in 5 years, 17st 7lbs – 111.13 kg. 

    Very impressed to reach this weight.

  • Week 276 – June 21st – Flimwell v Speldhurst

    Today I played at Flimwell and for the 1st time in years, I played with Nick Coffin.  It was good to see him, and he scored 27*. I didn’t bat today. 

    Due to a fair at our home ground, this was a home fixture for us at an away ground. 

    It was a lovely warm day and another excellent batting display by our skipper Chris, but we were struggling in the field, especially when we went down to 9 players and Flimwell were able to chase the target down. 

    Speldhurst 185-5 off 40 Overs (Chris Pannell 60, Ricky Singh 9-0-35-3) lost to Flimwell 186-3 off 33.2 Overs (Donovan Kennedy 67*, Martin Rigby 62*) by 7 wickets

  • Week 276 – June 21st – Now that’s customer service

    In July 2020, we had our stairs carpet lay, the carpet was meant to be hard waring because of the usage, but in the last year we noticed these threading issues on parts of the carpet, that wasn’t being trodden on. 

    I decided to raise a query with TAPI a few days ago; the company who we purchased the carpet from. 

    I must admit, I have been impressed with their response, as this morning they said they would replace the carpet and fit free of charge.  

    Always good to ask questions of companies as I have found out this year.

    No idea why this has happened to the carpet.

  • Week 276 – June 20th – Halifax

    Earlier in the week, I had received a letter from the Halifax building society, that If I didn’t visit a branch before September, the account would be closed. 

    So, I went to a branch in Eltham and when I got to a cashier, I was pleasantly surprised that the account had £950 in. 

    I had the account closed and money transferred.  

    So always make sure you read your post, that’s when you get some delivered.

    I then did something for the 1st time in my life and went into a bookie and placed two bets. 

    Watch this space.
