  • Week 272 – May 20th – Prevent ECB course

    After I completed the safeguarding course, shortly afterwards I tried the prevent course, which I had struggled with previously. 

    This time, I was able to pass the course, but on completion, it implied that I had never done the course and no certificate was available. 

    I contacted the ECB and after some communication, today they message me to say that everything was sorted and that I could download the certificate. 

  • Week 272 – May 19th – It’s can’t be that hard.

    Yesterday morning, I purchased a new Dyson vacuum, as our other one, God knows how long we have it wasn’t picking up as well as it use too. 

    Plus, there was a saving off £100, taking it from £379 to £279. 

    I had set if for collection, so we went today, 

    Got it back home, how many parts had to be connected and with not many instructions. 

    I turned it on and worked like a dream, until I came to take the hose out, could I get it out no. 

    This was crazy, why should something so simple, be so hard, though after Claire looked online, it was simple, again why couldn’t the instructions show this. 

    I don’t understand why instructions are becoming very poor and not helpful to the consumer?

    All you had to do was pull the inner tube all the way out and then outer tube would remove itself from the vacuum body. 

    This will change our I do the vacuum, but at least all is working. 

  • Week 271 – May 14th – Dad’s funeral

    Dad
    Dad’s last journey was his dream car – a Bentley.

    Well, the day has finally arrived and thankfully the weather gods must have been happy with dad, as it was a lovely sunny warm day. 

    We got over to mum’s house at midday and just sat and talked before the funeral cars arrived. 

    Did my dad do some extra planning, as the driver we had, his main trade was as a mechanic. 

    The funeral route took us passed and stopped where they used to live. 

    We arrived at the cemetery and had a wonderful service provided by the vicar that my mum had known for many years. 

    After that, we then went around to the burial location and the coffin was lowered down and many of us threw earth and roses down. 

    My mum was pleased how it went. 

    We then went back to mum and dad’s home 

    Ziya and Steve in memory of my dad, did a BBQ which went down very well with all the people that came back. 

    It was a lovely day, and I checked again with mum, and she was very happy with our it all went. 

    Dad
    Bentley, all three cars were immaculate.

    Dad
    Enjoying the sun and a cup of tea in his back garden.

    RIP in DAD 

  • Week 271 – May 14th – The long haul

    Just shows it’s the long haul, regarding the markets, especially when you have a Trump around. 

    The 19k I lost on March 9th week, has now been recovered with a 1K bonus. 

    Just annoying that I had to lose that with all these tariff issues.
