General life story

  • 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.

  • Week 269 – May 1st – BBC

    This morning, I completed a survey regarding the future of the BBC for the BBC. 

    Overall, I think it provides a good service, especially the news and documentaries. 

    Could provide more live sport, but that obviously comes down to money. 

  • Week 269 – April 28th – Roof

    I took some pictures this morning regarding having the roof cleaned, after seeing what this company had done at my parents’ house.

  • Week 268 – April 22nd – New laptop

    After a few days of doing the cricket job, I realised that I needed a new laptop.  

    After discussing with Mark, I decided to purchase a laptop from Dell.  

    Main features, being a large screen, 32GB of memory, and good network card. 

  • Week 268 – April 21st – Magic Radio top 100 artists

    Earlier in the year I voted for my 3 favourite music artists and today Magic Radio played the top 100. 

    This is where my selection finished in the top 100 

    Pet Shop Boys 35th 

    Michael Jackson 9th 

    Queen 2nd 

    In 1st place was George Michael and the highest female artist was Whitney Houston at 5th. 

  • Week 266 – April 9th – Thank you Trump NOT

    On Wednesday, I always check my pension, and I was not looking forward to it with all news around the Trump tariffs and the market loosing big time. 

    Sure, enough and after looking back through my records, this was only 5th time I had lost over £10K in one week, but this was the most ever of £19k 

    How can one man in a different country impact mine and Claire future and where we can do nothing about it. 

    After speaking to both my financial adviser and financial market analysis, it just sit tight and hope he comes to his senses – which is a worrying thought. 

  • Week 265 – April 4th – First financial win of the year

    Today I picked up our first Lottery financial win of the year.

    We have had several lucky dip wins, this was actually from the Euro Lottery, which I did for the first time, as the Jackpot was £202, which someone in Europe won.

  • Week 261 – March 6th – Cost of living survey

    Over a month since I was first asked if I would do this survey, we were finally able to do it.

    Bob came around and asked various questions. Most were the same from other times we had done the survey.

    This is one of the ways the government see how households are coping in life regarding living and cost of stuff.
