  • Week 18 –June 29th 2020 – Week 15 of lockdown

    This was the news I had been waiting for. I was in a good place now and with the weather being so good, I had already made myself available to play for New Ash Green.

    Dear all,

    We are delighted that the UK Government has given the green light for recreational cricket in England* to return from Saturday July 11.

    The latest update from the UK Government signals progression from Step 3 to Step 4 of ECB’s roadmap to return for the recreational game, meaning competitive cricket matches in England with adjustments to respect hygiene and social distancing would be permitted.

    ECB has maintained a constant dialogue with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) throughout this process and the UK Government have stated that COVID-secure guidance will be published in the coming days.

    Guidelines are already prepared for the return of recreational cricket and following the Prime Minister’s comments, will now be finalised and published early next week.

  • Week 15 –June 8th 2020 – Week 12 of lockdown

    Now earlier in the year (February) we had done a Government National Statistics survey about living. We were asked at the end if we would do other surveys and we said yes, not knowing that the next one would be so major!!

    In early June I received a letter which had On Her Majesty’s Service, was I finally going to be James Bond 🙂

    COVID19 survey swab testing

    Erm NO, this was to be COVID19 swab testing, first for five weeks in a row and then once a month for a year.

    We thought anything to help fight this virus, it’s not pleasant, but at least we do ourselves and we know we are in the clear or not. Plus reading all these stories about people struggling to get a test, we had them coming to us 🙂

  • Week 8 – April 20th 2020 – Week 5 of lockdown

    People that know me, know that often I don’t follow the process or the rules, this is one of them. I had a meeting with the Government free Pensions wise service. You should really have it before you deal with a financial advisor.

    I would recommend having the call and in my case it just backed up everything I had found out. From memory that are 6 ways you can handle your pension pots.

    All I can recommend is, the earlier you start saving the better your future will be. 🙂
