Thai Spice Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Jim beam at the beach, with the 4 waitresses for me alone... Sucks to get old, a few years ago I would have "contracted" 2 of them for a few months.... Never need to stress in life. Not even about getting old, as you cant do anything about it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPK Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Just back from doing the local 5k park run route. I’m climbing the walls being stuck in the house. Going to Tesco in a bit then pick a series on Netflix to watch. Exciting stuff 😂 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a vegetable or coleslaw in sight. That's a real man's delivery right there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizondave Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Just cleaned the house while the wife is doing all the clothes washing. Soon to be getting the little one to do her homework which she receives everyday, pretty extensive requirement for her too. I will then take myself to bed to watch a movie or two with a pint or two of beer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Horizondave Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 My wife just had a conference call with her employer (Fullers) who have confirmed she is being furloughed (she has been off a week already). She was told she will receive full pay until 03 April and then after the company will be paying 80 percent of her wages each week until such time as she is called back into work (with 48 hours notice). The company have confirmed that they will not be waiting till the government coughs up but will pay ongoing their pay at 80 percent. Now it isn't a big salary but getting around £200 net each week and sitting at home has put a smile on her face.....mine too. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered £79 worth, though just checked my Bank app and the 'pending' payment to Tesco's shows £41, just over half ffs, so loads currently unavailable. Most of those lines have probably been withdrawn from sale becauce of the streamlining thats happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find this odd as I had 5.5 months off sick last year but I must be doing something right. Always knew my work ethic would have benefits so been a good day for both Porn and I. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news, I made a personal effort to support Fullers last night on hearing your news. This was of course a totally selfless act on my behalf🤔 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
