  1. A little purple stone from B&Q :)
    Divorce is never nice.
    Took me a while to get over it as I wanted to be one of those couples who grow old together! Just married the wrong man sadly.

    In my opinion the CSA are a waste of time they go after the wrong Dads not the ones that naff off or refuse to pay a cent to help their child.
    But the poor guys who are willing to pay.
    Then they shaft them.
    Try if you can to work out on their calculator what you need to pay and if you can't afford it then be honest with your ex.
    I shouldn't say this but I will some ex wife's get greedy and go through the CSa to get more.... And then get a shock when they get less

  5. Just in the process of decommissioning my trusty old push bike, "he" will then be put out to stud.
    "He" was a cheapo £69 mountain bike that I`ve had for 17 years :eek:.
    In that time its cost me some bearings for the rear sprocket cluster and one brake cable. I`ve neglected it and crashed it numerous times. The last time was a week after I`d been discharged from the hospital after breaking my collarbone. I`d gone for a ride with my son, we were messing about rubbing tyres, front against back, I jumped off the kerb then back on, miss timed it and fell off, luckily onto wet grass.
    When my daughter was about two I put a little seat on the crossbar and we used to go all over the place, when she became too big my son moved in.
    When I hurt my knee it was thrown in the shed and not touched for over a year, then dragged out, pumped the tyres up and away.
    Now, the tyres are bald and perished, both wheels are slightly buckled, the crank bearings are shot, the brakes are non existent and the pedal arms are rusted solid.
    It was going to cost £50-£80 to repair.
    My heart said pay it but my head said buy new, so that`s what I`ve done, another cheapy, £99 this time.

    I`m now planning a viking burial at sea, or the local river, for my old bike. It`s what "he" would have wanted :wink:.

    Underneath this rough exterior, I`m just a sentimental old silly heart.

  9. Still driving HGV, totally exhausted, went out to dinner with parents this evening because Dad was not driving all the way up to Great Yorkshire Show was Private Driving Class was cancelled due to bad weather. I have no idea how I will ever make it through the HGV test on Friday, but I will keep practicing and look on the bright side, at least I don't hit the curbs, apparently I am not 'forceful' enough yet.
