Cheers Andy they make a big fuss about your well being before you start and then it's out of the window.
Glad I drove here so I can pack up and be gone.
Will give it till Saturday and then home I think.
Two days rest after Czech Republic was not enough.

Take care Phil.
I only do a couple of days of work a week now, just enough money to keep me ticking over, I’ve got not much money but I don’t want to be doing full weeks right up to I’m 67. Just recently I had a bug that went on for weeks. This week I caught my vein on my wrist with a new saw, my glove was red within seconds.I’m getting old now and it’s time to relax.

Totally agree that's my plan too just had the opportunity to do these jobs I'm match fit in my own workshop but what's being expected here and working everyday is taking its toll.
As Chris said do take care all.

Morning all , yeah definitely time to take the world at a slower pace Phil and Nibby , ageing didnt creep up on me , it kinda leapt on my back it seems all of a sudden, seems one minute I had no problem walking 10-20 miles across dessert of jungle terrain searching for the yellow stuff ,Jumping in and out of diggers and servicing washplants , found after the last leave that it just made me tired each day earlier and earlier almost to the degree i was doing half days ,its a sign and something to be heeded or pay the consequences ,the extra buck just isnt worth a heart attack. Back out next month for my very last final stint and official company handover.
Phil there will always be another motor to fix at your leisure on home turf

Run faster! Morning, all. Today I get home and hopefully get some actual sleep. Which would be nice.
Phil, get well soon. Hope you can stick it out.

Retirement is sounding more like an option as each year passes

Good morning everyone, YADO.
Finished off the toilet room yesterday and it looks mighty fine if I say so myself. All for less than £400, that's for a toilet unit, toilet, sink unit including sink, and two little cupboard units and flooring. B&Q wanted a grand for the above and 2 grand for fitting. And I fitted the same Veleka units. Go figure ...

Some outlets are just taking the Mickey. The units I bought are not worth 3 figures, finding an outlet that traded in seconds because the box is damaged is worth it. Even factoring in travelling to Bolton and Sunday lunch with my mum as a bonus.

Being a tight asssss*,is one way of looking at it. I prefer calling it, being cost effective or getting more from our hard earned...
