    I'm still alive.

    Got a message asking if I was OK. Weekly_Estimate, I appreciate you greatly. Just getting recovered from a massive facial cellulitis infection last month. I had to replace my phone and computer but I'm happy with both and life is actually going pretty decent. Just going well all around.

    I saw you had the last comment in here and I thought exactly this. Well done, glad you're still kicking.

    Big ouch at the cellulitis there, highly unpleasant stuff. My shins are both absolutely wrecked from it, both just delicate scar tissue now.

    Good to see that you are still with us :thumb:

    Better to have them mitigate the impact of a positive shock like that.

    I'll send you my Christmas list, but you'll need to act quickly to make the post...

    Took the DWP to tribunal bc they're lying liars who lied.

    Tribunal agreed.

    I win.

    Was more about the principle than the money but **** that was 6 months of grief I could've done without...

    You could keep it busy with left foot braking.

    Tried that once, when I were a lad. Good thing there was nobody following, stood the car on it’s nose!

    Just got a call from the garage.

    Dropped the car in this morning after warning lights on the dash and losing the turbo. Expected a massive bill but turns out its just a sensor and total cost for the diagnostics, fault finding, new sensor and fitting is just under £250! He will have it fixed tomorrow.

    Very impressed!

    Crammed an extra patient in for an appointment at very short notice, they brought us chocolates!

    It's nice to be appreciated sometimes :grin:
