Cleaned the extractor hood yesterday and earned brownie points; these will be lost when she comes down from her conference call to and the lights no longer work...

Is there a good exchange rate?

I have given up collecting them instead I sing the Kaiser Chiefs “loves not a competition but I‘m winning”

Probably similar to different countries currency against the pound, in that each house has its own denomination for purchases. I know in my household i'm regarded as fairly useless in general as I often forget to do things. So my brownie points tend to work on a 5:1 ratio

The bane of my life - DVSA...again.
Theory tests were originally suspended until today from lockdown...
People have tests booked for tomorrow and onwards but as were still on lockdown theres a lot of uncertainty as to whether these are going ahead or not.
15 minutes ago the DVSA were " urgently " looking into the option of continuing the suspension....
How long does it take to think...we're on lockdown until May 7th at least, let's suspend them until the 11th.....
Obviously 3 or 4 days if you're a Government agency....
Muppets.

The wife took our dog to the vets yesterday for an ongoing problem a quick examination and repeat prescription with 4 different tablets.
The Vet said good news things feel just the same that'll be £141, sometimes you wonder if they're ripping you off.

Update, that dreaded day arrived , we had to put our beloved dog Millie to sleep this morning, trying to remember the 13.5 years of happiness gone in a few seconds, but it's so hard , the wife's in bits. R,I,P , Millie xx

Very sorry for your loss Billy - thoughts are with you and your wife
You did her the ultimate kindness - She is gone in seconds but you will remember her forever
I'm sure she had a wonderful happy life and knew only your love - for pets especially I think its the live they lived - not how long they lived them

Panic stations this morning when I realised my wedding ring wasn't on my finger.
I knew that it, and another ring, had been trying to escape because of all this hand washing , so I knew what had happened, but it didn't lessen the panic.
Anyway, the wife found it, so all is well.
But it has prompted the question.How many have lost rings because of excess hand washing.
Am I the only one on he forum to have done it?.?

Since I've been stuck at home I just don't wear my wedding ring, no point. It's been sitting on my bedside table for the last four/five weeks.

No, definitely LED’s. Usual for both to go together or something else? Might have heard a small pop when I turned them on. About 3 years old. Switch still bleeps and all the other 3 switches and the fan work fine, just the lights.

Tough mate, but that's a decent long innings - still hurts though.

I'm like you - I only really wear mine for protective purposes - a kind of romantic PPE

I am so sorry to hear that. It breaks your heart and never gets any easier. "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened"...

It helps me to believe in Rainbow Bridge and it's only until you meet again.
