sure you didn’t miss a box to tick somewhere?
It’s the price from the renewal email so exactly the same cover, checked through and it still has business use as well. Shocked to say the least!
Flat sale went through, was down to my last 400 quid! Pressure off.
Still not earning yet but extended my runway so pressure is off for now. Got to get my shit together, that was a close one!
Also, booked tickets to London next week with my 3 yr old. First time he’s ever been to UK.
Mile End forum meet?
Could work! Unlike my knees! Will check weather this weekend and see if there’s a day that looks good
After a turbulent time for the film industry and no solid work since last October, I just got asked back to do the 3rd season of house of dragons . It was the last contracted job (season 2) I was on in 2023 before the strikes shut the industry down .
Fucking stoked is an understatement.
Wow that’s ace!
Amazing! Stoked for you @Chopper !
Thanks man , perfect timing for looking at changing my mortgage rate too, just what my lender wants to see . Phew
Visiting a friend in Glasgow and last night, we went to a little fundraiser at a bowls club of all places and saw a band that reminded me of The Softies.
Good craic, aye.
Got the nod that I passed my 6 month probation at my job today. Didn’t got into too worried but still so nice to have that peace of mind! Buzzing!
Things have not been going well for me lately so I’ll take the wins where I can.
It was my sons nativity this morning.
I went back home after dropping him off at school this morning, avoiding the 45+ minute queue(!) that started at like quarter to 9.
I got in dead last, stood up at the back probably with the best view and because I was by the door I was the first one out the moment it ended.
Nativity success.
Fucking people whinge about NHS, snapped the fillings out my front teeth (were fucked anyway) yesterday, saving up for new front teeth, Mrs late Dad’s hook up, so no Turkey teeth for me.
Called NHS Dentist yesterday, bookable appointment was Jan 23rd, had a cancellation 8.45am today so took it obvs, popped in fixed my fillings while I’m saving, £49, out, by 9.15am. It’s not elite dentistry but it means I haven’t got two massive gaps in my front teeth.
Same with bumhole operation last year, and going to GP face to face for a referral and med review.
Super quick, respect, maybe I’m lucky.
Didnt use the yorkshire hip hop dentist then?
You mean keyhole? Or actual bumhole?
Whats that?
I pay about €2500 per year for health insurance for me, the lady and our son. Standard doctors’ visits are €70, you get a €20 rebate if you have VHI / Bupa / etc. Son had a minor outpatient injury (a deep cut playing football), so the quick turnaround private clinic was €100, otherwise it’s an all-day wait in A&E. It’s not utterly vital like in the US (or anywhere as fucked), especially as we rarely need any healthcare, but yeah, PITA to have to fork out each month for it.
Man I pay 4308 francs which is 4641 euros a year just for myself, and that’s the cheapest deal I can get as I hardly ever need any healthcare. And this simply means I’m insured, if anything happens I still have to pay for everything until I reach a certain amount (about 2700 euros). Welcome to Switzerland. Good thing all I get is colds I suppose. Ginger, honey and lemon are my wallet’s best friends.
Was going to say WTF but then realized we pay about 20% of our income tax to NHS in the Uk so it’s prob about the same for us
