A 5.1 for me today. Dull and grey here but at least it's not raining (famous last words). 🙂
Stay safe and dry everyone.

Good morning/moaning! Woken by Phantom Pain an hour ago. BG 7.8, now 8.4. Waiting for pain killer to cut in. This Phantom pain sucks more than diabetes, in fact sucks^2! Swore worse than Max when I woke!
No appointments today but then three on consecutive day so I can have a lie in. Tomorrow's mean a pickup from 07:00am. That sucks as well!
Raining!
Thanks. He left school after his exams June 2023 and started a butcher’s apprenticeship a week later. He’s on a decent wage for a trainee, he’s saved almost all his salary since the day he started. He had saved enough to buy his auntie’s Seat Ibiza by Christmas. £5000. He since has saved almost £10.000! He gives his parents £40 a week, pays £35 a week driving lessons and fills his car up with petrol, he drives himself to and from work ( 40 miles a day) with his parents supervising him obviously. He doesn’t spend anything else. It does help living in the middle of nowhere sometimes!@eggyg good luck to your grandchildren in their driving tests, and congrats to your grandson for his savings!
I don't think anyone in my group of friends had enough money for a car at 17, unless their parents saved it for them. I see here a lot of people start working as teenagers and that was less common in my country, at least for my generation. Probably wasn't so unusual in my parents time, and I know my grandparents were working since 12 years old!
Thanks Jo. Not sure they were nicer in 1992/3 when it took me four attempts before I passed. TBF that was probably just me! 😛Driving tests are horrible, and arbitrary but hopefully the northern examiners are nicer than the ones down south! Have a good
