Let’s take a moment that this lover of scatter cushions, sausages and cuddles is 15 today. He’s got dementia, can’t see past his nose and is more clingy than a toddler. He’s my best friend. Happy birthday Bomber. 💕

Viewing houses to buy & there is a growing and alarming trend to convert garages into second living rooms, play rooms & offices. This needs to stop, we need to maintain safe spaces for motorcycles, lawnmowers & the rubbish you want to keep but dont want to put in the loft.

About 30 years ago I bought a rare Fender Telecaster with Dad in Southampton. I sold it 22 years ago when I needed cash to a guy in Somerset. Always regretted selling it, especially now dads no longer in my life. Saw the very guitar on eBay yesterday. Picking it up this weekend.

@MichaelLCrick Legally impossible to do. That’s not how public sector procurement works. Terminating a contract without a supplier to take over is ridiculously risky. Have Fujitsu been found to be in breach of a contract in court? I’m not sure they have.

For context, He bid way below the asking price first then upped it when he knew there was competition. It went to Best & Final offers and I accepted a FTB couple, she cried when they were told they won. He then put in a high bid.
