Back home after lovely weekend at Ferry Meadows, new handbook had arrived in the post, finally.
Nice to see everyone getting their handbook but still waiting for mine and nothing wrong with our postal service!
Glad you enjoyed FM Helen.

Hope your OH's op goes well Husky Dog. It was about 6 weeks after Mr H's hip operation that he felt mobile enough to use our MH with our daughter driving. Probably about 8 to 10 weeks before he drove it.
We have been to the funeral of our eldest granddaughter's other grandad this afternoon. He was a farmer and it was in a perishing cold little country church with a burial afterwards in pouring rain. However we were fed and watered well back at the farm afterwards. I have just about thawed out now.

Brue and Bakers.
I gave up on the banks many years ago (20 or so) in respect of interest returns, invested money cautiously in Investment trusts and Unit trusts. Since then converted to ISAs where any gains are tax free (including dividends if still held within them.) Never regretted it, despite the market crashes and recoveries. However, do not go down that route without competent professional advice.

It was a lovely service Bakers2. Well deserved as he was a lovely man - a true gentleman. We will all miss him. It was actually colder inside the church than outside and we made the mistake of getting there 20 minutes before the service started so sat and froze.😦

Hope the funeral service went well villages churches are usually so cold, we had to attend a funeral in a village church last year in the winter, I couldn't stop my teeth chattering.
Hope you had a lovely birthday celebration on Sunday.

We had a lovely birthday celebration thanks Helen. There was a change of plan and we all decided to go out for a meal instead. We went to an Italian as all the grandchildren like pasta and pizza. Hope you had a good journey home and it wasn't too windy. It has been horrid here this afternoon. Windy and cold with dark sky and very heavy showers.

Inflatables are nothing new!
OH's parents had a camping shop inAyr back in the 50s/60s/70s , there was a company called PTC ( the Pneumatic Tent Company) which sold a tent held up by inflatable ribs, it was called the Igloo, and was indeed igloo shaped.
We used one a few times, it was very good, but never really caught on then.
Frame tents were all the rage in the 60s/70s.

Oh yes we have. A woman after my own heart, I look on it as a challenge too. Quite funny when we sit with bank/building society employee male iron female and discuss they direct comments initially to hubby. He says she's my financial adviser speak to her. I agree or challenge what they say. Get things sorted. Then they say to him do you agree? To wind them up he says I say yes to what she says. I'm sure they think he agrees under duress and coercion 😃. Naturally he is so well trained he wouldn't dare contradict me 😂😂😂😮😮

Hope that means it will go out like a lamb as our first trip away is booked for first week in April.

How true, totally agree!!
We are not supporting our children these days, but we still buy stuff for them without expecting the money back.
Mainly they are very good at remembering we have bought stuff for them, but if not, we do not bother much as we can afford to help them out.
When we had students, we found it was best to have deep pockets, now they are working (and have more income than us) things are better!

Yes, they do really check out what the patient can do.
2 years back, OH fell down the stairs and broke her shoulder very badly, amongst other injuries, and had to have a half shoulder replacement.
Before she was allowed home, even though her legs were not affected, other than being very badly bruised, she had to show she could manage stairs, as we have stairs at home.

Wrong quote....but never mind.........no idea how to fix it anyway!
We have a few bank shares from when they were building societies, but they are not doing too well!
For the grandchildren we are doing children's investment plans, which are basically unit trusts etc. Seem to be doing OK at the moment. They will not get access to them till they are at least 21, so in for the long term. They are now 11 and 7.

Have you thought about moving to a bungalow, Kjellnn, so that it's no longer necessary to manage the stairs?

We got up at sunrise to a lovely sunny morning here in Redhill.
