Sorry All.
Bit of an overstatement.
I've been officially retired for 18 years but as you all know I keep on keeping on.
Trouble is there is not as much work at the moment, as usual January and February are very quiet in the holiday field. On top of which my son and his family are moving out. It took me 14 years to get some cash out of them to help with running costs and the loss of that albeit smallish amount exacerbates the situation. British Gas have capitulated and dropped their electricity hike by a big bite, even lowered the gas charge while at it. Phoning the buggers worked.
OK. I am hanging on and if work picks up again, I’ll ride on for a few more months.

Sorry to hear that things are tight Ray. Have a good look to see what else you can cut e.g. Council rates reduction for single occupancy (if that is now the case). See link.
Keep buggering on and we hope to see you at future events

Good advice.
I had already applied for single occupancy from when they actually move out. The council have set this up for me.
I could sell a liver.
Anyone wanting to purchase a well worn left leg? Don't need that with an automatic.
