hiya,
Retirement Eh’ Kev you’re kidding aren’t you you’ll find there aren’t enough hours
in the day, Oh’ and the list, yes the Good Lady will have already drawn up ā€œa jobs
to do listā€ that never gets any shorter with the frequent additions, but for a small
donation I’ll loan you my ā€œskivers guideā€ and how to get out of tricky situation book
it’s worth it’s weight in gold, one secret is only do half a job, in fact my wife refers

ment, I celebrated my freedom by putting my HGV licence application and medical
appointment card through the works shredder, and haven’t missed it one iota.
