WARNING paypal credit.....

if you take out 4 months interest free and 12 months credit paypal will lump the two together for payments. this means that paypal will concentrate on the interest added payments first and will ignore the 4 months free until the end of the 4 months at which point they will ask for the balance in full. at which point i'm guessing they will say if you cant pay the balance then they will add it over an interest pay.

More damn winds. Two fence panels out this time. Feels like a monthly occurrence.

Guess who cycled four miles to his local Retail Park before realising he'd left the key to his lock at home?

A few years ago I cycled into town , locked the bike and on trying to unlock it I found I had the wrong key. Went into poundland bought a £1 hacksaw and started to hack through it. No one batted an eyelid apart from one chap that sat on a nearby seat. He asked what I was doing, told him and continued. The hacksaw blade broke. He suggested I take it back and tell the shop it was not fit for purpose. I didn't and managed to finish the job with a broken part of the blade. Luckily it was not a high security lock!

Back in hospital again after another big pain flare. Going to stay in now and get the operation to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerves and pin the vertebrae. If it gets done in the next week, I should be back on the bike in early March when the weather will be warmer (hopefully).

I hope the operation goes well for you Craig.

My gripe is snow / ice rendering the road to town impassable. Looks like gritting was not effective last night.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully the op will fix the problem once and for all

Best of luck. It took best part of 3 years on-and-off and Cortisone injections and Physio to get my shoulder back to half decent after an industrial accident years ago :/
