Tax credits calculated wrongly by central authorites can easily become another strand to shtf then :( sorry to hear that Andy and Lil's daughter are affected :(

I've got a minor league financial issue affecting me, my mobile bill. It was free for a while, because they badly bollixed up an offer I signed up to. Then it was £13, unlimited texts and 4G data, still ott but not too bad. Then £17, and in short order they've just told me it's going up to £27. So I'm going to giffgaff, 1G data and unlimited texts, something like £8 a month. I'm hating the idea of the actual move, I'm rubbish at mobile stuff, so I just have to follow online instructions point by point and hope for the best.

I'm also cleaning and restocking my new kitchen, and I'm off just now to get some stuff where I need high stock levels (fusilli, pesto, you know the drill :mrgreen: ). So glad nothing overwhelming happened while I was without a kitchen.

Another vote for Tesco Mobile.

Got great reception in Afghanistan, Iraq and Norway when other networks failed so it travels well. Plus you get Tesco points. :mrgreen:

Just got back from work. What a day! At 6am I was performing CPR on a chap who had collapsed and stopped breathing in the restaurant. It was surreal! Thank heavens he started breathing on his own just as the medics arrived. The odds of these events happening are high though, as we have a thousand + customers through each day. Then this afternoon there were two burn incidents in the bakery. All in a day’s work.

Moral of the tale...get first aid trained, and don’t be the bystander who doesn’t know what to do.
In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

It would be great if it was free or a nominal amount. I'm out of date but would happily get requalled but not at the prices in the other thread.

Sounds like a hard day at the office mate, hope you're getting your laughing tackle round something refreshing to relax.

Deeps,I paid a eighty quid out of my own pocket for the one day course. It was with a training company, and it was intense , and hands-down the best ever spend!

I took that course as a result of a: my daughter having a seizure, and my wife being the only one able to help ( me being a useless bystander)

b: my son in law’s dad not having the knowledge to perform CPR on HIS dad ( and being a useless bystander) , and him dying on the bathroom floor.

It’s pure gold, and I would happily pay £500 next time to be sure I am not the Useless Bystander.
