A colleague of mine came in to work yesterday with her lovely new baby girl, and she handed me the Pregnancy Book that she'd been issued when pregnant, saying "there is a bloke in there who looks just like you".


I looked, and sure enough, there is me and Mrs Keef.


When we were in hospital (having gone in for induction), waiting for something to happen on a Monday morning, the ward manager came and asked if we'd pose for some photos, in exchange for some Sainsbury's vouchers. We said yes, as it was something to do.


Now I wish I'd had more than an hours sleep, combed my hair, and worn something other than my "to the pub" t-shirt!!!


Still, it paid for the shopping that week.


EDITED: Because the N key on my laptop seems to be sticking.

Nice one Keef - hope you got a few copies of it, hand it out to your mum and the in-laws, like. We got the nod once to say that there was a picture of our first born in the Horniman "What's On Guide". we dashed to get a copy, flicked through and were soon staring at a darling picture of a cute little cherub illustrating the Storytelling sessions. Alas, the blue eyed, tousle-haired blond boy in centre stage was not ours - but if you carefully searched up in the top left was a brown blur. That was him.

    • That ULEZ check is not necessarily accurate, as someone pointed out above. I did it ages ago. I don't cycle. I got a bike, had a space in a bike shelter (in fact requested one on our road), had a disastrous lesson from someone who appeared to think I was about nine years old, fell off and gave up. A refugee now has my bike and someone else has my space in the shelter thing. Our tent is too big to easily take on public transport, let alone all the other stuff. If you travel light, good for you, but my backpacking days are long gone!   Thanks but I did all the sums when I decided to keep the car, and the convenience for me outweighed the obviously considerable annual  cost. I don't think an Uber driver would be very happy to convey things like bags of smelly compost to my allotment 🤣 Which I can take on the bus but it's somewhat embarrassing 🤣
    • If you think about the amount you spend on keeping and using a car and how infrequently you use it, you might be better just getting the occasional Uber. We often underestimate the cost of owning a car, as opposed to using a cab. There is actually a name for it in Psychology ('the taxi meter effect'). It's likely you're spending at least £1000 - £1,500 a year on keeping a car (£500 on insurance, £200 on MOT and service / repairs, £180 on VED, Then the ULEZ fee each time you use it, plus fuel, plus depreciation... maybe minimal in this case). If you put that in a separate 'pot' and used it to cover the occasional Uber, you may find your needs more than covered. 
    • It's the whole road. It's running with water! PM me if you want to be added to the road What'sApp group, where there is more information (though you wouldn't see posts made before you joined). A number of people have reported it to Thames Water, who should be there now (I haven't looked). It's supposed to be being repaired  today.
