(Actually only about 8758 hours left)

Assuming 7 hours recommended sleep per night (2555 hrs per annum) leaves about 6200 hours.

Work: a minimum of 1938 hours plus 488 hours travelling (or waiting to travel!!) to and from work, leaves about 3780 hours.

In the bathroom (Avoiding any further breakdown of this category!) minimum 242 hours.

That leaves about 3500 hours, which sounds like a lot - average about 10 hours per day,which means I should have plenty of time for exercise,DIY,helping others,and being an all round good chap,but somehow after I've done a bit of TV viewing,surfing the internet (including ED forum),visiting the pub/off licence and generally lounging around, I never seem to have any time to spare! How about you???

You have not even mentioned kids...they take up a lot of time, so be prepared.

Yes Mick Mac,kids require a lot of time, fortunately we've only the grandchildren to take up some of our time nowadays and,of course, you can generally give 'em back to the parents whenever you feel like it (although they certainly seem to get a good share of our money)!!
I see - as you have been through it all before I'd have thought you would feel you had a lot of time now. That's what I#m looking forward to in 20 years time! Maybe it does not work that way - with whatever we have on our plate we never seem to have enough time.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068. 
    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
