Not in Crawley Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Well its finally coming home to roost in the NiC household. I've cancelled the Craft Gin Club order (to be fair, we have so many bottles of bloody flavoured gin now I could open a bar - can't drink a bottle a month) I've just put a hold on the Green Chef Weekly food subscription (shame - it's a decent week this week, so i went for it but its the last time!) Historic England gone (kept the Tate membership though, we're not animals) National Trust - goodbye... (kept the car sticker though to wangle the free parking) We really are in needy times.

Aye My Mum, bless her, took out a policy a good 15 years before she died. I think at the time she took it out it was enought to cover a State Funeral and a coffin made of gold . By the time it was needed, I think the policy actually just about paid for the funeral director to have his top hat cleaned. Not a cheap affair.

Ideally now, we just need to buy veg, bread and milk on a weekly basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
