Saw the Boy for the first time since December cloud9: cloud9:
He was on good form and is coming to visit soon (once his car is repaired after he crashed it ::) )
Had lunch on the roof terrace of a terrific place on the Wirral (recommended)
https://sheldrakesrestaurant.co.uk/ (https://sheldrakesrestaurant.co.uk/)
Today's set lunch menu was restricted a bit. Boy went for the Sirloin Steak option (£25 supplement Shocked: )
We then went to get his sodding phone sorted. It needs a new battery. Simples :thumbsup::thumbsup:
He takes the phone in to the shop and returns to the car. It will take 10 minutes and costs £25. Fine. "I have forgotten my wallet, Dad and they want cash."
We drive to the cashpoint. I have a fiver, so I withdraw £20.
I give him all my cash and he returns to the shop.
He returns: "He has broken it."
eeek:
Seems the phone repair guy broke the screen noooo:
"But he can fix the screen at a discounted price!" :thumbsup:
Me: He BROKE it, he can pay! Go and tell him!
He comes back: He says this happens with this model and he wants £15 to fix the screen for a discount.
I am knackered. We drive to the cashpoint again. cussing: cussing:
He is coming to visit soon :thumbsup: That will be pricey noooo:

Last time I looked the word, 'no' came before the word 'yes' in the dictionary. Maybe you should be using it Nick
-
It is a dad thing. He can buy me lunch when he visits*
*see also "flying pigs" noooo:

I hear you ...i had a similar day with The Brat yesterday. Phone and cars 》》》open purse and tip money straight down drain noooo: surrender: sad24:
-
noooo:
My brother was like that with his kids so seems you are on trend
-
It is a parent thing noooo: Why do they always "forget" their wallet/purse? rubschin:
He dropped a bombshell over lunch. Given the limited acting opprtunities during lockdown he has applied to join the police eeek:

You have had a lucky escape!

Yep
Obviously I get this all third hand but what gets me is the scheming that seems to take place. That forgotten wallet, in my brother's case him being rung up 'can you book my car in your local garage for a service' which meant he had to take it in, pay the bill and deliver it back to his offspring after of course the carefully not mentioned illegal tyres had been replaced noooo:
-
I currently have a loan repayment scheme in operation with The Brat.
I of course have no confidence this will be fully honoured . Though she has kept up her repayments so far ( 5 months in ).
As for The Boy joining the police eeek:
He is aware they do early shifts as well I hope lol:
-
Some aspects of work may come as a shock to him!
Wonder if they get much holiday whistle:
-
It is a serious concern lol:
They have had the audacity to change our leave policy eeek:
You now can't 'bank' any unused leave and so I now have to.use my 4 weeks 'banked leave as well as my normal allowance .
Where to go ????
Oh bugger Banghead Banghead Banghead

House swap? I have a cat sit in Brighton coming up whistle:

I read of these money woes and all the troubles with the offspring and I find it difficult to understand. Naturally I supported the sprogs as they grew and helped fund their further education and career but they were never demanding (and were careful with their possessions)
Where did I go wrong? noooo:

You think that BM was around when they were building the pyramids? Don't be daft, going from all the tales of his DIY misadventures if he'd been involved in putting them up there wouldn't be any left standing today... whistle:
