Well the muck has gone from my motors windows & I've re-filled the washer bottle to the top & warmed my hands again. So all I've got to do now is clean the E-Cloths I used -- probably a bigger job than the windows !
Still I can sit here with my latest Steam Mag & start to build up the list of rallies for 2017, so if you hear any whooping cheering & similar happy noises its only Brian filling another A4 sheet in
.
I hope all you uber-keen Bookers have fun on Wednesday, I'll report back on Thursday afternoon to see how many of you have not thrown the keyboard thro' the window ! Tara for now

I've just checked our accounts and we both have our £10. 'We're in the money'....
Decided to look it up,
It was launched by Ted Heath's Tory government in 1972, back then the £10 Xmas boost was worth more than the £6.75 basic state pension. The basic pension is now £95.25 a week.

Seems like we are both wrong, mine was a copy/paste from an ancient source 
, basic single pension seems to be £119.30 per week on the current gov site.
