@phoneboy Great patience required by you. I hope you have some nice things going on in your life at the moment to compensate for the negative stuff.
@phoneboy Once the offspring all leave education will you have reason to ask that your payments are reduced?
Just my luck. My back 'goes' at the same time I get some sort of bug/infection. Double trouble.
There is a not very official phrase called 'pre-traumatic stress disorder'. Supposedly, It explains things like Israeli/Jewish fears of a future genocide or many people's fear of future climate changes, that sort of thing. There is a lot of it about these days and I don't think it's accidental. Whenever there is an example of widespread pre-traumatic stress disorder, the same thing always comes afterwards: our freedoms being taken away. But now I've probably given you pre-traumatic stress disorder. Oops.
