    So annoying @Sandy_123,I was hoping to get loads of washing done before we leave because we'll be coming back to a mountain of our son's dirty clothes and towels on Tuesday.

    Good morning Scopicles 

    Thats Mr ultrasound scan done and all good. We treated ourselves to a fry afterwards as he had to starve before it. Was a nice treat.

    6 degrees here and rain hasn't stopped from last night.

    Good luck at hospital @Lou67 and @Sandy_123 try Pavers...really comfortable shoes that still look fashionable.

    We've just had a yellow weather warning for tomorrow @Teigr , fun fun fun! 

    Glad the ultrasound went well @Marydoll5 I'm very jealous of that fry up, i've not had one in years! 

    @Sandy_123 oh is that tonight?! I've only just caught up with the last episode!  I'm very happy with the final queens though. Who's your favorite?

    Good morning everyone! How are we all today?

    I'm also happy to hear the ultrasound went well @Marydoll5 :) What'd your fry-up have? I have them so rarely now, but I do sometimes get a craving for white or black pudding.

    That sounds like me when I was much younger @Teigr :P I used to be awful at doing the washing, now I'm actually the person who does it the most!

    It was very nice! Basel is a beautiful city. It was so easy to get around, very walkable. If you didn't feel like walking there were trams to almost anywhere you'd want to go. Very accessible. Despite being a rather hilly city I saw more bicyclists than anywhere in the UK, even Cambridge and London. And they had their own space so didn't use the pavement or feel in the way. Very clean, lovely city. I'll see about posting some pictures but I didn't take many, I'm awful at remembering to take pictures.

    Eating out was very expensive though, their wages are quite a bit higher there and it showed! I did look in at some watch shops but I have to say the items you mentioned were a bit out of my price range :P

    If we went again we would get an airbnb or a place to stay that we can cook for ourselves, as the groceries weren't too expensive. Their food sales tax there is only 2.6% on non-essentials and even the highest sales tax on luxuries was only 8.1%. The higher prices were definitely cause their wages are just much better than ours on average.

    They are definitely two drag powerhouses! I still love LGD, she's just bonkers and you never know what she'll come up with next!  But I do think Marina will win.  Tia has done so well though, such a glow up! <3

    well me I am shocked but in a good way, If I am reading things correctly My universal credit payment will be nearly 700 pounds after my 

    Limited capability for work and work-related activity payment starts on April 2nd , and if I get my pip on top my Income will be over £1000 per month and as I have been struggling on under £200 pm I am a little shocked .

    Morning @Marydoll5 and @Jimm_Scope.

    @Jimm_Scope very interesting!!!! Don't worry about the photos, I'm the same, rather enjoy the time than preserve it for later :D 

    Did you stay in the city the whole time or did you get to explore the countryside as well?

    I know Cambridge well, especially the amount of cyclists, sounds like it's a lot more organised over there!!

    You are right about wages, I remember Switzerland a few years back was considering something resembling universal credit, and it was suggested at something like £1,600 a month. People in the UK and other places were up in arms until it was pointed out that, in Switzerland, that would barely be enough to live on!!

    Congrats on your award @Bashford61 that'll be a huge help!

    I'm so pleased you got that award @Bashford61. You should find life easier now. 

    @Jimm_Scope the wee fry had a sausage, bacon rasher, egg, soda bread, potato bread and mushrooms. We rarely have them so it's a special treat.

    I was in Zurich years ago and couldn't get over how clean it was and expensive too. People were very honest. They punched their tram tickets and I never saw an inspector.  If that was Belfast they would be bankrupt in a week.
