Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 1-2-2024 — Recognition

1st February, 2024: Recognition.

Yes: it’s Thursday.

And, frankly?

I’ve got to make at least one phone-call.

To re-arrange a hygienist appointment that scheduled for Monday … at the same time as my weight management class!

You know … I never realise these things conflict until the last minute!

~≈🦷≈~

I’m in the UK: as you’ve possibly guessed.

And … ?

We’re due a Budget — an announcement of the Government’s financial plans — in March.

With an election due at some point, this year?

There’s speculation that tax cuts will feature in it: which isn’t that surprising.

My personal concern isn’t those cuts.

It’s the Cost of Living payments that many in my shoes receive.

The last one is due between 6th and 22nd February.

The sooner the better.

But … ?

I’m assuming that — all else being equal — that the February payment will be the last.

But with a budget due?

I hope that the Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, keeps the payment active: at least for another year.

But, being realistic?

Think those of us who need it, won’t see another penny.

30th December, 2022: Part of the Union.

Argh!

It’s Friday.

And … ?

You can tell I’m having a bad morning.

I’ve woken up … and found that the battery on my boiler — the wall mounted thing in the hall way — is on the go.

I’ve spent lord knows how long, this morning: on the phone to Robert Heath, the gas contractors, to get help.

They’re going to try and get someone to phone me — or email — to talk me through replacing them.

Here’s hoping.

Have you got your eyes on my YouTube channel?

If you do — or don’t — you may — or may not! — know I posted four videos, yesterday.

A review of Prey, for starters.

I’ve unboxed some Marmite;

And some Dr Who goodies;

That last one will grab people, I think.

I’ve read the opening story in Iron Legion — it’s called Iron Legion and brings back memories — and am looking forward to reading the rest.

I’ve ALSO got the second season of Classic Dr Who: as a bluray box set.

I’ve seen most of the episodes: bar The Crusade.

Which could well be one of the next things to review.

We’ll see.
