Number Three Free

I am a HUGE Andy Capp fan which I have been reading since childhood. I love GoComics because of the humourous comic strips and the wonderful commenters.

    No offence to anybody who loves chess but I can’t think of anything more boring. The chess pieces are rather pretty though.

    It was Mondays and Thursdays when the Greengrocer van came by his street. Friday was “Favourite Nosh Day” I miss him so much.

    I hope everybody requested the most expensive drinks.

    But then I’m petty.

    I did NOT expect that!

    In the strip, I mean. In real life? Hmm. Maybe ;-)

    You’re welcome.

    Surely Andy can sign the form himself? A doctor’s signature is usually just a random doodle anyway that looks nothing like their name.

    Unfortunately I have been on/off the dole throughout my life. If it was up to me, I wouldn’t but as soon as I left college my Dad made me “sign on” until I found a job. Not to get “free money” but because I’ll also get pension contributions from the government. My Dad is pretty smart when it comes to things like that even though I didn’t see it at the time. I’m now on a benefit where I don’t get money at all (I’m not eligible because of my savings) just NI (National Insurance) contributions alone that will go towards my pension. That makes me a feel better. Not on top of the world though. Haha.

    To keep them active, I need to attend the Jobcentre every 3 months but they are not “strict” with me at all. Probably because I’m not getting money. They just let me carry on doing what I’m doing. My next appointment is 12th April. Hopefully I’ll be at my new volunteer job by then so I have something to tell them.

    Andy is despicable! But I kind of like it. Haha.

    Been to the dentist today and I paid £25.80 for my treatment. A check up and scale and polish. The scale and polish is an uncomfortable procedure but doesn’t hurt. I’m brave enough to stick it out for a couple of minutes. I’d rather have that than a pap smear!

    Unfortunately I need to go back in 3 months instead of 6 as the dentist has given me some tiny brushes to clean in-between my teeth because of tar build up. He also said my gums shouldn’t be bleeding after brushing. They don’t usually. I think they did because I haven’t had a scale and polish for 18 months. At least 1 sharp tool is involved in that process.

    Just to clarify: Our healthcare is free when it comes to seeing the doctor or going into hospital but for the dentist and opticians we get a bill.

    Sorry but Flo has some awful dresses. I’m guessing she doesn’t buy them from Temu because they have gorgeous dresses. That’s where mine are from.
