			<description><![CDATA[ I have been here now for exactly 2 weeks. Gosh, I can't believe it's such a short time as I am already beginning to feel like part of the furniture.
<br>
<br>
Mind you, I have been made to feel extremely welcome and comfortable by the residents that I have now met. Maybe I have been lucky and only bumped into the
nicest, as I am sure there must be some miserable buggers here somewhere. If there are though, I haven't come across them.

			<description><![CDATA[ This week has been an eventful one for me.  Last Sunday I moved into my new flat.  Saturday was Halloween and this Sunday was my 61st Birthday.
<br>
<br>
The actual move went really smoothly, but then it would as I had no furniture to move.  Having moved out of a caravan where all fixtures and fittings came with
it, I had to buy all new furniture for the new flat.  All was in situ in the flat ready for the move on Sunday, that is all except the suite which is another
story, so it was... ]]></description>

<br>
Way back in 1969 when I was first married, my Husband and I moved into our very first home together with our Daughter Sarah, who was then 3 months old. Prior
to that we had been living with my Mother.

In those days one didn't buy ones telephone but it came as part of a package with the rental of the telephone line.

			<description><![CDATA[ Last Thursday I received a phone call to say that a flat had come vacant in the complex that I have been hoping to move to.
<br>
<br>
FridayI went along to collect the keys to go have a look see. As per usual it ended up as a family outing. The whole family, naturally, wanted to take a look
see. By the time we had gathered together there were 10 of us.

You can imagine it with everyone looking and planning what I could do with it and what would be best here, there, or whatever. My... ]]></description>

a dental check up. The reason being, not because he is having any trouble with his teeth, but because he is getting old.

He is now coming up for 12 years old and I thought I would have his teeth checked again for him to have another scale and polish while he is still young enough

			<title><![CDATA[ Pension Service Have Actually Done Something Right ]]></title>
			<link>http://zandranna.u.yuku.com/blog/post/id/2585</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ A couple of weeks ago I hunted out a letter that I had received from the DWP (department of work and pensions) about 5 years ago.  That letter was a forecast
of what my pension would be now if my circumstances didn&#39;t change.
<br>
<br>
The amount of Government  Pension I was told I would receive would be in the region of £101 per week.  The basic pension today is approx £97 per week.  The
minimum amount today the Government says one can live on is £130.  Therefore if one has no private... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Since moving down to Dorset in the April of 2007 I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. Living in a caravan has been fantastic, and seeing how my girls are all now
settled and happy, I can now breath easy and know this move was one of the best decisions I have every made.
<br>
<br>
Living in a caravan as I say has been great, but I also have to say, &quot;up until now&quot;. There is much now that I feel I am missing by not living in
bricks and mortar and by living in this location. So I have... ]]></description>

I can&#39;t tell you how thrilled I was to read this and my only disappointment is that it isn&#39;t our British Government that have the balls to do this.

Putting it very simply first. If we wore T Shirts and Shorts in any Muslim country we would be put in prison. If they expect us to follow their dress codes

			<description><![CDATA[ Ok, the government pension is my right.  It&#39;s not something that I am claiming.  It&#39;s a pension that I have paid in for all my life.  It&#39;s a set
amount that I am entitled to.  Even if I&#39;m continuing to work, I am still entitled to my pension.  No if, but, or maybe.  It&#39;s my money.  So please
tell me how the heck it can be stopped being paid to me.

On Monday the 8th of June I checked my bank account only to find that my pension had not been paid in.  No worries it... ]]></description>

for repair or replacement and was told it would take 14 working days, (3 weeks).  Horror of horrors.

Daughters new house where her web access has not been connected yet and wont be until Thursday.
<br>
<br>
The reason I am sitting here at Sarah&#39;s and not in my own home as I was up until 9pm last night, is because from 9pm until midnight last night I was up at
the Accident and Emergency department of our local hospital. I left there doped... ]]></description>

decide to sleep in each day until virtually the last minute.
<br>
<br>
My Sarah is moving on or around next weekend and of course there is a lot to do getting her all organised for that. On top of that she had to have a visit to
the hospital for x-rays and MRI scans. This is for her knee. Many of us have hereditary &quot;squidgy&quot;... ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
First of all let me explain that if someone requests a friendship link I never click to deny them. But, I don&#39;t always accept them.
<br>
<br>
I don&#39;t accept those that are simply trying to link to as many people as possible, that don&#39;t know me from Adam and don&#39;t even want to know me. If
there is a hint that someone is simply making a collection of friends or are linking with people just to... ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
I sometimes get as many as 70 visitors recorded on my profile in a day.  Yet I get very few blog comments.  Ok, one could say that perhaps my blog posts are
boring and therefore no one is interested in commenting, but I don&#39;t believe this to be quite true in the case of every single person that visits my
profile.

I get comments from those in the blog ring but very seldom from other Yuku members... ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
As with the other test it was in front of a video and the video is then sent off to the examiners. It will be several weeks before we get the results back.

<br>
The 3 subjects we were allowed to choose from were.
<br>
<br>
The weather
<br>
About where we live

And about our hobbies and interests

sitting down and blogging them. Maybe that was for the best as this blog is getting decidedly grumpy. So much so that I thought about changing it&#39;s name to

<br>
<br>
The system is Multiply.
<br>
<br>
I thought I would take a toodle over to see what it is all about as I haven&#39;t long come across the name of Multiply.  I first of all took a virtual tour,
but we all know how these type of systems bum themselves up and once one has registered and had a play the reality of the system compared to the way it

On my return after a long absence I found over a hundred applications waiting to be processed by me. After trying to sift through them all I decided the best
thing to do was to click the ignore button on the daft, play type ones and just accept the ones such as people wanting to add my birthday to their calendar or

<br>
God I am stupid.  The pension service asked me to send my divorce papers off to them asap so that I could claim for the years that I was married and bringing
up a child.  Although having said that, I did work most of those years anyway,  but the system does allow one to claim for all those years regardless of
whether one worked or not.

Anyway, as soon as I knew they wanted my divorce papers I... ]]></description>
