Reviewing The Situation

A multi tasking sort of day today. I dropped the car off for a service and MOT before heading off with Mrs C for the annual review with our financial adviser. It seems we don’t have to worry - yet! We’re definitely good for another year, but might have to make a few tweaks along the way depending on how the whole recession/inflation/war in Ukraine/fuel prices thing pans out. And that’s not factoring in whatever bright ideas (?) the next idiot in charge of this country has.
The picture is of the building where their offices are. It was a gunpowder works until the early 20th century, but is now subdivided into various offices. I noticed we were in the “Saltpetre Store” and the one next door was the “Powder Room”, so no disguising the heritage.
The good news from the garage was that the car had sailed through its MOT, the tyres are good for a few more months (I’d thought they might be getting near the wear limit) and the brakes didn’t need touching, despite the service indicator in the car saying they did. That’s been reset to reflect the true position and - all being well - I shouldn’t need to go back for another twelve months. They’d even given it a bit of a valet, so I’m actually driving around in a clean car for a change.
The afternoon was spent helping Mrs C reconcile her books for the WI of which she is the Treasurer. I think someone might have been on a recent trip and not paid (or the money hasn’t been handed over) and I’m going to do a bit more digging tonight to try and identify the culprit and/or get the figures to balance.
Managed to fit in a visit to the gym as well. No good having healthy finances and a healthy car if the body is too knackered and past it to benefit!
