Thanks for posting that Smokie.
It has been a hectic few months here - with both mum and mum in law hospitalised.
As mentioned my laptop died and I needed to replace it. I was procrastinating about getting a new one - waiting for the perfect price / spec balance which just wasn't going to happen, so Santa (Mrs Z) treated me to a Lenovo LOQ (a low cost gaming laptop) with an I7-13620H processor, 16gb ram and a RTX4060 graphics card - and it cost her about £650 - which seems to be quite a bargain.
Work has been mad. Higher interest costs are hurting businesses - and that's meant more files on my desk.
Miss Z has got the short straw re shifts at the hospital over Christmas so we're driving 120 miles this afternoon to spend Christmas day with her and her beau. We are going to a local pub for Christmas lunch - my treat - but it's painful at £80 a head! Then it's back here for Boxing day - and we are hosting my parents and mum - in - law - pub again because we wont be in the mood for cooking - my credit card is going to take a hammering!
Anyway the most important thing - wishing everyone here and your nearest and dearest a fantastic Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year.
Zippy
