Wishing I had bet more than the £50 to my gym partner that I could get down to my " fighting weight " by the end of January, well pleased 2 inches off my waist measurement now a youthful 34 inches, cut out alcohol completely & a very suitable diet for me of  steak & eggs mostly.

I hope you aren’t coming before 5 th Feb! We have had a lot of rain in the south,snow in the north and gales. Due to  finish the 5th.
Well done, Mick, you can have lots of fun getting back to normal now 

.

You really don't know me very well, I'll never be considered normal..😂
This will probably only be a " temporary blip " once we get back to Spain I expect the beer may be too much to ignore.

Getting home to cold wet weather after 7 weeks of sunshine in Thailand.     

Oh and keeping the railway thread going.... South Western Railways, whose service has become utterly shite since they were nationalised last year. My train terminated at Salisbury today due to a 'signalling fault' and had to sit on a cold windy platform for an hour waiting for the next train that was going down to Exeter.   

I suspect that 'Signalling fault' means the civil servants who run the railway now, were having a LGBTQ alphabet soup meeting or something instead of running a railway!   

7 weeks in Thailand? You'll be worn out, lad 

I am. It's the jet lag you see.

Started it for the first time in 7 weeks. No issues to report. 

I also don't have time these days to spend an entire weekend fiddling with a car. A normal Saturday now involves:

Ballet Lesson x1
Junior Life Guard Swimming Session x1
Swimming Lessons x2
Parties vary but normally at least 1 or 2 per month
Record for parties is: Little MissT number 2 had one at lunch time and Little MissT number 3 had two parties on the same day. One in the morning, one in the afternoon. 

I believe you are about six foot thirteen......what size ballet shoe do you take?

I bet the sight of Tunnie in tutu is something to behold!

Officially, this i4 M60 on paper is a £75k car. Not that anyone pays that! BMW were offering 35% to Lex on the build slot, which explains why this was cheaper than a Tesla which had a list price of £50k on LEX monthlies.

I do wonder how BMW does the pricing on its lease cars sometimes. My iX is similar base price of c£75k (iX M60 is something like £115k  ), but the monthlies of Octopus can fluctuate by >£200 pcm. I managed to get it at a fairly low ebb, but I don't think I could have the same car again if my lease were coming to an end soon. 

I think BMW offer build slot discounts, when I called up to find out more they said no one really buys the "bonkers" model. They go mid range.

I specified a mid range eDrive 40 i4, with adaptive ride and few other bits. Came out £50/m less than the M60. So I thought why not!
