Anyway, more focused on home issues. DH off to hospital this evening for a procedure on his brain tomorrow. Seems rather more important right now - call me selfish!

DuncinToffee · 26/11/2025 18:26

Best wishes BIWI, hope all goes wellFlowers

That sounds worrying and puts everything else into perspective. Best wishes to your DH.

Hope all goes well and it’s a complete success. This is probably worse for you than it is for him, you must be incredibly stressed.

Spandauer · 26/11/2025 18:27

Definitely more important @BIWI. Best wishes to your DH - hope all goes well.

Thinking of you @BIWI , my DH is awaiting a scan result after being referred on a two week wait and is far from well with some concerning symptom. I do hope all goes well for your DH 💐

Good edition of News Agents tonight. They interviewed Torsten Bell and he was excellent, he needs to do the media rounds a lot more.

pointythings · 26/11/2025 19:03

Good luck, @BIWI .

Sending Flowers and best wishes to you too.

The waiting is horrible.

No implosion of the world then?
Home from To Kill A Mockingbird and it was excellent. We both cried. Enjoy tomorrow @cardibach. The drive back home along the M4 was horrible though.

Re Aaron Sorkin, I see The West Wing is starting on Netflix so I may start another rewatch. A dose of sanity.

Good luck to your DH @BIWI

  • Class 2 National Insurance shut off for people living abroad, ending access to the cheap overseas rate for maintaining UK benefit rights, with tougher eligibility checks for voluntary Class 3

Presumably that applies to expats as well as ppl from abroad who worked here once?
