Cutting the cord

[Smelly]

No doubt this will turn into a tirade but I might get some useful info first...

 

I'm dropping my mooring this weekend. I hope to be moving back to the west mids soon but that might not work out. Furthermore, with the State Second Pension coming in in September I will be faced with the choice of mooring fees or social life. Anyone who knows me knows that choosing the latter will probably be a one way ticket to depression so I'm not entertaining it.

 

If I don't go to Wolvo there's a reasonable chance of a pay rise off the back of this week's promotion (on my birthday too ) which will fund a mooring over the winter at least.

 

I will be ccing in the interim! A bit of a gamble I know but I have already taken the last step; there's no going back now!

 

I need to sort washing out, so... Does anyone know a decent laundry service in central Leicester? I know there's places in Luff but opening times will be a problem and Luff can't be home all the time!

 

Also, Monsieur Fuzzy tells me there's nowhere to empty the bog in Leicester. Although I hate to second guess a respected friend with regard these waters, I'm hoping he's wrong!

 

Wide locks on my lonesome is a bit daunting too but no doubt I'll get used to it; I'm no stranger to single handing on the narrows!

Have a word with Maggie I hear she knows of a decent laundry service in Leicester aka Mark Young

there IS a little known water point, off side above Belgrave lock. Handy if you are that end.

This is baffling me; do you mean the opposite? I could be missing an implicit double negative i suppose

 

Well done on the promotion. I hope things work out for you. I've a feeling they will, let me know when you get back on the narrows & i'll point the boat in your direction so i can invite you in for a cup of tea

Shame your promotion will not fund your mooring, no tirade from me unless you propose to be CM'er near the water point. If you move a reasonable distance every couple of days you might find you enjoy it.

I used to quite enjoy getting home, firing the boat up and going for a potter... Promotion might fund a mooring once I get the money to reflect the additional responsibility, however if my new service delivery model works I expect to at least double, if not treble the firm's income from my team so come the August meeting, if it works, I expect to be on good ground!

 

Either that or Wolvo will put 3 of the 6k pa I'm down on my last job back in the pot!

There will no doubt be some of that too!

Google tells me there's a launderette by Raynesway... Anyone any experience?
