Despite my recent illness and problems with a puffed up face (E said I looked like Desperate Dan for those familiar with English comics, I was simply missing the stubble she said!) we went out for a meal on Monday and enjoyed a really good afternoon. The swelling to my face had subsided somewhat as the steroids took effect so I didn’t look all that bad and to be perfectly honest not many folk noticed . Today, Tuesday, as I write this, I have received a notification from the DVLA letting me know that my vehicle will need its tax disc renewing should I wish to continue driving it. This time around it will be £210. I have been able to arrange payment over the Internet having first transferring some cash from a deposit account to a current account in order to make the payment using my debit card details. All done from my armchair. I started using the Internet more often last year for carrying out financial dealings and find it a much more relaxed way of doing things. One of my pet hates is to stand around in a queue of people waiting to carry out some transaction or another as to me it is an immense waste of time and sometimes inconvenient having to make a trip into town just for the purpose of doing so. I have been doing a lot of sitting down lately but only because I haven’t been too well. It is nice to know that I can still keep things ticking along from my armchair by using the Internet. I am getting a little restless though and I am keen to continue with all the household tasks I have set myself for the year but I won’t continue with any of it until I am feeling better. For the moment I am doing it all sitting down.
