Lawd I’m anally retentive :-(

Oh dear according to this:-


You Are in the Anal Stage of Development

According to Dr. Freud, you are stuck in the anal stage of development.

If your parents didn’t discipline you enough as a young child, you may be messy, reckless, and defiant.

If your parents disciplined you too severely as a young child, you may be uptight, stingy, and passive aggressive.

No matter where you fall, you are likely to have a few problems with authority.
What Freudian Stage Are You In?

But we all know Freud was wrong 🙂

Hip hip dismay

Today I had the house’s energy performance certificate done:-

According to it I should be spending £205+£1704+£151= £2060 and if I spend a shed load of money it would get to £1743 per year. Well according to my records in the last 12 months I’ve spent £1152.42 🙂 So is the HIP worth having! Interestingly they make no allowances for which direction the house faces or even which part of the country its in, we get the same rating as a north facing house on the Yorkshire moors.

Be interesting to see if any of the prospective buyers want to see it.

Whilst researching this article I noticed that my telephones/internet/mobile bill topped £1722 for the year, ouch!

Making a splash..


Today at Noon was the official start to my swimming season here in Cambridge with the Jesus Green pool opening. The water was at a balmy 51°F a couple of degrees warmer than last year.

Geoff making a splash

I managed 2 lengths (Sally did 4). Jordan, the reporter was there from the Cambridge News and he reckons our pictures should hit the presses this Friday.

The cost for the season is £52.50 with my residents leisure card! Full set of pictures are on Flickr
