Super! I`ll do that - thankyou soooo much Panda!!!  

Thanks for that Pandamunich! Yes, X left, but Schwieger-Tiger lives in a separate flat to me, so I guess I need to change tax class - any idea how I do that?  

Probably a stupid question here, but does make a difference to the Kinderfreibetrag if I am in tax class 1 or 2? A friend told me that I have to be in tax lass 2 to be able to claim anything, but I am actually in class 1 at the moment - should I change it?  

  - I would assume from Dad´s Army...    

  - take it seriously, "be there", and chill. It´s mostly not as bad as it initially seems!  

Saw this video a little while back and know exactly why I do not eat fish:           As for being unhappy, well, I have been off work the past two weeks with the ´flu and laryngitis. ´flu-wise I am fine now, but my voice is not back to normal - can just about whisper, and I have to go back to work tomorrow !

  - and guess which one of them will die?

@ Nunya - if you think your kid is up to taking a sample from the back of his throat, and if the school agrees, then he could do that. Instructions here: https://www.synlab.de/fileadmin/pdf/fachinformationen/anleitung-selbsttest-corona-abstrich.pdf   As for taking him out of school following one nosebleed, well, personally, I think you are overreacting. Home-schooling is not permitted in Germany, so, it is your duty to send him to school.  

I would also love to get back to the UK for a visit, but as you say, I believe the quarantine afterwards would make it impossible for me - don´t get that much holiday from work! I guess for those in home office it might be a different story, as they are at home all day anyway...   From this website: https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/quarantaene-einreise/2371468#content_0 yes, one would have to go into quarantine upon return, but can get tested after 5 days, and if negative, the quarantine is over...  

  - it amazes me that these guys all look totally surprised!!!  

  If your gut feeling is that something just isn´t right, it probably isn´t, so why not go to a dealership in the first place, and save all the time and hassle of meeting other peoples´friends and relatives? At a dealership you would save having to get a mechanic to look over the car, and as you say, there would be a bit of a guarantee.

I just received an email from Payback asking for donation of points for the flood victims. I think this is a really good idea to help get some money together to help those who need help now.   If anybody else has payback points that they aren´t using right now, I would encourage them to donate them here:   https://www.payback.de/spendenwelt/projektuebersicht?tag=aktuelle_fluthilfe&sort=&dir=  

  Of course, me dear!!!

- closely followed by this gem:    

  My boyfriend and I have a friend who buzzez around on his moped - he is much to old to be on the road, but he doesn´t care! (it`s in Bavarian, so not recommended for English-only audience!)
