Morning all,

Not a good sleep due to the cats being crazy and jumping around the living room all nigh making lots of noise, but today should still be productive. Much painting in the old flat will be accomplished, and after wards a bit of a fettle with the new frame to get a few parts mounted up.

Got a call from my parents last night saying they were going to be driving away from England a day early to come visit us here in Austria, which has made me super happy. Been months since i've seen my parents!

Enjoy your day guys, i'll be off soon to venture into the snow on the moped and make my way across town. Should be interesting!

    Morning bumders

    Somehow last night whilst climbing I managed to snap the half a toe nail I have left, in a very strange and stupid place so waiting for the doctors to open to see if I can a) get an appointment and b) what the best course of action is. Bit annoying though as I'm going to miss bike play today now and if I have to have the rest out the nail out I'll probably end up missing Cwmcarn uplift times too. Arse.

    Anyway todays plans were all going to be bikes but will now mostly be monging around in front of the PS3. ARrgGhhHhh.

    Morning Rejects and Rejectee's
    First day that i've had enough time to sit at my desk and read a few emails. i'm actually quite happy about this :?

    Got a very big day today and will be having big anouncements later on in the day, and hopefully my 15-16hr days will cease and i'll go back to the normal 12 :roll:

    Bike related: Still havent purchased a new frame and rode the cracked one on sunday, it held up but i was proper nervous of being inpaled on it if it did actually break.
    Well with all this overtime and working over xmas the bike fund is adding up nicely for January, so hopefully i'll locate a reasonbly priced frame by then?

    Anywhoo onwards to porridge and yet more coffee's

    Other than that life is good.

    Today I'm back to work, only for a couple of days though.

    Got some stuff to post this morning, and got to finish preparing the Edison to go off to Bionicon and Argos Cycles for a new coat and the G2 Fork upgrade.

    Now it's just a case of waiting until I see the new stuff I want in a massive sale. Come on CRC, get on it!

    Morning spunk knockers,

    I've just dragged my lazy arse out of bed with the intention of getting lots of stuff done today so i can properly chill out until after christmas, therefore breakfast is on and brew in hand ready to venture out into the chaos of town just before christmas!

    Once jobs are complete the PS3 will be getting hammered as I haven't played COD MW3 for at least 3 weeks and the withdrawal symptoms are getting hard to handle.

    Could really do with some time off work so I can get on with ALL THE THINGS. However, I have another day of meh, followed by tonight which is going to be wrapping presents while having a skype date with MrF.
    Early night on the cards as I'm still shattered after MrF kept me awake until about 6am on Friday night/saturday morning. Sadly it was for no other reason than the fact that he snores. A Lot.

    Porridge consumed. Time to do something about the 60+ emails in my inbox :|

    Alright Scuttlers

    Another prep for moving cum xmas day. Got more stuff to pack, electric and council tax to sort out and a shoot load of cawl to make, a week today and I'm officially moved, although got a week after that to finish off at work back here first.

    Last night was possible my last ever competitive game of football.

    Not much else to report, Day 8 on Crudmas, is probably the weakest day, gets harder up to the bigger numbers but hopefully still a bit of fun

    Well, I'm not that hungover this morning. A little, but nothing a brew can't cure. Last night was pretty lame really, I'm disappointed.
    As a result, I'm more in a pi$$ed off mood than hungover one.

    Ah well, presents need wrapping, then I'll head home to Bury where I've got work for the remainder of the week (up to and including Christmas day!)

    Bah humbug.

    Hola,
    Been a while.
    Just 3 days to go and then 2 weeks of freedom.
    Going to buy a gps after xmas and actually get fit and lose some fekkin' weight (ankle tendon willing).
    Did works do last week, became 16 again by drinking waaaaay too much during the day and passing out in a pub toilet at 7 in the evening. Quality.
    Onwards, to glory!

    Morning Peeps,

    I managed to marinate myself in curry-induced fumes last night - was not the most popular person in the house this morning :-) But at least no hangover, I don't do hangvers well at all. Must have another go at getting to the top of the 'Smack the Penguin' leaderboard, then it's off up to London to see 'War Horse' which is part of my kid's Christmas treat.

    I manage to wake the wife up regularly on Friday and Saturday nights with monster farts, which I don't even know I do until the morning when I wake up, move the covers and slowly pass out again from the smell. Needless to say, if I get drunk, she wakes up early as farkkkk.

    Winner. Doctor says if I'm careful and don't damage it any more, and as long as it doesn't cause me pain I don't need to have the rest of the nail out.

    This means uplift is still on tomorrow (assuming the weather doesn't turn gay). Just checked the bike over, now off to fetch the gran's dog from the vets, then faff about for a bit, then get to bed early as the cousin wants to leave at some unspeakable hour in the morning, I'd forgotten such early times existed :shock:

    Afternoon bumders

    Mega sleep win last night, from 10pm until 8.30 am probably due to the fact I thought feck it yesterday and decided to take 2 weeks leave.

    Today has been spent decorating the bathroom and modifying/Installing 2 fireplace surrounds purchased from eBay for 99p each. Done the supermarket shop for Christmas including a 7kg turkey, 12 bottles of red, 12 bottles of champagne and 144 varied tubes of beer including becks, Peroni and guiness.

    Off out on the rollers for a couple of hours later and the 456 tomorrow morning to get really muddy.
    Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.

    I resisted the temptation to give 'er indoors the Dutch Oven treatment this morning, the recriminations would have been too bad given the rhino-killing stench I had managed to produce :-)

    Some mornings I wake up, and she won't talk to me for hours. I'm in the doghouse for something I do in my sleep! Shame. Means I just need to attach a tube venting outside before I sleep! HAHAH
