Morning, beer monkeys.

I really hope 2019 turns out to be better than this year.

I had a cracking weekend with a couple of pals. There was a bit of exercise, lots of laughs, food a-plenty and beer and spirits galore. It was good to give the old camper van a run as well as I have hardly used it this year.
While I was away SWMBO visited IKEA. We now have new lamps, a stupid shoe rack and a desk in The Boy's bedroom. We didn't need any of it!

This week my main aim is to do as little as possible in work as I am on the wind down to a week's leave. Off to The Big Apple next week for a little family holiday and I can't wait.

No cushions? :shock:

She bought pointless cushions a couple of weeks ago in Dunelm. :roll:

All the best to you and the rest of your family.

Sorry to hear that, bg13.
Please accept condolences from another interwebz associate.
Keep your chin up and remember the good times with your dad.

Condolences bg. RIP.

We should collectively keep drinking and we'll wake up in 2019.

Thanks my virtual chums.

I reckon booze in Tlw sized quantities is called for.

I never knew he was that big in the first place.

I’ve got Friday off for the purposes of boozing. Starting with the Winter Warmer breakfast, 2 pints of said brew and a big fry up. Having started with a breakfast like that the only option is to keep drinking.
I will drink to our collective old folks, those still here and those departed. I’ll drink to a lot of other things too no doubt. Then I shall declare TLW a lightweight before collapsing in a gutter full of puke.

Afternoon bumders,

Sorting through stuff and organising stuff! Never knew this sort of thing could be so much fun! Eyeing up some wine and port that has been lying around for a while!

Bit of a sh1t day at work with lots of business, not helped by having to leave early to do Dads taxi and pack for the trip up North tomorrow. Can't even have a drink either!

Evening felchers,
Reasonable day at work. Nice and sunny so took the long way home. Don’t punch car windows, even if they ask for it. They’re really quite hard.
Pub now, woohoo!

Why isn’t it the weekend yet?

veronese68

Did I mention it's my Friday. Tomorrow will consist of fry up and enough beer to sink a battleship.

Ditto. Drove in early-ish this morning, car is parked downstairs and will head North once the worst of the rush hour clears. Cider and wine is waiting in the fridge at the other end

Feck off the pair of you

Every day is Friday for me, in fact I'm on the beers!

Evening sausage jockeys,

Sorting more stuff today, met the bird that's going to organise torching the old boy! And had a go at trying to organise the wake, not bothered where it'll be as i plan on getting turbo tlw'd. Onwards to beurocracy and charity shops!

Morning bumders

Condolences BG. Hectic couple of weeks in Waleshire for once. Today will involve trying to relax a bit, sort of, and do some admin stuff.

Morning

Working from home which is great on a Friday and meant the pub with friends was enjoyed last night

Tonight will probably be a repeat, though I might not object to my mates planning application with the name of captain p nurse and a turd emoji

Morning, shisters.

Super short day today. Started at 9.15 and will be finishing at 12 on the dot.
Then it's holiday time. A bit of family shizzle to get through on the weekend then we jet off to The Colonies on Monday for some sightseeing and shopping in that New York. Fear not, I shan't give you lot a single thought while I'm away.

You say that like you think we care!

Happy holiday btw.

Condolences BG. Clearing out is cathartic more than anything, but a good thing to do. Celebrate the old man’s life in style.

Thanks Bird and wheelspinner,

Afternoon weird Uns,

More fun and games here today, i thought Francais was beurocratic!

Think there's definitely a chance of too much booze with an occasional hangover this weekend. Someone else is looking after the old dear tomorrow afternoon so it's on!

Bon voyage Jba and i hope the rest of you have massive weekends and small hangovers!

Who's this JBA bloke we keep hearing about?

Evening Mongs,

Been running around in not very sunny Redcar where it's tanking down and blowing a gale. Plans for a run may need to be cancelled in favour of more cider and lounging in front of the box.

Bg, hope you get all your shizzle sorted.

Evening dong feelers,

Day off funeral stuff today though we did sort flowers early on. Went to watch the mighty cobblers thrash Oldhamistan 2-1, refereeing was dire but it was a good afternoon. Beer was also involved!

Evening five finger shufflers,
Not done a lot today, been feeling a bit wobbly. Managed a little over 12 hours of boozing yesterday, a right laugh was had. Seem to have grazed my right arm somehow, no idea how.
I know what you mean about bureaucracy and all that shizzle bg, a right pain in the aris’ to say the least.
