    Well, we know who wears the trousers at TLW's gaff.
    Been out to buy the boy his birthday present, nice titanium watch, limited edition jobby in a fancy box. Should last him a good while. Off out to eat large chunks of dead cow soon. He needs to buy me a legal pint now he can. Apparently he upset the manager of a 24 hour Tesco shortly after midnight. Bought a slab of Stella after having ID checked and being warned about buying for underage drinkers. Walked out to a large group of friends cheering as he held the beer aloft. Good lad.

    Sunday

    blah, much wine & cider mixed with the start of man flu :(

    Going for a nice trail run in a minute and then it's do the jobs I never got round to yesterday as I went out on the MTB for longer than expected

    Later the parents are coming over with a trailer full of wood, so the wife is doing dinner

    Morning ladies,

    Watching the football that i missed last night, some good goals from players that didn't and/or can't perform in an England shirt!!
    Tlw, mountain biking? You're a disgrace!
    Garden based activities again today and trying to teach the pigs that eating my boots is not a great idea.

    Toodles.

    I probably shouldn't ask how you're doing that...

    Afternoon Wasters,

    Jobs done, coffee sipped and two hound walks done. The last one was more of a run after Stropteen decided she couldn't be arrived to go running with me. Not looking forward to tomorrow though, bound to be busy...

    Meeeeehning Losers!

    I really CBA with work. Not just today, at all. My retard minion has moved onto the night shift for the next 5 weeks, and everyone (including myself) are finding this some of the most amazing news. However, this morning has just dawned on me how fecking busy I'm going to be by myself! I might have to call in a lesser-spotted minion, as I don't want to work.

    Afterwards, a big shop in Tesco as it's payday!

    Laters!

    Work meh day planned but a decent sleep was had thankfully - maybe because I did manly jobs yesterday like putting a house sign up, cleaning a chimney and fitting a door

    Later is something with the kids at shrewsburys ground - if I get back in time

    I'm on the train but would rather be pedalling. Trouble is I left the bike at work last week to dash hone. Ho hum.

    More interviewing of potential victims/minions today - I'm getting a bit bored with it now!

    Afternoon all,
    Blimey, time flies when your having fun it's afternoon already. Better go in search of some scoff in a minute. Bloody knackered after a busy weekend, the boy bought me a pint legally last night at the pub down the road. Then the landlord bought us another saying to the lad "Happy birthday, I hope this is the start of a long and beautiful relationship", well they say you have to speculate to accumulate. Moderately quiet in here, unfortunately not quiet enough that I can go to sleep for a bit.

    Tuesday

    Man flu is starting to get a grip, I think it may have been a mistake to book a 150k ride through the Elan valley for Sunday

    Today is working from home, which means I can start decorating earlier, as we try and push the house towards completion :(

  • Morning Losers!

    Shopping last night was a win as I found bacon for 50p! I'll have that at some point (it's currently in the freezer).

    Waking up at 3am feeling like I was about to throw up wasn't good though. Neither was the waking up an hour later than normal and having to leave the house without breakfast or a shower. I feel dirty.

    Today's not going to be a good day.

    Laters!

    Morning all,
    Today is busier than it has any right to be, not impressed. Need to go and put some long trousers on so I can pretend to be grown up and professional. Not sure why I bother, everybody knows what I'm like.

    Morning,
    Very slow ride in this morning as I feel hungover but haven't been drinking. Got to work then needed to go to the main office. Left my bike there and a metro ride to the other side town and I'm finally at work ready for a nap. Days like this are why I've ordered a car which I'm hoping will be delivered next week.
    In other news I got my first new £5 note today. Along with a tenner, queenie looks like she's stalking me through the clear bit. Churchill is not amused, ooooh no.

    Bah, first day with almost no meetings and it was still busy as hell. Still, free lunch at some posh restaurant tomorrow will break up the tedium. Apart from that I could do with some sleep!

    Morning Losers!

    Got woken up at 3am again, this time because someones house alarm went off. That was fun. I feel much better today though and am enjoying some frosties for breakfast. Boom.

    I've got a lesser-spotted minion in today, so that should help keep off the hoards of people bugging me, sadly it's only for today.

    Morning panty liners,

    Bit foggy in the Vienne today but it didn't stop the greedy pigs or chickens shovelling their brekky down them.

    Diy for this useless crudder today with a possible ride out to the shops............which'll be nice!

    Afternoon all,
    Today is being busier than it has any right to be, as a result I'm sulking. I just walked up to Gregg's and they had next to nothing on the shelves, so I had to go to the cafe and have some dead pig, fried with brown sauce and an egg in between some slices of toast. What a shame. Pub later.

    Evening Gits,

    Just what I needed at the end of a long day was some bloody GCSE parents evening because Strifey decided she was too busy to go :roll: At least I got free lunch at a posh restaurant and wasted time interviewing more potential minions.

    There had better be some dinner in the oven when I get home !

    Morning Losers!

    The lesser-spotted minion was very useful yesterday, and as a result, I got stuff done. However I'm back to myself today, and I can just sense it's going to be a mental day.

    I made cottage pie last night. This is good.

    Laters!

    Last nights jobs never started as the tiller was finishing the floor, so we had to go to the pub :)

    Working from home today as I've got a work night out and we are meeting reasonably early doors, the advantage is I can monitor the builders

    Moaning gits,

    I was out early doing the usual animal feeding then spent an hour picking up the pig poo, for what are quite small animals at the moment they can't half sh1t!

    In other new diy again....woop woop!

    Morning Losers!

    TFI Friday! It really can't have come soon enough, it's been a hell of a week!

    I had a meeting in Bury last night, and learnt that the bloke in charge of everything is having to retire due to health issues. As much as I (and everyone there) expected this to happen, it came as a bit of a shock. Interesting times ahead.

    Today, I have meetings and various other happenings, but I'll be free come 3:30, so let's get crackin'!

    Monging all,
    Bit chilly out this morning, had to pedal faster to get warm. I seem to have a headache even though I didn't drink anything last night. The last drink is always a good idea at the time TLW, problem is that's the one that does the most damage.
    Today is a good day, it's Cakeday Fryday and I will of course have to visit the cafe to consume dead pig that's been fried. Later will include a trip to the pub for a leaving do. Hoping for a quiet weekend after last week.

    Evening Fudgenudgers,

    In the queue for fish n chips as Strifey cant be arsed to cook. That's a bonus :) Off up North tomorrow so I might end up having fish n chips twice on the trot. Later will be dossing after a hard week.
