    Morning

    MUST clear out the living room ready for the decorator Monday. Really CBA though. Indian meal later, so better not leave the heavy lifting to tomorrow!

    Might get a short blast out locally later.

    Bit of FTFY,

    Hola terds, saturday is here, been mincing about doing loafing activities but off to the airport soon to collect brother in law, then get him on the beers!

    Mrs has made an amazing looking meat loaf thing that features our pork and is covered in our bacon. It smells lush, shame you won't be having any!

    Evening mongs,

    Spending a weekend on the frozen north. Large curry consumed, now working my way through a stash of chilled Swedish cider and surfing the channels unopposed 8)

    Indian was infact turned into a Thai. Amazing, didn't get out yesterday due to jobs. Today must try harder.

    Weather forecast looks half decent. But still too wet to cut the grass, TFF that.

    No hangover, but a lack of sleep and dinner impacted today's 150k ride :(

    Been to the pub since to drown my sorrows

    Well I managed over 400k today, unfortunately in a car :) I'll manage 40k tomorrow to and from work...

  • Back to Work Monday

    Mehning Losers!

    CBA with everything, it all takes too much effort, and never has enough time for sleep.

    The heating still isn't on in my house, however I think that will change when I get home from work as it's damn cold this morning. I'll find out how easy it is to change gas/electric suppliers today as I believe I'm paying too much now for little old me.

    Laters!

    Not enough sleep :(

    Working from home today as we have some school thing on later.

    No heating on here, but that's because we need the plumbers to sort out the programmes as it's still works when according to the control panel it's off

    Morning,
    My knee is back to normal today but still drove here to be lazy/rest it a bit. Today I'm covering a quiet school and people will avoid giving me jobs to do as they don't know me. All the better for getting a nap in this afternoon.

    Morning 'tards, but only just.
    Only just morning that is, I'm running a bit late as I had to go and see the girl's school as she is still struggling even with reduced timetable and all that. Unfortunately that meant I had to drive in to work as although it's a bit chilly out it's lovely and sunny. Now trying to avoid work but my customers seem to have other ideas, damn them all. No pub for me tonight, but I am out every other night this week. Shame.

    The bottom feeder has prepared scoff and as it's a nice day we will be shovelling it down us outside! No boozes for this mess though!

    Evening Dickwads,

    Was a bit chilly pedalling in today but it definitely woke me up a bit. Lots of work meh in between but tomorrow is hopefully my last minion interview for a while!

    Morning Losers!

    Still no heating on today. I'm trying to rough it out as much as possible using thicker clothes, cooking and just generally trying to save pennies. There's a definite chill in the air this morning.

    Work is really running me down. I've always known I needed a minion, and not having one for the last week and a bit is beginning to show. I'm missing things, not completing things and committing to nothing. My boss has noticed it, but not offered any help or support, he's just curious why I haven't done stuff...!

    Laters!

    Morning,
    Been up since 3am so it's going to be a long day. At least I'm back covering in the quiet school so there will be naps.

    Morning all,
    Not having a great day so far. Park gates were still shut again this morning, was hoping the cull was over by now. Things seem to be going backwards with my daughter, seems stressing over getting behind with GCSE coursework is making her worse so she's getting further behind, so she's stressing more, etc, etc, etc... I'm trying to get clearance to go back to working from home as we are going into our quiet season now and there is plenty of behind the scenes stuff that needs to be done. I'm going to the pub later which will improve the day immeasurably.

    Evening butt plugs,

    Done lots of stuff today, chopping brambles and trees, found a water leak that will require a callout from the local water board and have just stuffed my face.

    Bit of chimney sweeping tomorrow, how im going to fit my fat arriss up that small tube is past me, but if santa the fat fark can make it then so can i!

    It was the minion hunting that was knackering me out! Bagged one and have the second one firmly in my sights afger interviewing today so hopefully things will get back to normal soon. Having a cold cider or two to celebrate the end of minion hunting season - hopefully.

    That knackered me out too, it was at the worst time of year to be doing it and has really got in the way of many things. The new minion starts a week on Friday, he'll have missed our busiest period. Ah well.

    Wednesday

    Morning Losers!

    Work was hectic. Got home and made space on a desk to have a little 'office' area. This pleases me.

    Morning swallowers of the sausage,

    Today is going to be full of menial tasks but i will be having another go at making some black pudding using a different recipe to our first batch. Gives me an excuse for some midweek bacons when we test it out.

    On the downside the mighty Cobblers lost last night to some ropey outfit!!

    Morning all,
    Feeling a little worse for wear after beer and curry last night, had to leave a meeting in a fairly small office in a bit of a hurry just now for everybody's benefit. Sorted working from home 3 days a week for the next couple of months, hopefully that will get things back on track. Going for lunch with the Mrs shortly. Pub again tonight as I believe it is Wednesday. Woohoo!

    Afternoon,
    Today I'm feeling surprisingly chipper and half a bottle of champagne and very little sleep. Got off to a slow start but now I'm ready to take on my lunch in preparation for an afternoon nap.

    Tomorrow night is my beer night. And it'll be free :) All I managed to do today was knacker myself out pedalling to and from work - and running on my little corporate hamster wheel in between.

  • Thursday

    Morning Losers!

    This isn't fair! I want black pudding!

    My new minion starts a week tomorrow, and honestly, it can't come soon enough! I'm fed up of running round. It's impossible to get anything done, and it's getting to the point that people are complaining that things aren't being done, and then get upset when they receive a disgruntled email from me pointing out the lack of staff. The quick apologies are quite amusing though.

    Roll on 4pm!

    As the ferkin builder didn't turn up last night we ended having a nice real walk through the woods around to the pub :)

    Today is working at an office with a shoot commute home :(

    Morning,
    My weekend starts today so once the kids are at school I'm going out on my bike. Got a couple of appointments to get one of them to so it'll just be a short ride. Still, beats working.
