    Thanks lads,

    To say its been a grim weekend is a bit of an understatement. But I'm home for a couple of days or so and feeling a bit better.

    Morning topiarists,

    Bit of mincing about as usual then it's off to a chums for foods and possible boozes though as it's my turn to drive i may have to wait for a drink till i get home.

    Weather here is lovely which is odd as being a bank,holiday weekend I've only ever been used to rain, snow, gloom and misery!
    Ps the nesting boxes that i built yesterday are being used by our hens today, I'm so happy!

    Happy Easter Mongday ditch diggers. Not much going on today after a busy couple of days, back is giving me serious gyp after replacing the bathroom floor Saturday. Off for a big family meal at the 'rents later.
    Back to the madness tomorrow, deep joy.

    Busy day catching up with daily stuff and researching other stuff that I'd rather not be doing. Tomorrow Ill go into work to hand over some stuff and have a word with minions and boss before I head North again, probably on Wednesday

    Easter Tuesday

    Sorry to hear about your old man Stevo. Hope everything goes smoothly from here on.

    Morning Losers!

    I've had a fantastic weekend. Managed to get out on the bike several times and get some good miles in, relaxed, ate well, and my dog-walking friend stayed over a few times so lots of dog walking and sex.

    Today I'm back at work, and really cannot be arsed.

    I'm off to Horwich tonight to watch Bury play Bolton. We'll probably get murdered, but hey ho.

    Laters!

    so lots of dog walking and sex.

    I always thought these were the same thing.....

    Morning fools,

    Day off after working last 10 so tired as fark. The woman is working tonight so I'll spend the day making her happy to fill some time before I can ride later.

    They are, that's why TKM's friend has the only dog in the country that runs away when it hears the lead being picked up. Or is it more like this:

    Anyway, back at work (reluctantly) and now trying to get on top of things before it all kicks off. First cup of tea has been drunk, need more.

    Thanks Mule,

    Have actually been in the office to teflon desk stuff to minions and talk to the boss etc. Everyone has been great about it and I can take as much time as I need. also spent some time on phone to undertakers etc and they have a lot of it covered. I even slept quite well last night !

    I won't even ask what Veronese searched for when he found that pic...

    Evening chumps,

    Been a driving here there and everywhere today, shops,mtip, airport! Collected the brother and sis in law for their week stay, going to get them grafting.
    Found a load of pig bones and skin that i have forgotten about from processing the little snorkers, smelt blooming n awful and may mean the cool box they were in might need binning! Maggots, flies the lot, imagine Gts mums nether region!
    Yuk!

    I think it was "man dressed as dog" or something equally innocuous. Did it at work so avoided dog fetish or anything. Bizarrely most of that type of picture were from the Daily Mail.

    Yeah Tuesday

    Early start was endured as I cycled into an office a reasonable distance away, I've decided that leaving before TKM posts is too early

    Kids are now at my parents for the week so took the opportunity to walk to the next village for food and beer

    Wednesday Morning Post

    Veronese, what the fark is that!? My understanding was that the difference between walking and sex was the number of people involved.

    Morning Losers!

    So Bury held Bolton to a 0-0 draw last night, which was a bit rubbish. A bit of excitement wouldn't have gone amiss, and us getting 3 points would have been much better. Riding the bike over to the game was great fun though!

    Today I'm by myself again, which was quite nice actually. I'd rather be by myself, running around work like a headless chicken, than have the retard minion with me.

    Ok, you can all set off for work now.

    Laters!

    Yeah, I know, a tangent popped into my head and I ran with it. Or should that be walked?
    Bloody knackered this morning, bad night's kip for some reason. Bunking off at 11.30 to take the girl child up to Great Ormond Street for them to fob us off and do nothing I suspect, not that I have any idea what they could do. More than a bit fed up with the whole thing. It seems to be Wednesday already so I will of course be going to the pub later.
    onwards and upwards...

    Long trip North as some twunt crashed in the Blackwall tunnel and got it completely closed for ages.

    Got here in time to get the drains unblocked. Just as well as I really needed a crap. Have done a fair bit of tidying the house, turfing stuff out and choosing photos for the order of service. Have now raided the grog cabinet.

    Thursday

    Morning Losers!

    Work is still ok, it's not too busy, though I'm not sat down for very long before someone else wants something. It's working off the mahoosive curry I had the other day though. I swear I put on about 5lbs after eating that!

    I really need to get out on the bike after work, but motivation is really hard when you're knackered.

    Morning jizz stains,

    Senior minion has thrown a wobbly and buggered off so my post work ride today will be replaced by an extra 5 hours at work. Ballbag.

    More time to hassle suppliers for freebies for the cruddy coast to coast I guess.

    Afternoon monkey spankers,
    Mild Thursday hangover has now faded into nothing more than a memory. Rather too busy for my liking at work, still a day behind on getting orders out. The Easter break means we wind up with about 6 days worth of work to be done in 4. Managed to wobble in to work today, might take a longer way back along the river if it's nice out at 4.30. Need to finish the new wheels for the Cotic and take that out for a ride soon.

    Evening Gits,

    Undertakers, solicitors and care homes today - it just doesn't get much better than this. Just as well there's still plenty of booze in the house.

    Headed back south tomorrow for a normal weekend. Then back up next week.

    Fank Fark it's Friday!

    Morning Losers!

    It's only been a 4 day week, but ye Gods it has felt longer!

    Roll on 4pm so that I can get out of this hell hole and head over to Bury. It's the last home game of the season so I'll be off to that tomorrow, and then I have my weekends back. Should be nice.

    Laters!

    Feck knackered

    Late night watching Man Utd scum with my old chap and the kids. They loved it, spending a fortune in the shop and ordering drinks constantly

    After less than 5hrs kip I've ended up in an office which by the time I get home will be about a 5hr commute :(

    Pub later if the kids aren't too tired

    Monging morns,
    Also very glad it's Fryday. Got to bunk off extra early as I've got to pick the girl up from another hospital appointment, unfortunately this means I will have to skip going to the cafe for lunch, I'll get my colleagues to bring me back a dog roll. Going to meet the Mrs in the pub later, no kids will be involved.
    Onwards and upwards...
