    Ta, whilst I may have gained on him a little I'm still younger than Stevo.

    Spent the morning up North registering the death after the hospital finally pulled their finger out and issuing the death certificate. Not going back again until just before the funeral, just as well as I am sick of motorway driving !

    Work tomorrow - marvellous :roll: At least I'm out tomorrow evening to start getting things back to normal.

    Thursday

    Morning Losers!

    I have the day off woooo! Though it's quite a stressful one. I've been for a run, and have plenty to do this morning as I have interviews, exams and various other things to contend with this afternoon. After all that, I have the pleasure of going to a meeting in the evening, so I don't get to rest much.

    Laters!

    Today is working from home

    And then if time another play on the full sus in the woods, had an absolute giggle last night, only saw a couple of people so could really enjoy the dry trails

    Though........ that woodchip on the ceiling still needs removing

    If you take off the woodchip you'll uncover all sorts of horrors, then the ceiling will have to be replastered. You're much better off going out on the bike.

    Morning all,
    Beer and curry last night has resulted in hangover and gut rot this morning, hardly surprising. The asylums seem to have thrown all the idiots out and told them to phone me this morning. It's going to be a long day.

    Been in the office today - and a further week or so of normality beckons, including beer and curry tonight. Not sure I could face another drive up the A1 for a while!

    Fridayyyyyyyy

    Morning Losers!

    TFI Friday, it's been a long week!

    The interviews yesterday were really, really intense and knackering. I've no idea how I did, I'll find out in 3 weeks if I advance to the next round. I slept badly last night though, I thought I'd be out like a log, but I kept waking. Meh.

    Today, I have to put up with retard minion again. I'm sure he'll be in panic mode as things 'went wrong' yesterday. Who knows.

    Laters!

    Yeah Friday

    Working locally so I can pedal a bit. Later the eldest is at a friends for the night and the youngest has got a friend over for tea.

    Both of those events could potentially impact pub time :(

    Hope you get the right result Mule.

    The weekend starts here and I'm having a rest. Bit knackered so could do with a bit of a doss for a change.

    Saturday

    Yeah

    So far it has been a slow start with a pig based breakfast and then dad taxi

    Just waiting for the kids to finish their club and then it's off for mop chops

    Then a few jobs followed by drinking somewhere - probably a local ish one as we get a walk in too

    Doing jobs and getting supplies - slowly. Will probably sit down and try to write the eulogy that I was brainstorming.last night, with some footy thrown in for light relief.

    That was an hour of my life I'll never get back. Even the pleasure of seeing Sunderland go down was not that great! Tonight's will be better - can't be worse.

    Went out with the hound through the park and woodsthis morning and am now supping tea for a change. Later will be as few jobs as possible, footy and a spot more eulogy writing. And some Thai nosh for dinner Mmmm...

    as expected, yesterdays finishing off of the removal of woodchip = getting the ceiling replastered hopefully next week & delaying the decorator

    Evening all.
    Bank holiday weekends are great, should do it every week. Got a few jobs done and even finished the new wheels for the Cotic. Well pleased with them, they even look straight. The thin rimmed wheels that were on it are now on the Kinesis after a bit of dicking about.
    Why don't you plaster the ceiling yourself TLW? How hard can it be? If you do this all the plaster you try to put on the ceiling will end up on the floor, I guarantee it. At least with walls some of it stays on the wall.

    In keeping with Bank Holiday tradition we did sweet FA.

    Stropteens boyfriend dropped by earlier and saved me buying a hockey mask and a chainsaw as he seems to be a nice lad. Not looking forward to work tomorrow, will be a bit of a shockmafter al this time off that I've had !

    Seems being the operative word there. Think back to when you were a spotty hormonal yoof, then buy the hockey mask.

    We've got ourselves a Corbyn lover!

    Back-To-Work Tuesday - Meh

    Morning Losers!

    I've had a crackin' weekend. My dog walking friend bought a car, so is now mobile and hopefully means I don't have to travel as much. She stayed with me on Sunday night. Monday I went out for a nice 12 mile spin and basically I'm still knackered! Oh, and Bury managed to stay in League 1 (even though they lost on Saturday)

    Today, I need to get to work early as someone moaned on Friday. He'll be getting a black eye if he comes in and says anything, the smarmy creepy smiling barsteward!

    Laters!

    Tell if she wants the job doing properly she can do it herself. She's allowed to tell you what she wants doing or how she wants something done but not both. Etc Etc. What's the worst that can happen :P

    Normalish if slightly short week in the office for me (which is good) - apart from dealing with solicitors on probate and stuff like that. I even pedalled in today as I was desperate for some bloody exercise.

    Wednesday

    Morning Losers!

    Yesterday was a long day. I'm glad it's over. I did get pizza in the evening though, so that was good.

    Today I just need to soldier on through work, then I'll get home and go for a quick spin on the bike. I need to make sure it's working properly and I'm happy with all the components. At the moment, I need to work on the dropper, but it's not a biggy.

    Laters!
