Morning Losers!

I was absent from here yesterday as I went off for the last part of my application that I've been doing. I passed the stage, and now just have to sit and wait to hear back from them as to how I've done.

Today, I've just had Weetabix, and I'm getting myself ready for a big ride, well, biggish. The weather's horrible, and it's really dampened my mood and motivation. Only 9 days until the start of the CrudCatcher Challenge so sponsor me, it genuinely helps motivate me!

After the ride, I think some alcoholic refreshment is in order.

Laters!

Good luck TKM.
Day of pottering has been had. Off to a comedy night fundraiser at the lad's school tonight. Should be a bit of fun even if I've only heard of one of them. He's finished school apart from sitting his A levels so it's a last get together for a bunch of us parents. Drink maybe involved.
Hope all is well with the sorting Stevo.

Good luck TKM.

Up North for house clearing tomorrow. Feeling the effects of cider....

Sunday

Morning Losers!

Cheers guys. I'll keep you posted!

Today I'm over to Bury and meeting an old school friend who's getting married in a few months, and I'm playing the organ for the service, so we're meeting to find out what music they want.

Other than that and an M&S Dinner, I'll be putting stuff on eBay and generally relaxing.

Laters!

Afternoon all.
Good day has been had. Slow start was followed by a few odd jobs. Managed to wobble over to my folks to check the place hasn't fallen down in their absence. Fish were fed and none were floating belly up which is good. Beer and barbecued burgers now.

Evening n0bheads,

Weekend of being 'on it' has left me feeling blah! Still managed a couple of hours in the pool as the temps were in the mid thirties.
Need to get back grafting on the renovation project again next week as I've been slacking..........a lot!

Been cycling rather than running today, prefer Cycling

Lots of house clearing done with the help of a mate. Been at it all day and knackered. We did treat ourselves to a slap up dinner as a reward. More tomorrow, then headed back down South.

Monday

Morning Losers!

I'm not looking forward to work today, just because it's going to be deathly boring as there's nobody about. Retard minion starts at 2, so I have to put up with him for 2 hours :roll:

After work, I need to go shopping as I've barely anything in, and then when I get home, I'm having to take a couple of doors off their hinges so that I can have my organ removed tomorrow. That's right, you read that correctly.

Laters!

Work meh - not feeling the love

Plenty of lube Tkm,

Afternoon tarts and vicars,

Red hot here today so a morning of garden based graft followed by some pool time....sweet!

I hope they gave you anaesthetic for the amputation TKM.
Slow start to the day as I was at the dentist for the start of having a crown fitted. They removed my wallet by reaching down my throat I reckon. Then a busy day at work trying to catch up.

Stevo_666

Evening, now back down South after over achieving on what we set out to do on the house clearing. Got w charities round to take stuff away and made 4 trips to the dump with the car full to the brim. More to do, but the plan is going well.

Work tomorrow - balls. At least it's a 4 day week.

Tuesday

Morning losers!

Well, the movers have been and removed my organ. No pain, no problems, and the hinges have all been put back on and tightened. All is good.

Now I have the day to relax and sot stuff out. I'm going to go out for a ride later as it will be the last chance before the CrudCatcher Coast2Coast2Coast Challenge (which you all need to sponsor me for!).

Fnarr fnarr.

I'll sponsor you Mule, even if everyone else is too tight

Afternoon Bishop Bashers, missed out on yesterdays fun and frolics while oop North so just caught up with stuff :roll: Home early though to pick up ungrateful teenager from after school activity and do some research on selling stuff in auctions now I've sorted out what's in my 'rents house that can be sold rather than just chucked in a skip.

Wednesday

Morning Losers!

My legs are aching after yesterdays ride. I only did 17 miles, but climbed nearly 2,000ft. My fitness has definitely improved since the last Coast2Coast but I know I'm still going to struggle.

Got a phone call last night to organise a medical, and sods law, they wanted it on Monday next week, but because I'm away, it's been arranged for Friday. It's finally time to tell my boss what I'm up to, as I can't keep saying I have a doctors appointment. Plus, they'll be getting in touch with him soon for a reference!

Laters!

Afternoon all,
Stupidly busy here unfortunately, getting quieter now thankfully. Pub is calling for later, I'll be in need of a drink by then.
Which one is you on the C2C TKM? I can't remember.

Stevo_666

Evening Mongs,

A good pedal had to and from work in sunshine and warmth. Had to deal with some robbing gits in France which was a bit annoying (and no it wasn't bg). Now knackered and sinking a bit of French plonk, ironically!

Thursday

Morning Losers!

I'm Keith, or Keet (can't remember what it comes up as onthe website). All donations are greatly received!

Today is my last day of work before the big ride! I might go for a jog tonight as I have a medical in the morning, and feel it will do me good, and might give me a last little bit of stamina training.
Work has been so dead recently. I'm determined to read my book today!

Laters!

Stevo_666

I promise I'll sponsor you...Keith

So-so day in the office, mostly spent in meetings so far but I'm leaving early to pick up a new suit and then out on the town for a spot of wine, women and song - or something like that.

Afternoon ladies and gents of the crud,

Been a long time absent, hope you didn't miss me too much. I haven't been at work so haven't need to look busy. The old job is pretty much done with and the new self employed venture is just beginning.

I hope everyone has been busting open their wallets and sponsoring tkm for the upcoming c2c2c. I will be assisting him by taking his place at the back of the pack providing midge fodder.

Despite my lack of fitness based preparations I did get a little bottle of something special for the evenings:


That link again is: http://www.crudcatcherchallenge.co.uk/

Off to see a client later so suppose I should at least shower first.

Just as I'm about to go in and sponsor TKM Oodboo throws himself into the ring. Which one do I sponsor? Bribes gratefully accepted. Maybe I should offer sponsorship in return for depriving Ste of chips for comedy value.
Good day here, Thursday hangover was only mild. It's been busy enough to stop me getting bored without getting too manic. To top it all I've just had a load of dead pig at the cafe on expenses. Woohoo!
Off to see the lad's A level photography exhibition tonight. Thankfully won't have to stay too long.

Friday

Morning Losers!

Hey, hey, this is my turf for begging! Find your own Crudcatcher forum!

Today I have a medical as part of the worlds longest application process. I think this is the end, but then again I thought that after the 'Final Interview'!

After it I have a nice long day of relaxation. Not sure what to do, but I might go and visit the mothership.

Laters!

Morning you lovely generous lot who should sponsor all of us probably,

Finished work yesterday and drove 228 miles to Lancaster. Got to the hotel, somehow managed to book for Sunday instead of Thursday. No drama, premier Inn 10 mins up the road. Unlimited breakfast for £9 then on to Glasgow, another 160 miles away!

Morning all,
I've done my bit and sponsored TKM, tried not to be rude in a more public domain but you lot will know what I meant when I said no walking. That would really sap his energy for the ride.
Lovely sunny day down here, glorious weather for riding to work. This of course means I'm in a car, got to MOT the old dear's Micra later. What a mean machine that is.
Probably be fairly busy at work today and going for the MOT means I will miss going to the cafe. I made up for this by going yesterday so all is well. Pub with the Mrs later, roll on 4.30.

That's a fine idea, you won't be bothered about anything.

Feeling a bit tired as its the end of the week but had a good week all in. Got a decent bonus and pay hike and drank a bit much last night celebrating. Looks like the weekend is going to be a hot one 8)

Saturday

Morning Losers!

Thanks to those that have sponsored me on the Coast2Coast2Coast Challenge it's making a big difference and I'll be able to get nearer my target now.

Today I have a lot to do in preparation for the big ride. I'm going to shave my head as well, so that sun cream and midgie cream can be applied more easily.

Laters!
