Currently I'm tidying the house and watching Big Brother Hijack with Andy McNab :D
This morning I went to the gym, then I did a bit of pruning in the garden and Leon helped me tear down 2 fence panels in our garden (they're rotten and need replacing). Then I filled my brown garden waste bin with cuttings from the horrible prickly bush I'm trying to get rid of and pulled lots of weeds and unwanted plants up.
This afternoon I'm going to finally install the new HDD on my computer, install windows and start transferring everything across. Then I've got to re-format my uncle's PC. And then I might make a lemon cake and cook sardines for tea.
Tomorrow... god knows! I can barely cope with what today has to offer :p

Busy cat indeedy.
I've fished around for something to do next week to keep me busy & am going to sort my little Sisters back yard out. It's full of rubbish & broken things & all sorts of trash & junk. Fifty trips to the tip & some hard graft should sort it :p
Home cooked meal plus making my little cousin Brookes' back garden fit for use is my reward :cool:

At the moment Lynnie's dad is here putting in a shower for us as there wasn't one in the house when we got in. That means that although I'm currently on the laptop, I'm listening out for any shouts as I'll help if/when I'm needed. I've also set up our Sky modem as it finally arrived today, and I've put the 360 on the network so I'm finally back on Live again.
When Lynnie's dad has left I'll be setting up our new 42" TV which arrived today, as well as moving the new tumble dryer into place. Then it'll be a takeaway with Lynnie's mum and a film on the new TV :D Then I plan on kicking ass on Call of Duty 4 online when Lynne has gone to bed :D
Tomorrow I may well set up the computer and start copying the important stuff to the external drive as I've got a new SATA drive to put in as well as a wireless network card. When that's done it'll just be the simple but laborious job of installing the new hard drive, installing Windows XP, and re-installing all of our programs and updates. Thankfully the laptop means we won't be without the internet so I can take my time with that :)
Spent the morning cleaning both rat cages out - Cmot is currently sulking as he had fallen asleep with his butt in chicken noodles so his fur was all yellow and sticky so I threw him in the sink ;D He didn't actually seem to mind too much at the time but he knows if he sulks he'll get treats later :o
Had a friend come round and collect some boxes as she is moving house soon.
Also friends are down from Manchester; Paul is heading back later this afternoon so he is here atm showing Mic how to play Hellgate London.
Had a text from Loz who might be popping in later as she is in Southsea.
Have a sh*tty headache which started last night and won't go away :(
Cooking pork loins with minted new potatoes and steamed veg tonight and will be watching CSI: NY.
No plans for tomorrow as yet (unless I've forgotten something) but I think I'll have to go to the shops to find something for dinner at some point.
Been to work.
Done the shopping.
Having first sit down of the day. Got to do all the housework next.
Tomorrow, work, pole session then home and more housework.

Well just finished celeb hi-jack and was very disappointed :( still tidying though ;D
This morning popped down to Bromley to pick up a freebie engine. No head on it but the timing bits are useful. The rest will go to the scrapper.
Currently trying to figure out why my stupid HCPC is still refusing to pick up any hard drives. Getting a tad fed up with it now :angry:
And shortly I'm off to the pub for a bit of a reunion.
Tomorrow I'm working.
Not a lot planned this weekend. I need sleep.
Wow people have been either super busy or super chilled! Tis goooooooood!
This morning I did some playing with the Trio (Picky and I have been working on "stay" today... she's getting it quite well, albeit very distracted by all sorts of noises in the garden!)
Read up some more on dog training and things (read Kittens veeeeeeery helpful email - at somepoint hun I will collar you on MSM and get some more info out! Thank you so so much though! Really interesting read and by the sounds of things... we're on the right tracks! YAY!)
I then cleaned the kitchen, played some more, did lunchy and a sudoku thingy and have just finished the ironing (which I have been doing whilst watching Rick Stein and Naked Chef!)
Been thumbing my way through a cook book and have now popped online to see what's on with people, so nice to see this thread :)
Next plans... possibly a poota game (not done this in a while... wanna see if xbox live will let me play poker... didn't like me last time :( ) Then some cooking (Roast chicken with Marmite marinade! First time trying it... looking forward to it!) Then hopefully I will be watching an episode of Heros and fiiiiiiingers crossed... Top Gun for the first time! YAY!
Tomorrow = part time work at Sainsburys, then have the web designer dude coming over to finalise some bits in prep for it being up and running next week. (About blooming time!)
Big love to all, and thank you for all your texts this weekend! They've made me smile uber amounts :) xx
This morning, I went to work (huzzah for secretly working on pay rise inducing projects!).
This afternoon, I've been watching World Trade Center.
Last night went to Spice Girls concert at O2 - it was WICKED!!!! We were right next to the stage (upload photos later) :D slept in till 1030 :D
Then this morning I went for a run and did some skipping when I came back (I SWEAR it was easier when I was 7 :p) then I called Orange and fixed my bloody internet.
Went to Halfords to return the overalls that didn't fit my brother - God knows where I am going to get another pair as they were the biggest they did!
Posted a letter to my Freehold company and had a bath :cool: as I haven't had hot water for two months and it got fixored yesterday woot!
Going to tidy my crap up and then have something to eat before getting ready to go out for Chantal's birthday :)
Tomorrow...sleep in and see Roberto :D! I have a cheesecake recipe, but am thinking about postponing it till next weekend...

Today I had a meeting with 2 film students who want to document me. Thats going to be interesting. I'm about as professional as a piece of lettuce. Should be a laugh though. I just have to remember not to ask a model to imagine a diamond cock ring and I'll be fine. Went for a walk around town and got some photos for a book. Watched new Stargate Atlantis and I'm now typing this reply. Soon I shall be listening to music and browsing the photos.
Tomorrow I shall be visiting a mates exhibition, getting photos and planning my exhibition.
Today went to Parcel Force to pick up some tools, and had a look in the local race/ rally shop as we were down that way.
Came home and got the track car brakes changed over. I didn't help much, managed to undo 5 bolts with the help of Phil and took a clip off all on my own :/ Then I was generally the fetcher of things Phil needed.
Think I'm gonna go in the bath now! Want something nice for tea but dunno what.
Tomorrow it's more working on the track car, and if the weather is nice I'm going to clean him.
Headache got the better of me and I buggered off to bed at about 3ish - got up about 10 minutes ago. Had to text Loz and tell her so no visit :( Head is still hurting though :( *takes painkillers*

Currently watching old Top Gear episodes on Dave.
Kell and me are having a blokes night tonight - consisting of curry, beer and movies (Alien vs Predator and Demolition Man) with a bit of Wii Sports thrown in for good measure :D
Only downside is that we have to do a girlie night in the future some time :confused:

But tonight sounds like a girlie night :D
Doing not much. A bit of work (boo), getting the address book sorted for the new home phones (transferred relevant contacts off the mobile onto an old SIM card which then goes into the base station), then getting everything charged. Will install them tomorrow.
Going to do a little shopping (if it isn't raining - one hour walk each way) and tidying tomorrow.

Worked 8-7 today and yesterday, tomorrow is 8 till whenever, probably 10.....fun!
Just got back from my reuinion. Basically my 2nd cousin used to run a local-ish pub. He gave it up a couple of years back to concentrate on his outside bars business which had taken off with a bang. It was an opportunity to get all the regulars back together (at a different pub run by one of his former staff as the old pub is crap now!).
Shame I had to leave early cos working tomorrow :( But one former regular made a suprise visit to say Hi. Keith Flint. Fortunately didn't get a chance to re-match at pool. I think I'm still 2-1 up ;D
Uncle's PC and lemon cake have been pushed out to tomorrow. My computer is much more important :p Sardines were bloody lovely :D
;D
Glad its still behaving even if the OS didn't last long. :)
He tried to install SP2 even though i told him not to touch updates :rolleyes:
Today I have mostly been buyong fancy weeding bridesmaid underwear and then getting totatly trillied in Harvey Nicks from 5pm! AMAXING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I have just returned from a fun afternoon/evening at my friend Ian's house :)
We started by playing silly buggers with his old PC (a P2, 333MHZ system with 348(I KNOW)MB of RAM and a 2MB ATI RAGE GFX card.... We installed XP on it and it seems happy :p Have texted Huddy (which he's not replied to) about seeing if he has any spare parts which can be bought off him for it...
After that we played a fair old amount of Resident Ebil : The Umbrella Chronicles on his Wii (the Wii Zapper is sooooooo cool :D), before his lovely girlfriend served up a fantastic lasagne which we enjoyed with a lovely glass of Merlot each and followed it up with some awesome chocolate cheesecake :)
Tomorrow I shall mostly be playing EVE (needs must I spend 3.5bn on minerals to build stuff) and probably continue working my way through Angel (halfway through season 3 at the moment :))... I may also install the lovely HDD which Kate sent me :)
Then I have work on Monday :/
I have several oldish AGP cards (and some not-so-old ones), and since I'm slowly retiring all my AGP hardware I guess I can hand over one of those.
Went out this morning at 10 to go to work.
Got to work to find out that thanks to Lloyds TSB overpaying me for two months then subtracting it all this month, that my monthly pay was £22.99 this month.
Was at work till 8pm, got home at 9ish.
Felt obliged to eat even though I wasn't hungry. Watched some show with Paul Merton in, which took twice as long to watch thanks to being in and out of the loo. Then watched a DVD of Lee Mack live. Just about to go to bed although my stomach is still doing flipflops :/
Then tomorrow is pretty much the same as above but hopefully with no stomach problems and probably not the same TV shows :p
I (Faysh) had a cracking day at work, I (Faysh) was the little island of calm and control in Custody when all about him were flapping and panicking. I (Faysh) got a glowing commendation off the early turn Sgt (he mailed my boss too!)
I'm now drinking beer and staying up for a night shift tomorrow.
Today I have mostly been buyong fancy weeding bridesmaid underwear and then getting totatly trillied in Harvey Nicks from 5pm! AMAXING!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG some of us have our lives in their hands.. *shakes head*
;)
Went out to the pub then to the club and spent a grand total of £10! :D so chuffed....need to save the pennies.
Even though the club wanted to charge us £15 to get in and we argued that it said ladies free before 1am... noobs
Currently munching on Rob's crisps... sshhhh don't tell anyones ;)

I just got in, i'm amazed i managed to walk in those damn heels, i never died once! They have put the night bus fares up though the bastards! but some lovely guy that was in the queue behind me paid the rest, he was lovely too. I've had a brilliant night :) *dancing party and smoking out windows - naughty*
Am now leaving for work. Boo!
Centralish London too. At least it's sunday so shouldn't be too bad a drive.

Woke up at six and spent an hour trying to get back to sleep....
Now playing EVE :)
Head still bad :'( Housework today - might be lazy and just do burgers and oven chips for dinner :o
That'll be off sick today courtesy of being up half the night in the loo and now feeling rather nauseous with a non existent appetite.
Going back to bed now I've called in. :(
Get well soon, both of you.
Got the new phones in.
Think I might have finally realised my bed isn't going to last the six months I'd hoped. *bang*. Oops. I think it's still holding for now but the more springs in the base snap the worse the problem gets (already lost at least two). Time to start (a) shopping, (b) clearing out the bedroom, and (c) getting more into debt than I'd hoped - especially as I've just replaced my aging laptop as well. :(

The new heels? I went out in the on Friday and amazed myself - managed to walk 20 mins to the train station, 10 mins to the pub and 10 mins to the nightclub, stand and eat pizza and dance to 2 songs before they hurt!!!

Yeah, i was totally wasted last night. I had to edit my post to make it legible. I love those shoes, glad you got them in the end :D
Some b*stards have stolen our house number sign :'(
Because the front door is down the side road, we put the sign there to help people find us - I got a nice slate one and it cost us about £40 :'(
I hate it when people do such pointless things like that just because they're drunk :'(
Thats... just odd. Some guy will wake up and go "Hahaha what?"
Yeah but their "Hahaha what?" is costing me money to get it replaced! It was screwed to the wall FFS - it must have taken a while to unscrew it!!
Edit - sorry that came across as snappy and rude - I'm just annoyed and upset :(
Its much the same reason people nick traffic cones (or stagger down the street in a stupor trying to use them as megaphones) - ultimately entirely pointless but when asked 'it seemed funny at the time'.
While its no consolation to you, I'm glad that's never happened to me. As far as I'm concerned, my door number (and my neighbours) are both priceless.

Don't worry, I'd be well fecked off if that happened too. Unscrewing it from the wall does take the piss a bit.

I love them too. Spent most of the night looking at my feet going 'eeeeeeh'. I really can't believe how comfortable they actually are too.
Well, rain stopped play today although we did manage to get the front brakes changed and all 4 bled. decided to take him for a run but remembered we hadn't torqued the wheel nuts up so came back rather hastily, and carefully!!!
What shoeses?? Show the shooooooes!
Had a fantastic day yesterday :D
Windows and various other shizzle has now been installed on uncle's computer, I've made the cake, hoovered, done the washing and now I'm going to do bugger all :p

Some b*stards have stolen our house number sign :'(
Someone did similar to us.
Our post box was a hole in the wall next to the drive and someone pulled the shutter/facade off it. It's shared by us and our elderly neighbour and she was quite upset about it.
I ended up putting new boxes up by our respective front doors and cementing in the old slots.
It's better really as we don't get bits of rubbish in our postbox anymore.
I'm listening to Bristol Vs Cardiff Blues right now. We (Bris) need a 4 try win to have any chance of making the quarter finals. 30 minutes gone. Still 0-0, with a try a piece ruled out for forward passes.

If/when you replace it, consider getting some security screws, the ones with odd shaped holes/heads (or glue it to the wall with No More Nails!).

Bah, finished 17-0 to the sheep shaggers :'(
I'm geeting muscles from lifting wheels and undoing stiff bolts. Who needs gyms? Just buy a rusty car!!!
Visited my mates exhibition. Was impressive. Went for a walk and got some photos. Saw some odd things including a group of people who'd just finished painting "Do you believe in God" on the side of a building. This was like 2 feet tall lettering at the top of the building. Not sure whats going on there. Lugged my laptop around as I was going to chill in FACT cafe all afternoon but it was closed when I arrived. Silly cafe. Hypoglycemia attacked so I grabbed munchies and walked back to the car park. All cafes need free wifi and to not close early on Sunday.
Why just restrict that to cafes? Free wifi for everyone I say. :)
After trying my very best to break my bed even more than it was broken before vacuuming copious dust from behind a cupboard, I installed my new home phones (old ones have knackered batteries again, and the base has a knackered speaker). Then got lazy while researching bed stuff. :o
Most recently, salmon and cream cheese sarnies. Not typical Sunday food but the salmon needed finishing up so there we are. Nomtastic. :)

I prefer to sit in a cafe than Argos for 2hrs ;)
Got back from work about lunchtime. The old man came round and I've now got a heater wired into the bedroom yay! And some hooks on the back of a cupboard door to hang the ironing board from. Ain't I getting domesticated ;D
Now I'm back on getting the HCPC running properly again. Progress is being made :)

:D
Got them for myself with Christmas vouchers then a week later discovered Vix was drooling over them and was like BUY THEM THEY ARE MADE OF WIN! So she did and we both agree on their winlike properties. :)
Yesterday I nabbed a hire car and drove back down south to my parents, had a lazy afternoon enjoying a hot bath and then went to a friend of mines wedding blessing (He got married in South Korea back in December), followed by the reception.
This morning I set out fairly early, picked up a Hawaiian lass I know and went to my old church and caught up with some folks there. Spent the rest of the afternoon chilling with the Hawaiian girl before I dropped her back home at 5 and drove back up to London. Looking forward to my bed now, I'm absolutely knackered.
Well this morning I did bugger all and layzed in bed, it was great. This afternoon was spent round the parents having sunday roast, writing up work reports and then went down the gym to do some weights. I have lost all the muscle though, so essentially its starting again from square 1 :/
Finally put 2&2 together on something..... and promptly ran a mile :D bwahahaha makes me laugh
*drools*
They are indeed made of win :D
Insomnia sucks :/ alarm doesn't go off for another 10 minutes and I'm already up, washed, dressed and have done all the washing up :/
Me too :( Been up for ages, didn't have to get up til 7.
I was up at 7 too. Normally I'd just try and lie in but decided **** it and got up today. Might go back and get my head down again for half an hour though as I can feel first signs of a headache. :/
Might even make a start on clearing some crap out the bedroom today too so I can plan to move everything around and put a new bed in.
New laptop arriving today may, however, delay that a little.

Well I've been quite busy lately with various things; firstly I've become a bit obsessed with genealogy and thats taking up quite a bit of my spare time, I've been using online resources mostly but I've managed to trace a lot of my lines back to around 1800 and a few back further than that. Using things like genesreunited you can contact people who match your tree so I've been in touch with a few people from around the world who are part of my distant family which is pretty cool :)
The other thing we've been doing is trying to plan a big holiday this year, we haven't done anything really exciting foreign holiday wise since we got married and its something we've always talked about so we're researching that, its looking like it might be a Tiger Safari or a tour of Northern India in an organised tour but using public transport and visiting more out of the way places as well as more touristy places like Dehli, neither of us have been there before so its pretty exciting. If we don't do India it will probably by South America.

a Tiger Safari
*jealous*
That and a full tour of Egypt/pyramids/etc are my two dream holidays :)

Wondered where you've been lately, That explains it :cool: I like a bit of geneology myself but it's a bit hard tracing a family of Vagrants ;D My dad has some lovely old photos though of the family back in the horse & cart days, proper Cadburys flake i tell ya.
Today i am going down town, going to the Job centre & generally Mooching about, I like Mooching. Bloody cold up here this morning, One of those proper frosty mornings. All the women will be all wrapped up which spoils the whole trip out to be quite kin honest. I will have to rely on Witty banter with mates to make the trip out a good one :)
right now i'm on one of my 'breaks' and will be for another 30mins before another 2 hours stint on the front line!
Later tonight I'm planning a few beer, hopefully a Samichlaus or two, as one of my mates just got 60% on a final year exam that he expected to be the most difficult.
Tomorrow - back to the grindstone... with that in mind i'd better not have more than a couple of Samichlaus.
I've finally told my boss (my dad) that I no longer want to be a sales rep. I explained that I stuck it out for a year to see how it went and by the end of the year I felt like I never wanted to go into work. So we talked and I'll be carrying on till April when a bonus comes through. So between now and then I need to save as much as possible so I can buy a car as the company car and phone will be taken off me :(
Also going to try and finish the police application form tonight and have a chat with the ex-copper that lives over the road.

Well, I dumped 70 mags in the recycling today, reduced another junk pile by three inches, and received a shiny new (refurb) Dell D830 laptop (another happy Europc customer). :cool:
Not done anything with the latter besides inspect for damage and check it powers on (which it does).

I have an D830, nice bit of kit. What resolution screen did you get?
Nice one Mark :cool:
I heart my 820 muchly. Seen a few 830's come into work, and it certainly looks like they're continuing to do a pretty good job with this series.
Chassis: Dell D830
OS: Vista Business (shame it's the 32-bit version - would have preferred 64-bit).
CPU: Intel T7700 (2.4GHz, 4MB L2)
RAM: 4GB
HDD: 160GB (hope it's 7200rpm - sounds like it might be)
Gfx: Quadro NVS 140M
Screen: 1680 x 1050 (1280 x 800 would have done - unlikely to run it higher)
Got the whole lot for £850 (that spec is somewhere around £1400 new).

I've been a Busy lad today, If i tell you anymore i would have to Kill you like Akmed the dead Terrorist ;)
I'm having a tough week. Yesterday we did missing persons (ok), sudden deaths and delivering agony messages (meh!). Today we covered child abuse/abduction/cruelty and indecent assaults, with special attention paid to the finer details of the Victoria Climbie case (sorry to swear but...**** me :( Unimaginable horror) Tomorrow we are looking at the effects of indecent assaults, marching and I have to pass another fitness test despite not training for over 10 weeks. Thursday we're off to the mortuary to see dead people and learn how to deal with them, Friday RSPCA input and the domestic violence input starts.
Sometimes you just need to come home to a hug and have a good cry.....chocolate is filling the gap quite nicely!! *biffa*
That sounds like a very rough week Pebs :( *hugs*
It does indeed. Shows how much **** a copper has to put up with that you don't realise until you actually do the job/know someone who does.
What with having a family of your own I can at least speculate on how some of that must feel. My respect goes to you for sticking with it. While you know there's going to be **** times, there'll be good times too.

yay work computer didnt let me log on here (why i havnt posted for a while) and Lozza just sent me the ip, which worked!
So I've just eaten my lunch and the only plans I have tonight are either startinrecording on a song with my band, or finishing off a song I started last night.
Afterwards finish watching 12 Monkeys as we fell asleep watching it last night :)
Tonight might have to involve a takeaway and a glass of wine once I'm done in the garage.
Amy is coming round tonight before she heads home to Manc and tomorrow I'm dropping boxes round a friends house and trying to steal her rats.
No idea what to do for dinner - it may end up being a boring jacket spud and cold meat. Tomorrow will have to be something quick and easy as I know we'll end up spending too long fussing over Jos boys :)

Off to buy a new aerial for my Mundano as some ****er has stolen it. May have a test drive of a new one while I'm there.
If I'm feeling really brave I may even pop into PC World* to look at external hard disks.
*Work is paying so I don't really care if it's an extra £20

23-01-2008, 14:54
On the aerial front I might have a spare one. I found around 20-30 at the top of our street last year so stuck them in the back of our car. Let me know what connection it has and I might have one for the cost of the postage :D
Did you have any luck with the mirror? with MOT due next month we're going to have to get one as otherwise its a fail :/

I'll call them today for you and ask :) just to confirm :o it's drivers and electric? What year is your car?
Does the mirror work? Is it still attached? Aslong as you can see out of it, it isn't a fail. The Polo currently doesn't have a passenger one but that isn't a fail because I have the driver and internal mirrors :D \o/
Currently in Starbucks after a meeting killing parking ticket time. Tonight... I think deciding things on exhibition.

There is no mirror there at all just the housing which is why it would fail. Its the drivers side electric. Car is R reg 1997

Did some weightlifting. 27KG old mags/leaflets/letters stuffed in a recycling basket and handed to the binmen. I watched it leave. Good riddance.
Plenty more where that came from though. :/
I'll raise your 27kg to 140kg of old engines and other scrap metal :) Not all lifted at the same time!
Even got paid £23 for it which was an unexpected bonus!
Now got the laptop up and booted. I thought of a way to use Ghost on it but one of the floppies was knackered and I couldn't be bothered to make another. DD image will suffice. :)
Somewhat disappointed by the Vista performance score of 3.3, but even so it doesn't seem to be doing too badly.

Currently sat in work trying to avoid actually doing any, while watching the Federer - Dvokavic tennis match via the BBC website. Looking forward to playing footy after work today, just hoping my ankle holds up as I twisted it on Monday and it's still not completely recovered yet.
Typing minutes up from a meeting last night. Plan to get my fat arse to the gym after work. Cooking a pork joint tonight - undecided whether to go roast spuds/veg/gravy route or new pots/veg/sauce way. Haven't watched Atlantis, CSI or Torchwood from this week yet so will probably watch them tonight.

Oooh they'll be dead good at that. Plus, if they come to life you'll have a Hot Fuzz / Shaun of the Dead cross over type thing. Dead Fuzzy.
Shoot went well. Meeting went well. Missed the afternoon event due to the time it took to sort this mornings photos. Had a few issues as despite the Times being very specific about the shots they wanted, they didn't specify landscape or portrait. So come 4pm's meeting I get a call half way though asking for landscape and I just didn't have very many. So I'm hoping I didn't cock that up completely as it would be nice to get more work. I am now watching Top Gear and having incurable thirst while trying to stay awake so I can answer the phone at 9:30. Tomorrow, being filmed while doing super stressful street photography. I thought it'd be fun :D Sunday I need to take my 2nd "9 months" photo but I have no ideas. Its Holocaust memorial day but theres only 1 event in town. So... hmmm.
Good luck Pete :)
Tomorrow, I'm at work 9 till 6 but it's my penultimate day so I'm not too bothered :D Want it over with so I can get on with the next bit of my life. Plus pub lunch as a farewell thingy for me. :)
Good Luck.
This afternoon I was mostly walking. Undoubtedly all the good work since undone by food, but meh. ;D
Anyway, posted off a box for Treefrog (cost £2 more than I'd hoped but £10 less than it would if I hadn't walked), then picked up train tickets for Liverpool. They charge you 50p for the priviledge of collecting your own tickets - from a machine. The sheer cheek of it! Mind you, I thought the machine was going to print an entire deck of playing cards for me but fortunately it stopped after 7. :D
Tomorrow, if the weather is friendly, I shall be walking more to redo the good work done before the bad today, and shall be bugging lots of salesmen for as long as I can get away with without actually giving them any money. I suppose I might end up, eventually, giving one of them some money, but I'll take some convincing first. Then, I shall be decimating a pile of paper and probably spilling the results everywhere. No doubt the shredder will overheat several times, as it usually does.
Paula - Make sure you're drinking lots of water and get yourself to the doctors on an emergency appointment next time it's open. I had a kidney infection that the doctor misdiagnosed as backache and nearly had to go to hospital in the end. He told me to rest with a hot water bottle on it. The heat + the infection made it MUCH worse until I could barely make it to the doctors. I nearly fainted in the waiting room because it was so painful. Another doctor diagnosed it almost straight away and I spent the next 2 weeks on antibiotics, spaced out on painkillers. Not a pleasant thing to have at all, because there's no relief from it.

Falling flat on my phace. :o
Was out walking because I'd nowt better to do (so didn't have to be out at all really). Tried to get past some people, went too far, stumbled several times over the edge of the pavement and down I went. OK so far though save a bleeding graze on my arm (cleaned/antiseptic'd/plastered). I'll live. :)

Well just finished watching HP - Order of the Phoenix. I'll browse about for a bit. I did manage to paint the ceiling and cracking on the bike.
Oh, before I fell on my phace, I did manage to bug several bed salesmen for about four hours - including lying on numerous beds, making my mind up, checking somewhere else, changing my mind, etc. Anyway, one of them eventually got a sale. Now I just have to make room for it. Nowt like a deadline. :)
Just been chatting to my dad about the possibility of leaving the country and living in Florida. Apparently there is a shortage of valve distributors over there and he has been talking to a good friend of his about opening up a company over there. That would of course mean leaving the UK and working in the states.
I'm supposed to be revising 'professional ethics' for my exam on Thurs, but I find it really hard to revise things which are common sense.
Want to go help Phil on Humphrey but my leg, arm, hand and back all hurt so I'd be even more useless.
Feeling rather down :/
MP3 player needed charging and I needed to get the xmas songs off of it (seriously - All I want for christmas is not the best of work out tracks) so rather than faff about I have formatted it and am currently watching the lil status bar creep along as it puts stuff back on.
If I can be bothered at the end, I keep meaning actually make a "work out" playlist so I haven't got to skip songs that are too slow but I've been meaning to for about 6 months now :o
Today me, my parents and my brother did this:

HOORAY!!! The garden AND the drive both look about 3 foot wider. How does that work?? The posts are long because my Grandad is making us some trellis to go along the top so that I can grow clematis, roses and other climbing plants up the fence. Dead chuffed. I never thought we'd get all that done in a day!! :D
EDIT
This is how it looked before. It was actually worse than that last weekend when we finally took the two worst panels out. They were at a 45 degree angle into the drive, hehe. Yes the blue string is holding it up :D

Hehe I was trying to work out why you put up smaller fences in front of fences then I saw the 2nd shot. Hell of a difference, looks great.
Went to a fantastic party last night and have spent the day recovering. No children so I spent the morning cleaning and then the rest of the day on the sofa with a book and a blanket, reading and dozing. Bliss! I have some pasta and french bread and I think I'll have some Carte D'or afterwards :D Then....ironing :( I think polices should be allowed to be scruffy!
Fence looks fab Kate. Well done you (and family, of course).
Was going to go out and look at carpet today but after the incident last night I'm still a bit sore, so didn't. Had a bit of a shreadathon involving a pile I sorted out last weekend and a box of stuff I knew was old and could go. Got about half done before the shredder conked out, the rest to follow soon as it'll have cooled down now and I want this batch done tonight.
In emptying the box, I found my long-lost birth certificates (they're now safe, in the place they should have been all along). \o/ Glad I checked everything before shredding. :shocked:
It's complicated :p Drive belongs to next door as do the two nearest garages. We have full access rights though so they have to keep it clear. End garage (open door), plus the piece of land that the supra/corsa are on is ours. Lean to at the back of the garage (can't see it) it ours too. Hope that makes sense ;)
Nice work Kate!! Nice fencing transforms a garden completely :D

Ooh. Forgot to say. My Mam phoned earlier, she's been in hospital most of the day - she's got pneumonia again, that's twice in two years.
She's promised she's going to get the flu jab next year (apparently there's a special one for people who are prone to pneumonia). She's refused it until now as she didn't think she needed it - I think my Dad may have nagged her into it, thankfully.
Hope she gets better soon Stan. :)

She will, she's as tough as old boots - she's the old skool "It's only pneumonia, nothing to worry about" type of person.
Sometimes she needs a "gentle" reminder that she's not a young-un any more :)
Sounds like my Dad! At least it sounds like she'll make sure she has the flu jab next time round. Definitely well worth it if you're prone to something like that.

Today i am freezing my Nads off :bod2: < Me Frozen.
Did have plans today, Jobs to do, deals to be done, motors to look at. I'm going to walk Frank & give the outdoors a test drive before i decide whether i am leaving my house or not today :happy:
I am ok with the Cold, I like crisp mornings but my house can't handle temps below -1c, I bet it's warmer outside than it is in here. I have everything me & Frank need though so i don't mind Plotting up for the day & doing everything via phone or Interweb. Currently in Thermals with my dressing gown as well, I wish large towelling dressing gowns were acceptable outdoors attire, Nothing is as warm & comfy as my Huge towelling dressing gown with next pulled up :cool:
Tempted to pop into town at some point today, but as Malc said it's cold outside, not much snow though. Could do with picking a couple of bits up and making an appointment at the opticians for a delayed checkup. Also have to go to the tip so the garden doesn't too bad when people look through our temporary ghetto trellis fence.
Woke up this morning with a mild hangover (lightweight :o) and have just nipped into town and round to my parents.
Quick bath then I reckon it's off to town again to meet up with the two hardcore drinkers. Don't think I'll be going mad though, want to still have capacity and capability this evening ;D
I've spent a few hours documenting an Irish military parade through Liverpool. It was really nice to see people turn out and cheer for them. They had returned from a tour in Iraq. Lots of photos to sort through. It was freezing and yet sunny clear blue skies. So much for the 60% of snow we were meant to get. Now that would have been a photo. Got to spend the afternoon deleting old work before I can do the new stuff... boooo.
haha :p It was a good test of waterproofyness :D
That's always a good benefit to have. Perhaps you need to start marketing it. ;D
Me, I'm sneezing my head off *achoo*. I've only shifted one big pile of stuff so far but even that is revealing dust bunnies aplenty. Running an air purifier to help remove dislodged dust from the atmosphere.
I think this is the evidence I needed that this will eventually have health benefits for me (beyond my sanity). :)

I was removing the horn (fnar) from our donor Laguna at the scrappies this morning ;D
Didn't make nearly as much progress as I'd have liked, but still made some, so it's not all bad. Primarily due to too many distractions but also because I'm currently facing a problem - because I have so much stuff I currently don't really have good places to put things I want to keep so I'm struggling. I hope I'll eventually get to the point that I've thrown enough stuff out that I can at least use storage boxes. Arguably I'm not being brutal enough chucking stuff out, but I'm sure I'll get there.

Not going nearly as well as I'd hoped, but if I can get a corner of one room cleared I can put stuff from the bedroom in that corner temporarily until I decide what to do with it (a big box of old VHS videos is the biggest problem right now - I want that out the bedroom today if at all possible).

I'd love to be able to get into my loft, so much space up there (because of the design of the property I have an above-average sized loft). Unfortunately I'm scared ****less of either falling through or not being able to get down. If there was someone else here I'd be happier, but there isn't. It'd solve so many of my problems. :'(
As it is, the chances of me watching the videos again is pretty slim, and I have most of them on DVD anyway. Is there really any point in keeping them?
Anyway, I got ****ed off with it all. Half an hour later the video box wasn't in the bedroom anymore. Don't even ask me to go into the lounge at the moment, or to bed, because I can't do either, but I can soon sort that. :)
Aye, getting a decent loft ladder in (I've seen one I like but it's not cheap) and some boards down would certainly help me out lots. The other problem I have with my loft is just how scary hot it gets up there as soon as it gets a decent amount of sun on it.
Grr, that's 4 cuts. Just dug my hoofing great (with ancient batteries) ups out. Hopefully it'll bridge the gaps!
Just hope the batteries are good if it hasn't been used for a while.
No idea but it's keeping my feet warm ;D
No cuts for a while (que biggy).
edit: not just me, seems chelmsford wide.
Could whoever keeps dropping bombs on my house please Cease and Desist. ;D
I think it might be a few hours before I go to bed tonight. Still, I can have Superbowl XLII on in the background. 90% bordeom (tidying) 10% watchable. Should work out well. :)
Still, my long-lost Oyster Card (with credit) has turned up. As has a free bonus £1 coin. :)
No cuts here Nutcase! Smell the smugness!
Meant to phone my Grandma up tonight and ask if she'd had any. Will do tomorrow I guess. :)
Update - I can haz bed. Had to cover up some of the floorspace I've reclaimed, but I think it's worth it. Loungs is still a bomb site. Will have to at least clear enough to get in there I guess. Looks like the bin will be full again, though there's far too much space in the recycling bin - guess I'll have to fix that tomorrow. :)

Got the Busy Bug.
I get this when i get a new Motor, I am charged up ready to go out on the Yard & Spanner/Clag/Paint. Awake at ridiculous times & am ready to go the minute i wake till the minute i drop. I have some favours to do today as well. A few tip runs for me Little Sister & a bit of messing with Jim. Around all that i am going to go the Motor shop to get everything i need & start the jeep.
Plan is to get Chores & shopping done & be back for 1pm, Then it'll be some food a dog walk some Frank attention then out on my drive till it's dark :cool:
Want to go back to bed...or even better yet...I want to go back to PeeBees house!!!
Instead I am throwing the Vixy out and going to work...BOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No cuts here Nutcase! Smell the smugness!
Favouritism that is :p
Just got in from work.
Meh.
Today I'm going to be locked in the attic like an unwanted step child :(
Need to give the archive room an overhaul including putting a new filing cabinet in there, boxing up old files, filing new files, working out if anything can be destroyed yet, etc.
Feel free to text me to check I'm still alive :p

I'm going to be doing compatability testing on a load of kits, yay.
well, time for me to leave for work.
I'm doing traffic. Joy.
*imagines Pebbles gyrating at the motorway cars whilst in uniform*
;D
As it is Shrove Tuesday, this lunchtime me and my boss tottered down to Spitalfields/Brick Lane in search of pancake goodness/crepes but stumbled across...
THE GREAT SPITALFIELDS PANCAKE RACE! :D
One of the teams participating in this race is called 'Kwik Flip' ;D

We acheived our goal and I had a cheese and mushroom crepe (nom! :D)
I hearteth the pancakes!!! :D looking forward to tonight!

PS on another note, Kat was saying that the council have banned the curry restauranteurs from standing outside and shouting their prices - one of the many reasons why the curry meets were entertaining :( boo!
Today I'm going to be locked in the attic like an unwanted step child :(
And I'm out...
Moved 4 filing cabinets, managed to drop the empty one on my foot :o Moved a rainforest worth of paper about. Read records, checked dates, marked up when we can start destroying stuff. Jarred my back stacking the archive boxes. Created lots of recycling. Have stacks of stuff to shred tomorrow. Feel like I've been in the gym all day instead of at work - I don't think a single bit of me doesn't ache, but its the good ache of knowing everything is done for another year :)
Whilst locked up there alone for 8 hours, my mind began to wander and I have come up with a theory...
1. Trees are alive.
2. Paper is made from trees.
3. Paper retains the "treeness" from when it was once a tree (it can do this because of point 1)
4. Part of "treeness" is being *uckin' heavy
Therefore
5. When you are shifting boxes of paper, you are essentially shifting boxes of trees
6. You are therefore allowed to b*itch about how much you ache after doing it all day
(the above is also a demonstration of why I shouldn't be left on my own too long :o ;D )
We just took the Trio for her first walkies! She was AWESOME! Bless her! Bit nervous but heeled well and sat when asked and EVERYTHING!
*is proud*
Picky's just trimmed up too and I finished off so he's looking like a smart boy now!
Bath time in a minute, washing of the hair and then.... AND THEEEEEEEN...
PAN CAKE TIME!
Pan cake, bacon and le maple syrup (bought for an extortionate £3.55 from our local Spar.... darn me for not checking whether we had it)! Pictures will ensue on the fuddage forum... then mebbe a red wine sauce with sausages.
THEN. AND THEEEEEN.... I'm eating all the crisps and chocolate I can find so I can give it up with a fight tomorrow for lent.
AND then... that's it... All done! :D
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
*wibbles and jiggles with joy!*

Wanna come do my house? Rainforest? Check. Records? Check. Dates? Check. Shredding? Check. I even have a filing cabinet, though I don't plan on moving it. :D

Truth :)
6. You are therefore allowed to b*itch about how much you ache after doing it all day
Too bloody right. ;D
(the above is also a demonstration of why I shouldn't be left on my own too long :o ;D )
Your argument seems sound to me. :)
Me - Regained access to the lounge last night. Today, lifted two crates of stuff out of the pile to sort. Hoped they'd be full of magazines that I could just deposit in the recycling bin, but that wasn't to be so they'll take a little longer to sort. Still want to try and do it by Thursday though so may take a half day off or something.
Glad Trio enjoyed her walk and was very good on it :D
I'm doing traffic. Joy.
Roads Policing, surely?
haha pancake runners, ace :) I've just returned from photographing bananas that have been crossbred with lambs.

Shut it Nerdboi! It's traffic here in the 'sex!

That's Thames Valley for you, or maybe just Oxfordshire Thames Valley. :)
Just got in from work again. Meh x2 :(
Think only one more night though.
Brixton at night is strangely quiet!

Man I thought I was pushing it, last email last night was 11:30. First email this morning..... 6:35 :(
Had my haircut this morning, so I now have practically no hair, saw Malc's new motor as I was driving home, very nice in the flesh dude :)
Stayed at home for a bit till the fence people had started with our back fence. They ended up having to start again as there was a lump of concrete that goes all the way to Australia I think. Hopefully should be almost finished when I get home.
Taking 1 of our dogs to the vets tonight as she has been bleeding slightly from her bottom :( hopefully it's nothing serious.

I'm eating noodles and watching bargin hunt in my pjs with my covers.
I'm stressing over my hospital appointment which arrived today when I'd really rather not think about it all. And I've got a review to write that I really cba to do but needs to get done today. :(

Tonight we're off to see some excellent friends we have seen in AGES and have a top evening of laughter and fud.
Tomorrow I'll be up early working on the minty mint getting the brakes sorted before its MOT retest on Monday. In the afternoon we're off to see a play :o I can't remember the name.
Sunday will consist of mostly nail biting when watching the footy in the afternoon.
Night in with friend, vino and takeaway, swimmng tomorrow afternoon, quiet one tomorrow night, no idea what we're doing Sunday yet.

Nowt. Might see if people want to go to cinema on Sunday or something.
Been working both day and evening shifts the last 2 days. Tomorrow I'm up at 6 for a fitness convention (I'm so excited I may wee!) then working again on sunday.
After spending last night and today in Newcastle at my Grandma's building some wardrobes and drawers I'm now home at doing naff all.
Did have some damn nice chips from the chip shop in Dunston though :D
Trying to find a painter/decorator at short notice to give my bedroom what for. Tried one so far, too busy. :(
Edit - after discussion, decided to hold off on getting decorating done until the summer.
Today I got my hair cut, bought a cheap Gamecube and went to the gym for the first time. So now I'm doing sod all and enjoying it :p
The weekend will probably consist of gaming, I haven't actually had a huge deal of time this past week to play games I want to play, been reviewing one for too long instead :/

Have you had a look on SAGE (https://www.employerdatabase.careers.ed.ac.uk/index.cfm?CFID=1675405&CFTOKEN=44963205)?
I've just returned from seeing a half naked girl get chased around by a man with a fish head in bubbles. I'm not sure I'll sleep. I have a feeling like I'm meant to be doing something tomorrow but I have no idea. Sunday is Chinese New Year \o/ Photos at every turn.
Edit: Boat! Theres a boat in town and thats what I'm photographing tomorrow. Its meant to be sunny so hopefully I'll get the photo I want. You can see it here (http://www.wirralcam.org/waterfront.shtml).
