Think of it more as a warning shot across the bows, matey. And yes, I know, people in glass houses etc....

BG, I showed my tax return to a lovely friend. He pointed out a few things I'd overlooked and now I'm due a rebate twice the size of the one I'd achieved on my own. Next year I'm anticipating a miniscule bill (probably my own fault for gift-aiding some charity stuff - they'll reclaim it). But the weight off my mind was such that I have spent the day in p-js and been mostly tidying up my office and doing lots of filing. And absolutely no housework whatsoever

No housework whatsoever sounds good to me, Sad!

KJ, glad you feel better. Take it steady, won't you?

Nothing to report here, except that routine is busy! If anything exciting happens I'll let you know...

Hugs!

If I waited til something exciting happened I would never post again Hence you have to suffer my endless drivel *sighs*

Here we are in "back to school" mode - YoungPlum starts year 7 next week, so we've been buying her books and stationery for the year. Her shoes still fit which is a relief but bearing in mind that I know she has being growing again over the summer holidays, I'm dreading her trying on her uniform, I don't want to have to buy a whole load just for her last year at primary school. That's tonights little job when I get home from work.

I had a horrible day at work yesterday, we have a new lady working with us a few hours a week, she works in other parts of the store on other days and she is a right miserable bag. For the last couple of weeks, I've tried being friendly and nice but she just ignores me - so poo her! She's like a Dementor sucking all the happiness from people and just leaving miserable shells behind.... that was me by the end of the day yesterday, a miserable shell.... oh woe! Fortunately, today she's not with us so it almost makes going to work a pleasure ..... but not quite

KJ - glad to read you are feeling better, although I'm shamed to admit, I had missed reading that you were poorly.

*waves* to Amica - good to see you back again!

Hasn't she been fascinating to watch? My lot would all diagnose her as being on the autism spectrum in a heartbeat - I daren't go and look at the CBB forum and get embroiled in any speculation but it wouldn't half explain some of her issues, bless her. That stuff when Luisa had to fail the task was awesome

Pear Cider time!

I had a few days in Athens earlier this week, 16 degrees C, did a bit of sightseeing (it was work), had a couple of nice meals and drank something very nice that tasted like paint stripper going down but left you mucho relaxo afterwards.

Retsina?

Here, well, it's the weekend. Phew. I'm off gallivanting tonight and again tomorrow and have just realised this has left very little time for anything constructive. I'm trying to care, and failing

Sad's probably right.

I'm supposed to be heading back east soon - minus 12 and, according to a friend, feels much colder.

But I might not go. I'm in a malaise, or so I informed Batman just now.

<--- what is that? How would one use it in a sentence??

I managed to lock myelf out again today. When I got back, nobody was home, but luckily I know where my tenants work, so I popped into the shop in town where one of them works and got the front door key from him. I'm not paying £100+ for a locksmith.

In other news. I've set up an access control list for my hub/router, so only trusted users can access wireless internet via my broadband connection, which is an additional level of security on top of WPA/WPA2.

It never rains, but it bloody pours.

The central heating didn't come on this evening. This I think was due to a thunderstorm earlier, so I power cycled the timer and it seems to be working now.

The wireless connectivity on my router went pecks up, so I had to reset that.

At least I haven't locked myself out of the house today. Here's hoping. Not.

Sounds like you're having an eventful time jra!

Nothing going on here on the other hand - Batman's still in bed, it's peeing down outside, and I'm away all next week so trying to get on top of stuff... which so far adds up to chucking some bleach down the loo. Can do better...

I can't believe it's nearly a week since I posted!! Colour me neglectful.

Anyhoo - batty, life's to short. If no-one else is going to see it, sod it is my motto!

Having said that I'm in blue ar$ed fly mode today as it's Melony's birfadee on Thursday (she'll be SIX, ffs, what happened there???) so there's stuff to get ready for that and then no time to fit in little jobs during the week as a result.
So I've packed herself and Mr M off to town and Maccy D's while I scrub round and tidy up. Quite nice to have the house to myself, though!

I'm going to watch this after recommendations here. I've just watched Dr. Dolittle.

KJ wins the internets again

I'm told Despicable Me is a must-see but I still haven't.

I spent the weekend getting drunk with a couple of weirdos I originally met online (no, none of you Grumpy lot, sadly) and feel that this is something I should probably do more of. Life's way too boring.

I'm knackered though...
