...All About Me

Nearly There

It is now only eight more days until I leave my current employment after over 29 years. I am both sad and excited, sad because I have been here so long that it will be like leaving a family that I have grown up with and excited by the challenges facing me in my new job.

I am lucky enough that I will be generously compensated for my redundancy and that my new salary, although less than I currently earn, is still very good but I know that others are not as fortunate despite the hard efforts that they make.

So I count my blessings

Its been a while ......

............since I've been here.

When I first discovered the world of blogging and good old 20Six I just couldn't get enough. Everyday I would log on, write some stuff, and delve into some other peoples rather more interesting lives.

It was very addictive and in the end very distracting. But now a long time has passed and I thought I'd pop in again to see what is going on.

For m own part I am about to be made redundant but its not all bad as I have been with the company nearly 30 years so will be well compensated. Also I have another job to go to so I consider myself very lucky.

I am going to check my old links now to see if any of the old crew are still about and do some catching up.

Anyway nice to be back.

I haven't been here for a while, I got bored, looks like many others that I used to know have as well.

Life is good for me, still working at the same place, 27 years now, still not smoking, nearly 3 years.

I'm going to have a delve through the latest blogs now to see whats happening out there and try and catch up with people.

Back Soon

Waffle

I haven't really anything to say but work has hit a quiet patch. I don't think I have mentoned our latest investmnet, a new front door,fitted just before Christmas in about 4 hours. This was not just the door (composite wood) but the surronding frame (in uPvc) and adjacent window (double glased) all for under £1400. The old one was pretty tatty and unsecure even after many repaints and refixes.

Next big job will be an extension to the kitchen if we ever get round to it.

Might pop into Kingston Saturday for a bit of shopping for the holiday, can't believe it is only a couple of months away.

Time to go now

Another Year

Happy new year to you all, I hope everyone is keeping well.

I have been pretty poor at keeping this blog upto date. Work is very busy and once I get home I just crash.

We have just booked a little trip TO DISNEY WORLD, and go in March so not much time to save. I know the boy will love it. Only thing that worries me is that it is so early in the year to be taking a holiday. I like to go in the middle of the year it just feels right. Oh well just have to have another one I suppose.

For Christmas I received a TomTom so I have been trying all sorts of different routes to work, fastest, shortest, avioiding toll roads the only one it doesn't do is one most likely to get you there stress free.

What presents did you lot get , anything that you didn't want.

Checking In

It's been three weeks since I returned from a lovely holiday in Capo Vaticano,Calabria, Italy. The sun shone, the sea was as clear as glass and fantastic time was had by all. But alas it is now but a distant memory and my days are once again filled with the neccessary obligations of work so that I can aqquire the next small fortune to all me to leave these shores once more.

In the meantime what do we have to look forward to in the coming months, Halloween, Guy Fawkes night and Christmas. For the first time since I can remember we have been invited to a Halloween party, this will mean dressing up no doubt probably go as a pumpkin as I cannot seem to stop eating. Still haven't decided what we are doing for xmas it may be that everyone comes to us which is pretty scary as the most I have ever cooked for is 6 and thatwas a chicken and a few spuds.


How is everyone, all keeping well I hope, I have been catching up with those of you I can find.


Well thats me for this evening catch you all later.

Long Time No Say

I must apologise for my slackness, I have had nothing to say of late, not that what I do say is really of any importance. Another birthday tomorrow and I shall be the grand old age of 42 and this year I will be getting one of these . I am looking forward to lots of lovely coffee.

Next Tuesday sees us disappearing off to Italy for 14 lovely days of sun, sea, pasta, pizza and ice cream.

I hope everyone is enjoying this great weather, I don't want to hear anyone complaining.


Well I am off to scoff some chocolate

I'm Working On It or The Doh Vinci Code

Well it's been a little while, new job, pretty busy, excuses, excuses I hear you say. And, in a way, your right. Yes I am in a new job, it's going well thanks, which is pretty busy but I have also been tampering with HTML. So what you cry we live and breathe the very source(code) but for me it is something new. I have manged to change a couple of things, renamed "Links" to "My Faves" and managed to add a border somehow. So now I know how to view the code I am having a play so prepare to be amazed in the near future.

So how is everyone out there all getting to grips with the new 20six. If you are not back on "My Faves" do not worry I will be building up my little collection.

I can't go without mentioning the football, I couldn't watch the last 30 minutes. I know they won but it is the manner with which they do it. No disrespect to T&T but we should have been extemely comfortable in the game but didn't seem to have a clue how to open them up and score. I just hope that they can lift there game now.

Well that's me for tonight back soon

Free To Roam

I don't know whats going on here but anyway, I have at last manged to get my wireless connection to work thanks to the guys & girls at Techguy.Org. It would appear that it as the cordless phones that were causing the problem and the solution was to change the channel used by the router. . Hooray

Is everyone else have the smae problems with there blog. I did create a couple of posts the other day but they disappeared into thin air. I have sent acouple of emails to th ehelp team but haven't heard anything yet, assume they are quite busy. Also I do not seemd to be allowed to insert links to websites any ideas ?

More later

Last Day - Again


Well here I am again another last day, start the new job on Monady*. Last night was spent here. drinking the night away. Feeling a bit blarghhhh this morning.

This weekend wll be the first without any decorating so I am just going take it easy. Will probably go into Kingston and do a bit of shopping. I am replacing my stereo, the one we have is good but is full size a consists of 5 separate units which used to sit in its own cabinet. We now want something smaller just a CD player and a radio so I will be looking at someof the Micro systems that are around (Any suggestions welcome).

Saturday night will be spent drinking with friends which we haven't done for a while so it will be good to catch up and Sunday I will be going to my brothers for a birthday tea for my niece.

At sometime over the weekend I need to look at the car as it is losing water, hopefully it will just be a hose thats leaking and won't end up costing a fortune to repair.

Well, I suppose I 'd better start clearing my desk which won't take long as I hot desk so my office is in my rucksack.

Hope you all have a good weekend.

Funman


* It won't actually be a Monaday as I am looking forward to the new role
