Time to put it to bed?

Monday, August 30th, 2010

For awhile now my updates have been tailing off, with me either waving updates and going for a couple of days/weeks at a time (when given internet access etc). Part of the appeal of the site was that I was doing something new and staying “in touch” with my roots as it were. It’s become [...]

Ready for the off (again)

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Car delivered, but can I drive it?

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

So the car for next week arrived today after we had got back from a spot of wandering about the shops.. thing is it was left on double yellows.. Worse still is the fact that they expected me to drive the car to a suitable parking location.. thing is I’m not insured to drive it [...]

Give it up..

Monday, July 12th, 2010

So I spend the day wondering if I’m going back to work.. and more importantly.. where? Get no real idea and it all ends up being a little surreal to say the least.. Oh well.. Going fishing tomorrow for a couple of days.. Need to get away from everything as I’m starting to get tense
