It is Sunday morning! Which means I get to pick my son up from his mums and take him to villa park for the community shield!

It was also his birthday last Wednesday so I can give him his presents!

He lives with me and visits his mum some weekends and holidays, I hate not having him with me! This week has been especially bad as it was his birthday!

well, its a bit late cos i'm refering to yesterday

i managed to not run over a gorgeous cavalier king charles puppy near lincoln, which if you'd seen me snaking my wagon & drag (60ft of scania) to a halt was quite an achievement.


then i was having a sneaky slash in a layby & found a four leafed clover....

tonight, i'm about to go on the lash with no kids in tow..... for the first time in years..

18-08-12, 10:05 PM
hmm never replied on this thread, here goes...

Got a call 2 weeks ago from an old firm i worked for, asking if i wanted to return but in a decent position. had a chat and i put in a bid for what i would want money wise (being cheeky naturally).

Heard nothing after lol.... so fast forward 2 weeks they ring again agreed to what i wanted and i start on sept 3rd. I know this isnt that abnormal but the way the construction industry has been going its not as common now to be head hunted, so was a nice suprise to have a decent job land on my lap.

The icing on the cake was, within 2 hours one of the old boys who is still works on there rang me out of the blue to say it was the best news he had heard for a long time and welcomed me back as did a few others. company jungle drums are obviously still in tune lollollol

at 1:00 pm i found someone offering a FREE conservatory, in nottingham, first come, first serve, but they'd put it on a buy it now for 99p... so i did, and that scuppered the listing, then borrowed my brother's trusty L200 & huge trailer & went to get it...
so by 4:30 it was loaded up & we were at the petrol station buying celebratory lo.llies... its now properly dismantled & in my shed at my mum's ready for me to measure up all the bits & work out how best to fit it at home....

99P....99 effing p.....i still can't believe it..lol

so my mrs needed to go into town...

those of you who've paid attention will remember that she has just had a total knee replacement..so she can't drive..

now there is a crappy midi bus that passes our house every hour & goes into town, so she decided to take it.

so 1 adult, 2 kids return for the 1 whole mile to town & back, £9.60.....

she wasn't impressed

when the driver gave her the tickets, she asked him which bit should she sign & send off to swansea

the driver looked at her funny & asked what she meant

so she said, ' well i've just sodding well bought this thing'

i've been chuckling for hours over it

re the cheese bloke... only eating it at his mum's... there is the cause of the problem... he probably kicked off when he was 3 and she covered it in cheese to get him to eat it... like most of the food saddo's on that freaky eaters tv show...


as for the vinegar... some vinegar on lamb, as in the mint sauce is great though

Mowgli, you have got it in one!!!!

He is 32, married with a kid and his now retired mum does all his washing, cleaning, shopping etc! He is the youngest of 3, big gap between him and the middle child. She doesn't do all that for the other 2!!!!

It is unbelievable, I truly don't think he could last more than 2 days without his mum coming round. She even mows the lawn!!!

He is 32, married with a kid and his now retired mum does all his washing, cleaning, shopping etc! He is the youngest of 3, big gap between him and the middle child. She doesn't do all that for the other 2!!!!

It is unbelievable, I truly don't think he could last more than 2 days without his mum coming round. She even mows the lawn!!!

Divorce will be on the cards. I guy i knew was married with a kid, used to get home and go to mums for dinner and a shower, then go home.. Very odd! Marriage lasted 6months maybe. Not clue why she didn't see it before.

After about 3 years, most of that time spent on axle stands looking very sorry for itself and not being fixed, my Nova finally has an MOT! With no advisaries either, not that I really should have been worried as everything on it is as new now. Needs a bloody good wash though! I haven't driven a Nova in all that time, I'd near enough forgotten what they were like, massive difference between it and my Celcia for instance, refined as that may be it doesn't put a big smile on my face!

Its a career that I would recommend to anyone mind! £20k a year utter minimum, £30k is about average, £40k if you wanna put the overtime hours in and well over £55k if you go self employed working all around the UK! A hell of a lot more if you work world wide.
