Well I'm starting to get on the grumpy side of pissed off now.
Last night was the first Friday in the best part of a few years that Keith and I have been apart. The reason? I had to be in London because the builder employed by the landord's agents arranged to come round by 9am today to finish fixing my ceiling. Keith couldn't stay because he's taking Sam and some of his friends out to a gig tonight and they stayed over last night and he had to be there. Personally, I think it has more to do with his iPhone being delivered but we'll leave it at that!
So, I am getting grumpy because I didn't get to spend last night with Keith AND because it is now gone 10am and the sodding builder hasn't arrived and I can't get hold of him on the phone.
All I can say is he'd better be bloody well driving and not have forgotten this job and pissed off for the long weekend!!
So anyway, the weather is shitty, the kids and I are stuck indoors waiting for the elusive builder so we can't go out anywhere. I've run out of gluten-free breakfasty stuff so there's nothing for me to eat (and I am hungry!) and to top it off, I won't get to see Keith til about 11pm at the earliest, so no point in me making any effort to leave London until tonight
Grumble, grumble, grumble, grraaaaaaaaarrrrrrrr!

Springstival Break
That's the new official term for Easter, gratuitously and unashamedly stolen from KT!
Had a fab four-day break. Friday was busy. Spent the day hoiking Aaron's stuff over from Nick's to mine and then having a massive sort-out / chuck-out and tidy up followed by yummy baked salmon dinner then earlyish night.
Saturday morning KT, me and the small ginger one drove down to Bexhill-on-Sea to visit Nan. It was lovely to spend some time with her. I haven't seen her since boxing day. We had lunch then spent a couple of hours strolling on the beach-front as it turned out to be a sunny rain-free day. Dinner at a local fish n chip restaurant where they do the best grilled plaice. Then home to mine in London.
Sunday morning was another earlyish start and this time KT, me and the two ginger monsters headed off on the train to Wimbledon to see KT's dad, his wife Stephanie and her two children, Ned and Joy. It was lovely to see them all and give them their Christmas prezzies (yes, it has taken that long to arrange a meet up!) We had a lovely roast beef lunch followed by a dessert of cake (even gluten-free one for me!), all home-made as Stephanie is a baking whizz, meringues, fruit salad, yoghurt and cream. It was a delicious feast and we were barely able to move afterwards! We took our time strolling back to the station to catch the train to mine, then packed up, jumped in the car, dropped the boy at Mum's the KT, me and the small ginger one headed off to SWF.
Today has been the only lazy day of the Springstival break. small lie-in (til 9.30) sodding typical really but we were both wide awake! KT made a lovely cooked breakfast then we pottered off to ASDA for some essentials before picking Sam up from his friends then parking ourselves in front of the box to watch The Story of Anvil, followed by a few interesting but upsetting documentaries on the Nazis and WW2.
The small ginger one and I eventually headed back to mine this evening for a relaxed night of doing bugger all!

Flats, Salmon and Scanning Frenzy
Insanely busy day at work today, which included supporting a client to view potential flats to move into. We came out from viewing the final flat to find that the car had developed a flat of its own! I have a compressor which runs from the cigarette lighter... only snag, the cigarette lighter doesn't work! Damn!
Thankfully someone at the flats I was viewing was kind enough to park alongside me and let me use their cigarette lighter to power the thing and reinflate my tyre for long enough to get the client back to where I had collected them from!
Panic over, I had to search for a garage to do the job properly before heading off to collect Gemima from after-school club then going to pick Keith up from the station.
Quick trip to ASDA for stationery and bad stuff. Posh dinner of baked salmon, new potatoes and green food followed by ice lollies!
And then for the scanning frenzy. Its been somewhat overdue but I have made some small headway into scanning in the small mountain of paperwork which has built up over the course of my two-year squabble with Bastardcard. Two hours of solid scanning and I am about 1/4 way throught he correspondence folder... then onto the statements and then the stuff that they sent in response to a subject access request, which does not contain any signed documents from me asking for the sodding balance transfer they made - no fucking shit! It doesn't exist!

And All Change Again!
Yeah, OK, so I just can't do lots of colour.
That didn't even last a day!
So I've gone for a little bit updated on the old look rather than total overhaul.
Maybe I should remember to blog more frequently too!!

New Look!!
OK, so as if the last overhaul wasn't enough, I decided I was utterly bored with it and that it needed a complete new look...
... so here it is, replete with new URL!
Still not sure about it but maybe it'll grow on me!
