1003.03 G-SHOCK

Missed out on a watch, a nice g-shock that one of the guys at work was selling. Unfortunatly someone else already had first dibs. Story of my life.

1002.28 SOCIAL LIVES

Morticia has taken Rags, our youngest, to a party at a roller skating rink. It's feet up time!

It's sad when your children's social lives are better than your own.

1002.27 HOME FRONT

Getting kids sorted for drama, both off them are members of Kimberworth Youth Theatre and are performing in a play next month.

It's called 'On the Home Front' at Rotherham Arts Centre on 1003.11 and 12 (11-12th March).

I'm a very proud Dad.


Once I've dropped them off maybe I'll get a couple hours to relax so I can get over last week.

1002.26 MAD NIGHT

10:44 - Hmmmm, there's a nasty smell in our building today (fuel/gas), gonna go out incase it explodes.

22:22 - What a mad night! Glad it's done, time to go home. Once again I find myself working past my finish. Will I ever get a flyer? The only bonus is that it's the end of the working week and the end of a 60 hour week.

Roll on the weekend!

1002.22 SCROOGE METER

ScroogeI just got an energy meter for free from my energy provider. It's interesting to see which appliances are energy hungry and which aren't. I find myself watching the numbers trying to get it as low as possible. I guess that's what it's all about.

1002.19 FOURSQUARE

I first checked into Foursquare on 1001.23

Meadowhall Sheffield - Buying a health grill. 10:18 AM


Since then I've been checking in like mad, collecting badges and adding venues. It's really addictive. I guess I need a new button for my website. The only thing that's missing is a decent app for Nokia, for the moment I'm using the mobile website to check in (not as good but still a usable option).

1002.12 MR C'S BIRTHDAY

13:31 - Gonna hoover up. What a rock and roll lifestyle I lead!

Night Out
19:13 - Off out tonight with Mr C for his birthday, looks like we're off down into Rotherham town centre.

Just before I left the house tonight I had a frantic search around for the money I had withdrawn earlier only to find it in my back pocket. What a tosser! The bus journey into town reminded me of latter years as I was crammed in with the great unwashed of Rotherham.

It was a great night out, lots of reminising about old times. I guess that's what birthdays are all about.

We ended up in Snafu (Rotherham's premier rock bar) where there was a live band; "Shrine of the Monkey".


We staggered towards home, Mr C got in a taxi and I meandered across the park before landing back home, sometime around 2am I think.
