Operation Birthday Tea End Ex!

Pleased to report the Birthday Tea went really well last night, even though First Little Girl was 20 minutes late, resulting in melted candle wax dripping onto the home made Garfield cake.

I had to rush off to work again unfortunately, leaving FLG and the son in law finishing off the tea that I and the wife had conspired to through the day. Despite the wife getting the first symptoms of this horrible Greek lurgy, she battled on with all the cooking, and I joined in the Teatime battle after getting up, trying to get everything done in time.

The photo attached to this blog shows the end result - with the Garfield cake taking centre stage on the table. Neither I or the wife were hungry as a result of this lurgy, but we bravely ate some food to show willing, if nothing else.

Last night at work went really slow all told, and went through the feeling sick stage again at 4am - and I felt sick for an hour before it started to subside.

Four nights gone - three left, including Friday. That's 84 hours in a week, not including the 9 hours travelling to and from Kings Lynn. Did I hear someone say the average working week is now 42 hours somewhere? Hello?

Still having problems finding part time work by the way. The problem with me is that I don't get the same days off every week - and everyone, it seems, wants conformity. That's the main reason for ebaying and car booting - I've got to make my own job. And, like I said earlier this week, I'm not looking forward to early starts on freezing cold mornings, carrying loads of stock backwards & forwards between The House and the markets - but what must be, will be.

I've already opened a separate bank account for paying in the extra payments to the mortgage every month. I'm really hoping that this new deposit account is going to get a severe hammering over the next 7 years or so with all the deposits I'm hoping to make to get shot of the mortgage. As soon as possible.

Ebay bids now up to ten! The first of the deals times out tomorrow, so I've got to find time from somewhere to carry on sorting out, and uploading more stuff.

I'm definitely asking Santa for a big box of time this year as my main present, so I can take out the occasional couple of hours out of this box when I need to, to make my days longer, so I can get everything done I've got to do!!

Have a good weekend everyone.
