I'm back after a year and a half

I've decided that I might give blogging another go seeing as I can now do it from my Google phone (TMobile G1).

If there are more posts after this one then you'll know I stuck at it.

We're in and settled at last

Well, after a nightmare 3 weeks with Deb living at her Mom's and me living with Stu and Jen at there old house for 2 weeks and then their new house for 1 week, we finally moved into our new house and have been in for about a month. Its fantastic having a big house although it has to be said we've not really started to take advantage of the extra space until this last week. Deb has got her room mostly sorted. Its kinda like a mini library. My games room has to be a dining room as well but it'll be a while before we buy a dining table especially as I've just bought a new TV and a PS3. The PS3 seems pretty damn good its has to be said.

Ian and Sharon got married a couple of weeks ago on our 7th wedding anniversary at the same place we got married at. It was a really good day and they are currently on their honeymoon in Thailand. The stag do in Poland was good fun as well.

It was Dave and Jackie's wedding yesterday. That was a good do. They looked really happy.

Oh yeh, Deb's 30th birthday party went down a storm. It was a really good night. She had such a good time.

Right, I'm off to snub my new PS3 and play Gears ;-)

House moving nightmare

We've had a hectic couple of days! The people buying our house were real twats yesterday and said that if they couldn't move in to our house by this Friday or the following Monday at the latest then they were going to pull out of the sale. We didn't want to lose the sale so everything was officially signed, sealed and delivered on it yesterday and we need to be out by lunch time on Friday.

The people we're buying from have still to find somewhere to rent so on Friday I'll be moving into Stu and Jen's with the dog and budgies and Deb will be moving into her Mom's. All our stuff is going to be stored in various people's garages and things like that. Its a complete nightmare!

On top of that, its Deb's big birthday party tonight so we're trying to sort the stuff out for that and we were meant to be having 2 bands but the bassist from one has hurt his shoulder and can't go. We've arranged to do karaoke instead which is always funny at least.

Aaaagh!

Its been ages since I blogged

Been ages since I've posted cos I've been really busy.

We went on holiday at the beginning of May to the lakes with Stu, Jen, Gill and the dogs which was a good break.

I've had a new guy start working for me as soon as I got back from the Lakes and I've been spending lots of time getting him started meaning I've been working long days to fit in my actual work.

I've also been organizing Deb's 30th birthday party which is on Saturday (its her birthday today).

Busy, busy, busy and I'm in work now doing this so that's why its short and to the point.

Hopefully I'll start blogging more regularly from again now.

Blogging from my Wii

This is a blog post from my Wii just cos I can. Pain in the ass without a real keyboard! Don't think I'll do this again.

As an aside, I changed my 360 gamertag from kpr420 to bondington the other day.

Long time, no blog

Been a while since I last wrote through a combination of being busy and sheer laziness. Mainly laziness!

Things are finally moving on the house front. We've had the survey done on Lea Road and a few things have come up but nothing really major. We should hopefully be meeting with the current owners over the weekend to negotiate who pays for some of the work that needs doing and discuss whether it might be possible for them to move out slightly early so we can get work done before we move in.

We go away on holiday to Kings Meaburn in Penrith with Stu, Jen, Gill and the dogs for a week on May 5th. On one hand I'm looking forward to the break and on the other I'm think "oh shit, that's one less week to sort stuff for moving". Should be fun though. Me and Stu are gonna take the 360 and cabbage in front of that a fair bit ;-)

People can be such wankers

I had to tell some high up guy at work off earlier in the week for giving out his username and password for a system to someone. It wasn't even anyone internal. He's a salesman and he replied with some crap about how I've got no idea and I should start trying to help him sell stuff rather than fucking around doing nothing all day and generally making his job harder.

It took all my will power to simply show the email to HR rather than go talk to him cos I reckon I might have ended up taking a swipe at him cos I was that angry. They've had a bit of word with him and will have a more formal word on Monday. I told them that I don't want to do anything really formal where he gets a warning or something but I said to make sure he stays well clear of me for a few weeks so that I don't have the opportunity to lose my rag while its still fresh.

I ended up taking yesterday off work cos I was still so pissed off and couldn't concentrate and typically he called me up to apologise. I just let him talk and then said "Whatever, I'm off work today" and hung up. I then sent HR a text reiterating that he needs to be kept away for now. What a twat!
