working at it slowly

Its a little late for Kingfishers is it not?   I see them regularly along the canal down here which is nice

I have swam lots and I am now Hank Marvin, sadly I am at w*rk so cant stuff my face just yet

Afternoonington each.

I have to vote too.  Absolutely no info from the candidates.  It's all so half ar53d.  They have to pay a £5000 deposit and don't even get a mailshot for their money.  I fancied standing myself, but not at that price.  I guess I'll vote along tribal lines.

The car is having 2 new tyres and a new battery in addition to the service and MOT.

Ouch, I hear you say.  Looks like HL may get 2 new tyres and a battery for Christmas.

Noggs, just so you know it all kicks off at 8:30 this evening, which is earlier than normal because of last evenings football.

Happy to help, I know how you'd hate to miss it

I have had a beer  infact two  and on a school night  and I haven't run all week.....double

Only two more steels to go in !!

I have had a rather large tea .. I was very hungry!

I'm a bit cross about this election too (apart from the fact we got a child-free day at school and were able to get things sorted towards our upcoming RE inspection!), I don't want to vote for people I know nothing about and I don't really understand the issues. What next - will people who know nothing expect to have a say in running education????

oh, hang on ...

go and look for your own photo of Gove, if you haven't had your tea

I agree the police election is really annoying.  I thought policing was crime fighting NOT politics, so why should it matter if the person in charge is Labour, Con or Lib - isnt the target to fight crime????

Me and Vicks are having a close relationship 

Spence...............an hour and half of Jungle tonight

I spent £16 in the food store .. I may have earnt that since I sat down this afternoon

2 hrs and I can go home

Now, I never did that!

Never first in at 7:55 !?

Morning

Children In Need, that'll get Noggs started

(((((WIN))))

Morning

((((((((((Amandax and family))))))))) You really are having a hard time of it aren't you.

((((((((WIN))))))) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Indeed Spence - Children in Need - you can hear Noggy and Sluggy groaning from here! I am w*rking from home - I am not wearing pyjamas for chariy - I thought I'd wear proper clothes for a change 

Last night I went out - book club with a folk night attached - Tiddow and O'Hooley. It made me think of Daffers. I had to leave before they finished - it was a school night and they didn't even start till after 9.

Happy Friday one and all

Morning each and well done to jnr, Amanda.

I always look forward to Children in Need.  

I like being held up in traffic whilst the local trumptons collect money at the traffic  lights.  I enjoy people sitting in baths of beans and the sight of Terry Wogan massaging his own ego really does it for me.

The thought that such frolics take over an entire, taxpayer funded TV channel is neither here nor there, I'll read a book.

A day at fave customers today, loads to do.

Later

Morning all and loads of (((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))) for those in need

Talking of in need please excuse the old cynic but I can't get my head round some of the needy overseas.

India
 India’s Defence Budget 2012-13
Byline: Laxman Kumar Behera / New Delhi
The Union Budget 2012-13, presented to the Indian Parliament in March 2012, has allocated US $40.3 billion for the Defence Services that include the three armed forces (Army, Navy and Air Force), the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Ordnance Factories. The allocation - which constitutes India’s official defence budget - is an increase of 17.6 per cent over the previous amount.

Uk aid to India  $300 million per year and just can't help thinking  why ??

Oops having a soap box morning must be time for more coffee

May not be PC Westie but I couldn't agree more

The concept of taking with one hand whilst spending far more of your "own" money however is something that also starts at the individual level in most countries..........living in a socio-economically deprived area etc etc with a silly number of people on benefits left, right and centre it never ceases to amaze me how their kids have up to date blackberrries and other techno whizz stuff but no school trousers (less than £10!!)

Oh dear ..........rant attack snuck up on me

*carefully hands soap box back to Westie*

India aid will be phased out by 2015 but charities say that will "hurt" the poor, Ok India don't buy a few rockets and warheads .
I must be having one of those days today, where is Noggy when you need him now will some one take this soap box off me please.

Another 5 miles done and dusted all be it very slow but none stop again and no walking.

morning all

((((Amandax)))

I'll keep off the soap box I think

but ladies at work are wearing jim-jams for children in need - its a bit of fun!

fil still with us, in fact he was sitting up and drinking coffee yesterday, Mr FF is finding this really hard - talking about taking him home and nursing him himself! I hate seeing him so low. work is cheery so its a nice distraction but I'm on holiday next week so can at least be a bit more supportive
