Gents Club Beer Session.....

Ok so its that time again when the Gents Club gets to go out and have drinks...

The Gents Club comprises of the suspects below.....

 Simon & Kev

 Me

 Joe

The Gents Club was established in 2008 by Kev, Jo & Simon... there are 2 new members myself and Rose.  Now I bet you are thinking its a Gents Club.... Well Rose is shall we say a honorary Gent. ha ha.

This time we started in the Old Fishmarket, which was packed due to the England V Ireland rugby game.  England lost so I was a little upset.  We then watched some football and if you know me you will know I don't like football really.  But it was still nice to get out with the lads!!  Then we went on to O'neils which was quality... I do enjoy it in there!  Red Guinness! Yummy...  The countdown to my birthday has started.....

 This was taken @ 23:22 27/02/2010

Then we went on to Greenhouse, which has not changed even since the fire.  Then my memory goes kinda blank, I know we went to BSB as I have been caught in photos and there is a BSB stamp on the back of my hand.  I also know I got a burger as I brought it up the early hours of this morning... Ooooppps. 

I actually did forget to post my blog yesterday, which really was not exciting anyway so does not really matter.  I did however watch Footloose, which is an awesome film!

Well its now Sunday afternoon, I have tomorrow off as I have to go to the Drs.  I am kinda nervous and worried what she will say.  I also have to get some more meds, its costing me a small fortune!  I am watching My Little Eye as I am writing my blog, not a very good film.  Its a cross between Blair Witch and Big Brother, I personally think its a waste of money.  Finally I am cooking Cat a lovely Sunday lunch just to show her I love her and appreciate all she does for me and Noah.

Talking of Noah he is changing everyday, I can't quite believe it.  What I do love about being a dad is the unconditional love Noah has for me.... I just hope I never let him down.

It is 16 days 7 hours and 6 minutes to my birthday.... Cant wait!

 

Anyway I may post again later.

Ciao

Oh How I Love Thee

Yes you got it right I LOVE THE NEW APPLE MOUSE it officially is the daddy and I will be getting it!

Work was pretty pants today, Rich H got his strop on but that was sorted!  I think he realised he was being a cock even though I was fooling about.  Holly S got upset again, all because of Ben.... What a knob!  She has also got a job with Easy Jet.... WTF.... move from Insurance to Easy Jet...

I was left on my own from 12:45pm until 5:30pm.... why don't I just bend over for them.....

Had a lovely Chicken Casserole dinner that Cat made.... Yummy.  I did however get a phonecall on the way home asking if the Chicken was ok, as it smelt sweet..... Yes dear it is fine!

Beers tomorrow night, not many just enough to get me asleep....  5:30pm n the Fish Market and watch either Football or Rugby.  Should be fun!

Noah is being a pain but hey he is not even 1 yet and has lots of growing up to do.  He is still gorgeous and makes me so happy.

Anyway off to watch Deja Vu now, only a wee it of it.

Ciao

Boom Chicka Wah Wah

Hmmm today has been interesting in many ways.  One of them was because Catherine found some more info about how we can get the Landlord to do shizzle and how he is not doing his duties.  Brilliant!!!

We need to get something done as this is getting beyond a joke, £550.00 pcm for what?? hmmmm

Also work was ok, found out the Kelly H is a bitch (I knew that already really).  Most of us are looking to leave.  Holly S got upset due to her backlog (that sounds painful) ha ha. Ummm thats about it!

I cooked Thai Green Curry tonight, the veggie option, lovely..... I could eat it and other veggie meals more often!  That might be a plan!  Sorry Catherine...

Casual dress tomorrow, which will be cool.... not sure what i am wearing but hopefully I can find something that fits!  My weight is going up and down so not sure what does and what doesn't.

Not long now until my birthday, really kinda not looking forward to it.

Well apart from that my day as been pretty uneventful...

Just in case any of you are interested here is a link for cheap pizza from PIZZA HUT.


Ciao

Me + Work / 5 / 7 = Stress

What a day. 

Really can't start explaining the situation.   I will try.

It is sometimes fun, and sometimes really bad, mostly because its busy but also because of the lack of support.  The systems are slow and we can't do anything faster as they just freeze, not a good business plan.  I also have the most awkward customers in the world calling up telling me I dont know how much their car is worth..... Well actually I do, and its not much more than 20p ha ha....  The most recent guy has Ford Freda aka Mazda Bongo, the Ford is less popular as its Ford and the Japs think they are a joke.  However, the Ford is also a Mazda Bongo, which Is all the rave in Japan etc.  So one is worth more than the other.  See Below -

 

 

 

Long story short I was right!  We had an independent engineer value it to stop the complaint and I was right!

Went to Tescos tonight, busy and spent too much, but hey we have to eat.  Noah is being a gem and I think we are so far very lucky to have a good child.  Only 2 more days of work then out on the piss..... Well only a few as I need to keep some money back due to my birthday trip to London. 

There will be a awesome blog for that in March! 

Anyway, I am off to bed as I really do need my beauty sleep!

Ciao

To be paid or not to be paid...... That is the question...

Payday for me is normally 23rd of every month, however I was not paid today.  Not a problem as I had some money left over, but it was funny to see all those people assuming we have been paid.

Work was quite enjoyable today, yes I said ENJOYABLE ha ha.  However tomorrow Jaimie and the girls are back on the bank of desks so its gonna be noisy and busy.  I had this guy today with a Range Rover 90 worth most likely £4-£5k, the engineer valued it at £1750.00 ha ha, the fella was not impressed and then decided to give me grief for the next 20 minutes.  I was polite and calm and basically stated if you want a higher offer, send in some evidence.  Next thing I know he was telling me he wanted it back, I happily said NO as its a Cat B write off, no chance in hell its going back on the road.  He was still not pleased.  He kept saying I own it etc etc, end of day Mr. Man, its Illegal (ish) ha ha.

Had a Beef Baguette with lettuce and cucumber again for lunch, tasty but didn't rock my socks off!  However the 2 packets of Monster Munch were magnificent!!

I'm getting fat again!! Time to stay away from the munchies!

Ok well that is all for my day really, apart from not getting listened too at home, well I mean my wisdom being disregarded....

Spanish Omelet for dinner, was very nice, again Catherine did well making it.  This might mean Cat starts making other meals and trying new things!!! Fingers crossed.

Anyway its 10pm, I'm tired and will getting my bum to bed asap.  Might even read a book.... Yes I can read.

Ciao

Short & Sweet......

That's how I like them.... ha ha (do I sound like a perv?)

First day on a 9:30 5:30, it wasn't as bad as I first thought, KP was not expecting me not to be in at 9am.... Oh how he is mistaken.

Work was pants as usual but looking about for a career move, there are a few going and fingers crossed I'm in the running.

Had spaghetti Bolognaise, which was lovely.  I am a wee bit tired, but should be ok for bed in a few hrs.

It was nice to leave my house this morning at 8am and not feel knackered.  Then again its also nice to be home before dark.

I get paid tomorrow and first things first I need to give Diane some cash for dropping me in.  She has saved my bacon....  Speaking of bacon I'm hungry!

I spent my last £3.40 on lunch today and had a beef and horseradish baguette with lettuce and cucumber... mmm and obviously I had to have it with a packet of BEEF Monster Munch and can of Coke!  I am such a fatty!

Finally Catherine sent me this picture today of Noah.... Bless his little cotton socks!

Catch you all tomorrow

Ciao

Sunday = Sunday Lunch!

Well today was relaxing but also hard work.  Catherine was her usual chirpy, bite your head off self, shame really because when she is nice she is awesome.

We went to a wedding fair mainly for Cat and actually has had shit for doing stuff for her...It was at Cadbury House (nothing to do with chocolate).  It was very nice there but I didn't enjoy it as it brought back memories of my FAILED last marriage, but I don't think Cat realised that.

What didn't help is Cat being a pain, because I went for her and want her to be happy and I just wanted t say if you want to get married then don't treat me like a prick! I do all I can for her and still get grief, I do think we are a lot alike though... My ex girlfriend Lynseys birthday was in Feb and that was a lot of arguments apart from that things were ok. But that is what ended everything!!

I love Cat loads and just want her to realise that!

When we were at Cadbury House which I thought was lovely we saw this -

Do you think its real??????

Also I forgot to post these yesterday, my little man! ha ha.

I didn't take my notebook yesterday so forgot a few things like seeing my nephew and how much he has changed... -

 

 

With Becky my sis in law!

Anyway I have spent enough time on the comp, time for a drink and chill before bed.

Ciao

I love Saturday......

My fave day ever!

Ok so today I got up got ready, helped get Noah ready and headed into Bristol to see the parents and pick up Mr. Wilcox....  Long time since I have seen him but he has not changed, still Welsh! ha ha

We then went to my parents where I saw my nephew for the first time in what seems like months........ oh hang on its been 3 months.

We then went to ASDA Cribbs and finally Tesco home, and got Noah this hat -

Doesn't he look awesome! ha ha

Then we went for coffee then home.  Take Me Out was on and it was good, shame some of the birds did not get dates..... Now its time to settle down and watch a movie, just not sure which one to go for!

Ciao

Funky Friday

Thank god this day has finally come around!  I am loving that it is Friday and I get to spend the time with the family, might go for a walk and take Noah to the park!  He will love it.... or hate it ha ha!

Work was pants today but hey at least it was quiet!

Tonight for dinner we have the fantastic Sausage and Chips, yummy.  It's basic but hey its food.  I was thinking today I must be the only person in the world who hasn't seen any of the Godfather Trilogy.... What a fool, but luckily I have lovely friends who have lent me the DVDs....

Not much on the google box tonight so may try and get a early night, may watch a film in bed... That would be nice.

Oh also recently I saw these Mr Men pictures whilst looking for some for Noah.....

 

Truly funny!

Anyway I am off to finish cooking dinner.

Ciao

What is the problem......

With lots of things mainly, work..... I work my ass off for what? FUCK ALL..... I take crap all day and still strive to do my best and then my twatty manager gives me crap.  Why doesn't everyone just grow up and get along, you are at work most of your life so you need to get used to doing it.

Hopefully a new job will be on the horizon as I cannot bare to work in the same office as some of wankers there!!  There are however some really nice people there, just a shame they sit too far away.  I have to sit next to this happy sole ha ha

Anyway after a few hiccups i finished at 4:10pm...... Home by 5pm.  I'm on lates next week but thats ok as i get to have a bit of a lye in!!

Well I have Chiken Kiev tonight with some Pasta and by golly gosh I am starving!

Anyway time to spend some time with my little one.... So happy to have a gorgeous boy.

Ciao

Midweek Madness

Hows it going?????

Today was a reasonably good day, I got up (late) was ready by 6:50am and meeting Diane at 6:55am.  Got into work at 7:35am and started work.  Had lots to do so cracked on with it.  Work was kinda busy but overall not that bad.....

I was not stressed that much today which makes a change possibly because im getting earlier nights....

Got home about 5pm, which was nice... It means I get to spend time with Cat and Noah.  However, I decided to write a letter to the landlord and I must say its good!!!! ha ha.....

Cat went up Tescos today and spent money..... ouch!  We still have bills to pay.... Anyway its time to get off the iMac and chillax with my gorgeous family.

Ciao

Total Waste Of Time

The company I work for is a waste of time and space!!  We were so busy today that I actually didn't manage to pick up any claims, why because they thought rather than getting staff they just take one away.

I had to write this out today in my book as I was so pissed off.

Catherine and I looked a a house 2 doors down from where we are now, it was lovely!  exactly the same as what were in but upgraded and newer.  Problem is however, it will cost in excess of £1000.00 to move in and to be honest I don't think is worth it.

Anyway, we will stay where we are and try and save the pennies so we can move out of this dump.  I can't live here and certainly can't let Catherine and Noah either.

Noah has been a terror tonight, but he has made me laugh so much..... Catherine was choking and coughing and Noah was in fits of laughter.... Brilliant.... That's my boy ha ha.

On that note im off!

Ciao

P.s.  Hope those of you who read this recently enjoyed..... Leave me some comments. 

Ok Now For Today 15th Feb 2010....

I was up early for work and it was not a struggle, weird...  I forgot to take my tablets again, which is a load of shizzle.  I had to take them when I got home.

Work was busy and I actually don't seem to get anything done, always problems.  I finished at 4pm so it was worth it, flew home and tried to chill do my blog etc.  Catherine made Spag Bol which was tasty and filling, she is getting better at this cooking malarky!

I got a letter from the Drs. today about booking an appointment, something to do with Ferritin.  If you have read any other blogs its because of the high iron levels in my body.  I have found out a few things via Wikipedia, unsure what is right and what is wrong but its all here.

Some of it is a bit worrying, but the letter says NON URGENT but it still puts questions in your mind.

I think its time to get some birthday cake and chillax as my back is killing.... BOOOO!!! ha ha

Ciao

Cats Birthday/ Valentines Weekend

I must be so unlucky to fall for someone who has a birthday is on the 13th February!!! Costs me a small fortune! 

Well its 13th Feb, Cat was still asleep when i woke up because Noah has been up all night.  My poor little boy has the sniffles.  I treated her to a home made bacon sandwich and let he chill in bed until 9:30am... I decided that I would take Catherine up to the Mall @ Cribbs to look for some clothes but she really didn't want too... That made me feel great as I wanted to treat her.  I didn't realise but I had not taken my tablets and felt stressed, its weird how these things happen.  Also wanted to go up the mall to look for the Moleskine book, but i expect i will have to order it off the internet.  Better do that at payday...

Glenda came over around lunchtime and we went up the mall so i did not watch the Rugby.  Wales V Scotland in the 6 Nations today and England v Italy on the 14th Feb.

Noah is pulling himself up more often and he is such a terror, moving about loads now and well growing up quickly.

I have to remember to write a letter to the landlord as well as this place is a shit hole, needs some serious work done.

Also whilst i was up the Mall i saw this -

How expensive is Valentines day... £20.00 for a bunch of Roses... I would rather buy a box of roses for £3.00. ha ha

Later we went up Allen and Melissas and had drinks and played Tekken on the PS3.  I was good sometimes and crap the other.  Shame ha ha, i used to be awesome.

Also had Dominos and a birthday cake for Catherine (25) awww..... Mine soon!

Well i went to bed at 2:26am and Catherine followed at 6:30 am.... I was not best pleased.  Very tired and drunk, but hey it was her birthday.  We stayed at Allen and Melissas and it has to be said they are lovely people and we are lucky to know them.

Valentines Day, well this consisted of getting up.  Going to Tescos buying lunch and cooking it over A & Ms house.  Was one of the best lunches i have ever made.  We finally got home however at 6pm, knackered, but after a really good weekend.

Catherine liked her card and Mr. Bump toy.... It was cute! Just like me ha ha.

I had work today and had to get up early.... So i made it to bed at 9pm and fell straight asleep.

I think this is the longest blog ever ha ha.

Ciao

Back To It.....

Ok so I am really really bad at keeping a blog, I'm sorry....

However, to lessen the stress in my life and to remind me of the good times and the bad I am going to write a journal type thing..... I have a Moleskine notepad to jot everything down, no matter how trivial.  I also have my Blackberry 8520 with camera to take pictures all me it not very good ones.... ha ha

So I actually started last night but will update you today......

Up at 6:40am, got ready for work and out by 7:10am.  Way too early....!! Work was busyish but not over run, however the workload is increasing.  Bad times.  I would rather be lying next to my two babies giving them cuddles.  I hate work.   However the fun times I have with my team and a few others makes the difference.  The conversations can be so wrong but so funny as well.

I am trying to use twitter more but really have not got the time.

For lunch I had a Meat Feast from Out To Lunch based in bath... mmmmm Forgot to take a pic but it was tasty!

Also saw this in the Metro -

Will it really be a good thing???? Stupid ministers!.

Anyway follow me on twitter djsodapop.
