What are you doing today ??

[Monty]

Don't worry kiwi we went out on bikes this morning and had a swim after lunch. I'm just having a beer making an early tea before football this evening.

I wasn't having a go mate, just lamenting that it's the technique I use every day other than school holidays

Well actually to be truthful, I have a few most evenings, school holidays or not, that I'm not at work. I don't get pissed, but 2 or 3 gins does take the edge of homework, dinner, baths and bedtime procedures!

I follow that technique, and I'm a much better dad for it

[Kwacky]

It's very rare for me to drink in the house. I never have a hankering for it when I'm at home.

working from home cold calling for a new product launch,its like pulling hens teeth and I want it to end

[Rossgo]

I must admit I do like my work for all.of it's minues it does have a couple of pluses. 1. Start early finish early. 2. It's always busy so time goes quick. I'm now in my last couple of hours of work and I'm.looking forward to my weekend off

[Itchy]

Suffering.



Dark Fruit Strongbow is the devil!

Where I live the closed pub is 5 km away up a 100km/hr zone road, with no verge to walk on. Plus being a single Dad now if I waited till I 'went out' I'd be having about 6 drinks a year.

I took Mini Gee food shopping with me along our High St, we bought stuff at the fishmongers, butchers, greengrocers, deli and a second hand record shop. Apparently I'm far more fun to go shopping with than Mum.....

Seriously though, how do we ever expect independent shops to flourish if your kids never learn how to tell what's good and what's not and having a laugh and a bit of banter with the shopkeepers at the same time. It's fun and food awareness at the same time.

I'm with you there DeeGee. One of the things i like the most about living in the hills away from the city is i'm on a first name basis most of the shopkeepers of the shops I use in my local village. Especially the Post Office and Bottleshop

Later off out for a meal and then to a concert to see a tribute band of Genesis.

[Kwacky]

At my mum's for Sunday dinner. She's now reached that age where you have to leave the flavour in the water and throw it away.

[Deegee]

Sounds all too familiar, both our parents over cook in pans full of water and have only reeled in their compulsive use of salt in the last 10yrs. There comes a time when parents need to hand over the baton of large family catering to the younger generation or face the uncomfortable fact they aren't as capable any more.

Not good, but true in my experience.

[dogbot]

Trying desperately to stay awake.

[D6Nutz]

Sitting waiting for the cage to fail it's mot. I really hope it doesn't as I'm brassic this month, but it's 14 years old now so almost inevitable..

[Perkles]

Working from home cold calling again and trolling linkedin

[Kwacky]

Trying to get some witnesses to come back to me with signed statements.

People are always happy to help until you ask them to sign something.

[kiwikrasher]

googling why Kwacky and Perks always refer to Birmingham as Brum, and themselves as Brummies.. wiki helped me out, all make sense now!

[Kwacky]

A lot of locals still call it Brummagem

[dogbot]

You sure you just can't understand what they're saying?

[Kwacky]

That's Yammers. The Black Country accent in full flow is baffling. It's hard to believe these people live less than 20 miles away and effectively speak (sorry, spake) another language.
