Evil Sid Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Holidays what are those. Am off this week as the schools are off so technically I am on holiday. The school on my run finished on thursday last so Friday was the first day of my holiday. Not so as I had to cover for one of the other escorts as they had forgotten to pick them up. Normal weekend shopping ,dog walking and sorting out washing etc. Monday spent two hours waiting in hospital with Mrs sid whilst she had a blood test.rest of day spent sorting out tools to put new taps on sink. Tuesday spent two hours waiting in hospital with mother whilst she had her appointment. rest of day wandering around deciding what taps to buy for sink. wednesday trip into town to see bank manager to explain for the umpteenth time that I do not want or need a loan and that the money that has been transferred into my account has been earmarked for other projects and I will not under any circumstances be putting it into an ISA or any other savings scheme. Rest off day spent fitting new taps to sink along with new waste trap, plug hole and overflow. as for today it is still early and I am wondering what the day will bring. May get around to doing another load of washing who knows. But definitely no HOLIDAY. :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazj Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I was thinking about taking the yacht down to Monaco and cove hopping round there for the summer..... maybe take in a bit of Italy for the Autumn and call back Via Switzerland for a little bit on the Piste on the way back..... Or maybe staying at home sorting out cars and DIY may be a better option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
