Was in work yesterday- having been off sick with a cold last Tuesday, when at lunchtime I went into the toilet and promply threw up solidly for 5 minutes.
Came home from work, and threw up all afternoon and then it started from another area.
Therefore, I am in bed as a type this. So thats my sickness record out of the window, but no way am I going to work like this.
Sums up my day. There was a bad accident last night on the Woodhead Pass and one this morning on the Snake Pass. You could see all the flashing blue lights from tescos car park at 630 this morning.
I decided to take it really slowly on the back roads, but of course some plank decided that 30 mph on an icy road wasn't fast enough. So he over took me. Plonker I thought (you know the real word I thought). Get around the next corner only to find the Vauxhall Vectra half in the wall, half on the ro
Right here goes.
I've been reading Net Weather for some time now, and only came across the Blogs last week, what a great idea, I thought, I'll start one.
So who am I, and where, what etc. Well my screen name says it all, I'm Phil and I live in Glossop in North Derbyshire. Actually I live in Dinting which is 2 miles from Glossop, but who's spliting hairs! I live with my partner Daz, who's I've been with for some 4 years now, and we have two dogs, Will and Tasmin. Oh and 3 cats.
I'm orginally
Facebook.
Odd beast. Yes you can be become friends with people you know very well and love, but equally out of the blue, someone clicks on your profile and asks to be your friend.
Nothing unusual, until you realise that this person generally made your life unhappy via bullying some 15 plus years ago. OK they may have changed as we get older, but do you accept them as friends????
Bit of an odd one that.......
Today I have spent the day producing 200+ resident parking only permits for residents of Plymouth.
Following events in Southway- that seems and is totally pointless.

My thoughts are with the parents of the girl killed today.
Started work at 640am- finished at 315pm. Lovely.
Home to avoid all the works christmas parties. We cancelled our at work. No interest. Boring lot.
I'm going out next weekend. On my own. No nasty work colleagues to deal with!!
I have been dianogised with Depression and Anxiety- and finally I've recognised that I need help. It all came to a head on Saturday night, when I did somethings which I deeply regretted. I won't go into details, only my close friends have never been so worried about me and told me straight on Sunday/Monday to go off sick. My Doctor has been fantastic and has told me that I will in this for the long haul and he has given me a tablet called Citalopram. The ironic thing which I couldn't get is that
I have been to the Doc's. No, still not smoking, but went for a training run yesterday for a 10k I've signed up for. And tore my hamstring behind by left knee .
Doc thinks I'll be fine, just hope that it heals before 4th May.
Day 4. Still going strong.
Work busy, but only as member of staff off sick - so team of 9 was down to, well me and Gay my temp.
So did well -no fags no cravings just worked hard. And yes had 2 pints after work as a treat tonight.
So now got through half the week - fingers crossed- have we broke it?
Day 3
No rows at work, only one before bed last night- when I lost my rag with Daz. And slept in the spare bed. Anyhoo
Had a pointless course at work this morning on Equality. Now as a gay man I'm all for Equality but it's 2008 and I know things are soooo much better than they were in 1998. But the upshot of this course was to talk about life as if it was 1998 and not 2008? So I lost interest and looked at the duckpond by Plymouth Civic Centre and looked at Stan and Hilda (our 2 ducks) for 3 h
"Geordie accent" In the Big Brother house. :lol:
Hard day today- had the management late- not good. So tired and fed up. Forgot puffer (fag substitute), so ate 3 red biros all now have red mouth.
Nothing to say bar- here I am!
I had to bring some work home tonight, well actually it's 3 months filing. Tasmin (my little 18 month old little staffy cross) decides to help Daddy and promptly shreads August's records..........
The fact that it's all letters of complaint is quite funny, and she's still chewing on letters as I type this somehow makes it even better.
My boss will be happy tomorrow when I explain this in the monthly meeting. Could be P45 time!
I have been married for 3 months. I will probably be filing for divorce after today.
My "husband"- and I currently use that word lightly- didn't manage to come home last night. When I found him in the pub at lunchtime he was 4 parts to the wind and told me he'd had a lovely night in the local Holiday Inn with a another guy.
Then to make matters when better- he tells me this the sixth time this has happened in the 6 years we've been together.
So after 4 hours of finding out this information -
Darren and I get "Civil Partnershiped" 4 weeks today.
Frankly we need a wedding planner. Or a Civil Partnership planner. You name it, it's gone wrong lately.
The wedding party was to be held at our best mates pub. He took it over last September. Then 5 weeks ago this happened..... See below.
Yup the glass washer set the whole pub up in flames. We've spent hours trying to sort things out- washing cleaning, but the insurance company have finally decided to rebuild. Luckily the fire crew got Dav
So I forgot the alarm this morning, so that was a mad morning rush. Pay day today, not coffee bar decaf- all the taste no buzz!
Anyway works lunch which turned into, "can highways beat parking on pint for pint".Answer, yup, parking wins....... thats some hangover in Mexborough Mr Lineacre.
Sorry if daffodiled but Xmas has started.
Will have hangover from hell tomorrow........
My house is on an ex council estate. Until today it was the only house on the estate without any lights outside. It was decided that this made our house worse than some of the others. So I've invested in some lights from Wilkinsons for £4.99.
Given the gales forecast for tonight, it may be £4.99 down the drain
Oh and here's the Christmas Tree circa 2007!!!
I will never go to Asda 2 days before Christmas every again.
Unless it's for a bottle of Baileys or similar Irish Cream drink which makes you feel rather mellow after one glass.
I have to work tomorrow. This could be interesting. I still have red wine!
Christmas is looking goooooooooood
Firstly we are not Chav's, but my Mum decided to put the chip pan on by mistake when cooking the veg yesterday. Hence it caught fire between the starter and the turkey.
I did the normal manly thing. I took it outside screaming "fire". No damage, but a good story to go back to work with.
"How was your Christmas?"
"Fine bar the chip pan fire on Christmas Day................"
I have threatened my mum and Dad with a care home as a result.
My mum later claimed she didn't want bath salts but
Today was the first day I actually felt cold during the day. Well actually it was bloody freezing outside the registry office at work as I was having by afternoon fag behind the bins . Mind you it was 4pm and dark so I shouldn't have expected any different.
The funny thing is, is that as i came over the Pennines tonight, it seemed to get warmer. Now I'm not one to get my markers out, but when I left Rotherham it was cold and I needed to do my jacket up fully, but by the time I came into Glosso
Day 21
Still no smoking. Yet ironically feeling ruddy awful- certainly Thursday and yesterday. Developing a nasty cough- a good sign that the chest is clearing slowly.
Having a quiet weekend at home- spring cleaning now. Smelt the bedroom curtains this morning- yuk they are coming down for a wash today.
Now all I have to do is get Darren to paint the whole house. But he can do that next weekend!!
I am 34. Some friends have commented "you made it". One added "just"
I got
Various birthday cards on parking - including a parking attendant issuing a PCN to a Dalek (OK I work I'm the Senior Parking Officer for Plymouth City Council )

Video I Pod (for the bus to work to play my TV clips) (Note I may work in parking but even I think £29 per month on the bus is stonking value for money compared to £4 per day :unsure: )
