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........
I really can't believe it's 11 days to the big day. I'm in such a bah humbag mood it's unreal.
Went out at lunchtime in Rotherham looking for Christmas presents, the only thing I bought, was a jar of coffee for the office.......
Rotherham has the biggest inflatable snowman going in the town centre- i had some enormous urge to put my lit ciggie into it and deflat it
Really getting depressed and I just don't know why. I normally love this time of year. Hopefully it's a passing phase.
Been an eventful week.
The oven caught fire last Sunday :unsure: the thing was old and knackered but the fire was quite spectacular. Anyway, firemen came around and put the oven out, the roast was ruined.
So it's been insurance forms all week. We lost the kitchen lino (melted), ceilling (burnt), worktops (nothing wrong with them but we're claiming as they are old ).
its been microwave meals and takeaways all week. But the new oven is due next week, and hopefully we'll have a kitchen in th
Why is it when you pack away your Xmas lights from last year they work perfectly? You pack them away in a nice tidy bundle, but when you come to get them out, the Loft Fairies have been using them for nesting and they don't work!
So you spend 2 hours finding the bulb that doesn't work and then when you put them on the tree they fuse throwing the whole house into darkness.
This is has been my morning. I'm off to Focus to buy a new set. I have no doubt the same will happen next year
Still it
Well it's been an odd week, snow Monday, ice Tuesday, wet since.
Home life is good, with my new PC coming tomorrow morning. Thanks to AOL messing up, i have a new router (£80) for free working, meaning top speed broadband. EXCELLENT
Work, well thats a different matter. For reasons I can't go into, i've spent 3 hours with the police today. Thankfully nothing wrong with my Parking Lads and Ladies, more helping for a neighbouring force in an enquiry. I've been able to talk to Daz about it (than
Well what a day!
Put GMTV on at 6am to hear the words snow on the Peak District today. Looked out the window to NOTHING, but icy windowscreen.
Anyway got to work for 730, and thought nothing of it, other than, a long Monday ahead. Then I got the call that changed the day.
"Phil it's me, you'd better come home, it's snowing badly". Thanks Daz i thought. And to be honest, the roads out of Rotherham were clear. Started thinking dark thoughts like "idiot getting me home, theres no snow". But as I
I'm off sick today, got a nasty stomach bug, of which the details are just too gruesome to explain. However it is nice not to worry about people ringing me and moaning at me........
SO, the burning question is, will it snow? Managed to get the dogs out for a walk yesterday on the Woodhead railway line, and even our friends who can with us couldn't believe just how cold it was. The hills have got a "blue" look to them at the moment, and the last time they looked like that was February. We had 2
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
Ever get a week when you've worked yourself to a standstill? I am so tired tonight it's not true. Comes from having no money for car parking---- pay day at midnight yippie. However I've been getting up for work at 530am all week as a result just so I can get free parking.
Weather was really icy this morning, and I did skid on the back roads to the Woodhead pass, luckily I did keep my speed low.
Left work at at quarter to four tonight, as I thought the roads would get worse. I was right, jus
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!
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
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
