We plan to celebrate this evening (and commiserate) since Craig managed to bag a really good job today. Starting on April 1st (yes it is a real job and not an April Fool’s joke, or we hope not anyway!) its back to stuff he knows lots about – taking the mickey out of everyone around, practical jokes, being argumentative – oops I meant to say software development. So, now all the practical aspects kick in – we need another car again for instance. Then there is the sharing out of the chores – and I thought I’d managed to avoid them!
But is the dream over, our escaping the rat race and seeing distant shores?? Well, not so much over as on hold until we rebuild the coffers a little. We’ve still lots of dreams and plenty of plans in place and we will make each one happen – of course a large windfall at this stage would assist with the plans (ps any rich distant rellies out there wanting an orphan to claim?). We did try to claim Craig was the original inspiration for Tin Tin or of course Jimmy Somervilles love child (and if you know who we are talking about it would take some leap of the imagination for that one) but unfortunately he lost his hair before we could get the claim to court – so lost out there!
But, back to the grind then, at least until October when we do the Folk Tour. And as to me – well, one month as Head of IT and I’m quite proud to share with you all that I have managed to lose the entire original support team – yup every one of them has resigned (hoo harr, I’m NASTY). So fun and games all around me at the moment.
Spike, the flabby lay-around is now on an enforced diet which might have been as easy to offer him a gastric band or something, lots of faff weighing out bits of food only to watch the cat devour it in seconds and wail for more.
And this week we mourn the last of the Pear Dare, supped earlier on by yours truly – delish!
So, to the weekend, a fab meal planned by sexy chef Craig, champagne to celebrate his new job offer and plenty of laying around doing nothing. Enjoy the weekend everyone. Next week for us workers its a shorter one!!
Hallo,
Bad luck Craig, welcome back to the workforce – can you not register Spike as a child, then you could look for a term-time-only job like me. You’d get child benefit too.
Nice one Lorna, give em what for – you know what lazy types these techies can be. ahem.
We have half a bottle of pear dare left and if you’re good we will bring it with us!
See you soon, bring on the snow – do you have a sled?

OOh one other thing, my mum managed to free the bottle from the puzzle, but can’t get it back in again! Will have to decide whether to drink it or spend hours getting it back inside the puzzle. Hmm tough one.
