Workshy Barstewards...
« on: March 23, 2008, 12:01:02 AM »
No no, not my usual rant, me.

I have a five day weekend and challenge myself not to waste it:

Kitchen window needs a gloss
Drawer front needs putting back on
Dresser needs a lick of varnish
Front door needs second coat
Wallpaper to be hung in dining room
Bathroom light fitting needs replacing
Treat damp in bedroom

Plus the usual:

Wipe kids bottoms  (my own)     (kids not bottoms)
Entertain them
Hoover
Washing
Washing Up
Hoover
Feed kids
Entertain them
Hoover

And the specialist needs:

Make wifey smile

Thus far, the middle list has been achieved, though I'm sure the 'entertain' will be questioned.  The top list has been avoided due to the interesting mail received, tv, shape of vegetables, ingriedients in spotted dick etc.  Why does the most dull of things become interesting when there's stuff to avoid?

As for mission impossible, I'm sure completing list one and two whilst maintaining my youthful looks, the spontanaety (sp) of a younger me, a caring persona and producing a bunch of flowers from my derrier could crack the face...

Happy Easter!

Blimy, you do like a challenge Mr. Happy…
 noooo:
Why don’t you add ‘have a pint’ to the list – at least there is one you can tick off having completed it to your satisfaction… several times…  cloud9:

Just crossing one off the a-list would be satisfaction.

The beer list was acomplished last night, Hens Tooth, Tangle Foot and Badger Champion.  In fact I feel better for those small mercies...

This got me thinking and my 10K post is now a sad one. I Googled Eldridge Pope and found that it had folded some time ago. Shows how long the bloody doctors have had me off the beer. Read the link and join me in shedding a tear for one of the greatest old brewers who managed to cock it all up in the name of progress.

I am keeping an eye on you lot, answering emails from a wide spread family tree group and trying to type in Welsh for the magazine. My defunct Lap-top had a Welsh Language Programme on it but this new PC does not so it is back to first principles and Welsh, for those who don't know, has lots of little accents over letters ~ each has to be found in "Symbols" and inserted.  censored:

Oh ~ and I am stopping the children from making themselves  sick2: with chocolate eggs whilst trying to kill one another as I am also cooking lunch........... Mrs S is yacking to her mother on t'phone blissfully ignorant, apparently, of the chaos around her ::)

Well done Snoops, free drinks all round indeed... oh there is nobody here...  whistle:

Well, we'll have another 'free' session at 20,000...

I have just lit the BBQ bt I'd swap it for a few pints of real ale at the moment....  surrender:
