Think you can still get VIP tickets for Sat mate, but be quick (or be dead)

http://sonisphere.co.uk/buy-tickets/

£175 a pop, but you get free parking, no queues, a drink and posh bogs :D
(Yeah I know, not very metal etc., but fuck Festival toilets, man - especially at Knebworth)

I've been hovering over the "buy" button for Saturday at Download. Not been for a few years and I'd like to see Linkin Park again.

Also, had my first ever offer for my flat.

However, it's also a Nay - it's on the market for £85K and they've offered £78.5K. That won't cover the outstanding mortgage, and I was considering taking it off the market anyway because I've spent a fair bit on it recently and frankly it seems silly to sell it when it'll do me for now.

I've managed to bump him up to £83.5K, so have accepted his offer.

This leaves me just about covering the outstanding mortgage, possibly leaving me a few hundred quid short.

So now I've got to find somewhere else to live, fucking sharpish. Preferably bought, not rented.

We had a chap start work for us who tried to get away with a two month overlap, not realising his old employer was a customer of ours.

Some plastic broke off our dishwasher on the main body at the top, so it started to make a lot more noise and leak a bit of water.

So I did what every good husband would do and ignored it as it was still working.

Now its tripping all the sockets in the house, so I guess some water is getting into the internal electrics.

Just been online to Curry's and ordered a new one that will be here Saturday and for another £90 they install everything (its integrated) and take the old one and all the packaging from the new one away

I could install it myself to be honest but I can't be arsed, we are up half the night with my son and I have a million and one jobs to do in the garden over Easter.

Brilliant! I thought I would be waiting weeks what with Easter holidays, looks like nothing stops for commerce any more!

Not a very good one if it takes him four days to perform an MOT.

Wife and son gone to in-laws in Dublin for the week.

For now its Yay as I came home at 5pm, did some bits in the garden, had a beer then made dinner

Now I can watch some TV and have nothing else to do but please myself, followed by a good nights sleep. Not been able to do this for 11 months

However already missing my son and wife so guess it maybe a Nay by the end of the week!!
