Sub Title
A Review of 2012 - The first week of
Sunday approx 14:01
Chest of drawers collapses like a pack of cards on my big toe
Monday Approx 12:31
Washing machine packed in - Only had the bloody item 12 years 
Tuesday Approx 06:01
Purchase new washer / dryer - urgent cause I like to wash my clothes on occassion
Purchase new chest of drawers - urgent cause I like to organise things
Wednesday Approx 09:30
Cat ermm I mean car (I dont have a cat - why did I say cat I wonder) has difficulty getting up (just like me but up steep hills) Decide that due to other running problems with vehicle (and me that I wont go into here) to book car into garage on Friday for check up service and book GP appointment for next week.
Thursday Approx - well actually Thursday was not a bad day and quite non eventful - apart from new washer arriving @ 07:30 - but I had to get up anyhow to answer the delivery guy at the door !
Friday Approx 16:30
After having dropped my car into the car hospitial earlier that day for a check up / service I drop in to find out the test (service) results.
Car consultant shakes his head tutting and saying I have very bad news - How bad? I ask ... oh very bad!!! says he.
Car consultant talks about springy things, head gasket things cooler whatevers, nail in tyre that I do understand !!!
Says that I am lucky that I dropped the car in as if I had continued to drive the car it could have exploded and transformed into a smoking wreck destroying the engine and ending the world before the 21st December predicted by the Mayans due for this year (but thats another blog) (Well actually he mentioned the head gasket blowing the engine) - so after I look up the word 'head gasket' and 'engine' on my smart(ish) phone I know what he is talking about and feel that I am now qualified to participate in this facinating conversation about how cars work in more details than - put petrol in, turn key and push pedals.
(yes I have 'father issues' that he never enlighted me to the workings of the Polski Fiat that he delighted in humilimating me with when taking me to school - least I know where my submissive leanings originated from - >>insert smiley here << )
Anyhows he crunches a few figures and says that he will phone about for prices and return to me with exact costs after giving me a ballpark figure and after I lift myself up from the floor I leave the car hospital wishing that I had never bought this omen, anti christ of a car.
Saturday Approx 11:30
Chest of drawers arrive 
Open box - well tear open the box with the excitment of a child opening his presents 04:30 on Christmas Day.
After examining the contents and happy that it is the same colour (well you can never really tell in the catalogue picture) as my wardrobe and other chest of drawers I take everything out to assemble with my trusted (powered up tool) screwdriver.
12:02 
Discover that the drawer depth is not sufficiant - I like to quish more than one sock in the drawer so
12:11
Pack everything back up in the box as best I can (well it never seems to pack back the way it came out)
12:30
Call retailer and they are happy to arrange collection of chest of drawers for Tuesday
13:30 
Look on ebay and discover that I could have bought replacment steel drawer runners at a fraction of the cost of replacing the drawers
13:35
Buy above mentioned runners
Sometime after 17:30 approx
fall asleep while watching DVD
22:00
Wake up after missing the start of the first episode of a new series of Casualty
So that was my week, however, what you must always remember is that There is always somebody, somewhere, worse of than you are !!!
So it wernt all that bad - really - and there is always next week !
Saluations

'and ending the world before the 21st December predicted by the Mayans due for this year' Well good news on the mayan front ,, there is nothing in their history to suggest it is actually the end of the world,, it is just the end of the mayan calender for this period of time,, i heartly suspect that another has not been produced on account that although the mayan still exist,,, they use our calender calculations now rather than their old one,,
Please excuse crap spelling cause i,m rubbish | ||

Hope your next week is an improvement on this one. Mind you, it sounds like it'd be difficult to have a worse week. One good point is that you hopefully haven't got the cold and cough I've been carrying round for the last week. Asthma and dry coughs are not a good mix! Dommy_nick Licence to perve! | ||

Casualty is usually highly improbable shit, but they excelled themselves this time. Dear Casualty Producer Instead of spending money on rubbish car crashes, which just look crap anyway, why not hire a couple of writers who don't need both hands to hold their crayon. Love and Kisses Me I have the perfect accent for conflict resolution, shame about the personality. | ||
