Hiding in the Bunker

Major disagreements between Monst and Cal today. I'm due to be tidying upstairs....it's the saest option! Deposit the pair of them in Woolton to get the boy's glasses repaired. End up watching darts as I clean the bedroom - weird.

He's Got to Be Taught, Cos He Is More Evil Than Anyone Thought

Big T is finally complete. Finish about 5. Was it worth the effort, er...franky no, already the floors are begining to silt up and I'm growling at anyone threatening to make a mess.

Fall asleep this afternoon, no doubt I'll pay for that tonight. Fit the news in at points, get blogged with tomorrows though.

Sent to the No Mercy to retrieve the holiday pics from Boots I replace the bat phone which hasn't charged overnight, suprised at how good Comet are about that given that I couldn't find the reciept. Seems to do the job a treat.

Christ what an exciting day..... grab a bottle of Old Rosie from the fridge, complete the Sunday evening constitutional phone call, still laughing at the efforts to help the boy with his spellings. His teacher suggested that we employ analogy so the suggestion for Should from the old fella was Sharon Has Orange Underwear Like Dad - dunno that it went down well. Even if Cal don't remember it I sure as hell will now!

Scrubber

There is a moment during the Big T that is today and believe me there is still plenty to do at which I realise the whole thing is like one of those puzzles with one missing piece that are jumbled up until you shift things round to put the pieces back in the right place. Oddly enough it is the Pit that is the key to the piece so I break down the door (er...well open it and return to the room that is meant to be mine in the house). Sort it out and I can sort the dining room. Sort that out I can sort out the kitchen. The living room is done outside of this chicanery as are the halls and stairs. Bedrooms and bathrooms tomorrow then.

All of this and the new hub arrives. Now I'd rather be playig with sorting that out. Ring BT to check out the story on the Hub Phone that I was expecting with it. Turns out that because I'm upgrading within BT I won't get the freebie hub phone. That's fine, I get a substitute bat phone sorted and leave it bleeping downstairs as it charges up.

Reaches a time near 8'ish where I've had enough for the day, suspect I smell like a combination of a Turkish Wrestlers sock and a Monk's jock-strap. Throw in to the mix my right shoulder aches. Waiting on the folks returning to tell me I've

• not done enough
• done a half arsed job etc.

Be warned harsh words may follow.

Still the music has been sweet and that's never a bad thing.

Big T

Prepare myself for today's big tidy. Monst is taking the boy out so they are out of my hair. Wanna resist the Mole response of 'Hang, Spring-cleaning!'. So I prepare for the day by listening to 'Ultraviolet' from one Mr. Ed Alleyne-Johnson, former Particle, New Model Army violinist and local to this part of the world. Not my usual listening but nice and chilled. Tea and I'm sorted.

Flight of the Heffalump

Todays the day we fly, so what do I do, head to Reggie. Few printer problems at home (a vital piece is in the loft) so nip in to print a series of emails. In the process I leave a couple of heaps of stuff for Christina. Discover that there are problems with Lorenzo and Choose & Book, laugh like a drain as a result. Home by 8.00, wash up, tidy the kitchen and blog. Now we have a day full of laundrette visits, haircuts and hanging around to look forward to. It'll be a relief to get on the bloody plane.

Fleece

Home and still to begin the tidy up. Zap up to Sainsbury's to fetch yogs for the boy. Bit of a major paddy from him tonight as Monst removes him from infront of the Playstation. Not quite a surgical removal but a great deal of shouting. She heads upstairs to calm him down and promptly falls asleep. Right time to get going my reward for job done a bottle of Golden Sheep from the Black Sheep Brewery. Technorati Tags: Black Sheep Brewery; Tidy Up; Golden Sheep
