  • Well first thing tomorrow morning i am going to be getting a visit from the police to talk about the new tennants in my previous house stealing my identity and opening up catalogue accounts in my name adn not very intelligently getting item delivered to and signed for at that address in the past 3 weeks, boy are they in trouble.

    Next i am going to go out crimbo shopping and get the last of the pressies in (wifes got 98% done already! very organised for Xmas she is, starts it all in September). Then i might pop over to see my big sister.

    Then on Sunday i am working overtime (why i agreed to it i will never know don't realy care about the extra cash).

    Then it's back to work AGAIN on Monday.

    Hi Mike

    Just to say thanks for the invite but I'm working all weekend (for no extra money as usual - just loads of work). I may even have to miss my Saturday ritual of X Factor followed by recorded Strictly Come Dancing, Robin Hood and then results shows. This is not a good thing let me tell you.

    Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday! The big 30 eh? I get there in April :eek:

    Nemisis - good luck with the police - hope it all gets sorted.

    Gettingitsorted - enjoy the Natural History Museum. I think there's a Christmas Market and of course the Ice Skating rink too. Should be a lovely day out (note I lived in West London for three years and not managed to make it there yet!! :o )

    Have a good weekend everyone!

    Mike - hope you're feeling better now that the BR is over and done with!

    Just in case you missed my post (meant to PM you, never got round to it) - got 6 points and £255 fine on Monday - so am spending this weekend NOT looking at my driving licence as it's too depressing, and not going out in the car as only have enough petrol to get to work on Monday as don't get paid until Tuesday! Instead, will be rummaging in the loft for the Christmas pressies that I bought in the sales on New Years Day and figuring out who gets what.

    Plus cleaning, cooking, washing etc - the usual boring weekend stuff!
