Scuba's Second try - Sink or Swim!

The cider jelly is because the gammon was cooked in cider - tastes alcoholic, and my house smells of two of my favourite things, gammon/bacon and booze without me smelling of booze too...

I watched Happy Feet 2, am now on to 10 Things I Hate AboutYou and have moved on from wine to vodka and pepsi as the wine just wasn't going down too well.

You have the messy fairies wandering around behind your back too?

I should hoover, but I need to find the floor before I can do that, but at least when I do find enough floor to try to hoover I have one which works now I've aquired my Dad's old Dyson on a long term loan.

High protein is always a good diet plan, when combined with alcohol and chocolate - found an easter egg in the 'salad' drawer of my fridge under the ketchup bottle and assorted other sweets.

What was wrong with the wine?

Wandering? Hell no... My lot have little jump suits, balaclavas and assault vests - they're organised. They do raids - in the middle of the night - honestly...

The upright Dysons are good. The little cylinders Dysons are crap though - too heavy and they keep snagging on things. A quick hard pull on the hose and the heavy plastic body goes flying past your face (assuming you duck) at high speed.

Yes, I have both... :whistle:

Chocolate egg being filed under "salad" - that's a new one on me. I've seen them in an egg tray before though...

Its an upright one, must be at least 10 years old mind you but Dad reckons it still gets the dog fur up, so I figure it'll be fine in my house with the lack of dog around - although the living room rug seems to be a magnet for my stray hair, a guest not so long ago asked me if I'd had some kind of very long haired golden retriever type dog in the house recently - in his defence I suppose he was on the floor as he'd fallen off the sofa, chasing his can of lager after he dropped it and my old hoover is bloody awful, hence the aquisition of the Dyson. At my height I suspect the small Dyson would fly over my head.

Nothing wrong with it, just not as easy to drink as normal, the rest of the bottle is back in the fridge for drinking Saturday night after work, with any luck I'll not be drinking it all on by myself, as we're trying to arrange another dive trip planning evening (or just a !!!! up but its all the same really).

There is very rarely salad in the house never mind making it as far as the fridge, so the salad drawer is full of sugar - wethers, m&m's, and apparently until today an easter egg.

Home from another muchly fun day at work. Still it puts me another day closer to my next day off when I can sleep...

Have already packed my things for work tomorrow, OU books and a change of clothes, I just need to chuck my lappy in the bag too so that I dont need to come home between shifts, the AirShow is driving me nuts, there are closed roads all over place which is making driving anywhere in the area a 'mare esp during the day when people are coming and going.

The next topic in my OU course is Geology based so although its a short book it will be hard going as I find the topic incredibly boring.

I've also shredded a big chunk of gammon and lobbed it in to my slow cooker, will portion it up and freeze it rtomorrow when its cooled down.

Ah, but did you ask him if he applied it directly to the dog?

You should have slapped him...

Twice...

One you dive into the drink - the other the drink dives into you...

I have fruit. Yes - honestly. With double cream in case the extreme healthyness caused the end of the world or something...

Our dog would not tolerate his humans hoovering him.....am pretty sure he only tolerates the hoover as it means he gets to sit on the clean carpets and recover them in hair.

No point slapping him, he'd only have enjoyed it.

And on most of the dive trips I've been on after diving in to the drink, we allow drink in to us in large quantities.....

Fruit demands cream/icecream/dipping in chocolate before it is edible surely?

Absolutely - otherwise the proportion of carbs is wrong...

'So when do you get to go out for a drink and y'know have a life?'

Question from a customer earlier, after I'd served them coffee at 9am, and then a beer at 9pm in two different retail outlets at my work place. The only answer was I don't, but I make time when I need to.

That said I spent much of today between shifts reading my next OU text book and making notes, could do with spending an afternoon seeing if either of the printers I've got on the desk actually still work so I can print the assignment and see about getting a head start on it as the next ones are due close together - from memory two the week before I go on holiday and two 10 days after I get home again.

My personal target on SB has been met for the day.

Managed in the hour since I got home from work to sort out three bags of recyclables to get rid of in the morning, and another three of none recyclables which I can't get rid of til next week.

I need to call my current insurance company and let them know I don't want to renew with them, and have paid for the next 12 months insurance, saved myself £70 on the renewal price and should be getting £25 cash back, but also need to remember to transfer the money from my savings account and pay it off the credit card tomorrow evening.

Last night can mostly be summed up by the word 'whoops'

Me and my mate decided to treat ourselves to a pub visit, so three bottles of wine later and one poor bloke who bought us one and failed to chat either of us up later its closing time and I had to be at work at 0630 - so logic dictates that I booty called someone who I don't really fancy but knew wasnt busy for the evening. Ahh well single life is fun now I'm getting used to it again.

After work this afternoon me and my mate went to see Magic Mike, utterly brainless, and fun. Loved it.
