    One of those days today

    The grind of filling in forms to claim Government money, going down to the minutiae even the completely irrelevent bits. Adding it all up, checking it, getting told its wrong, checking it again, realising it is right......that sort of thing.

    Then having a query from a colleague because the development we have just finished has had a gate nicked. Don't know whether to do this :mad: or this :rotfl:. It's probably in someone's wood burner by now!

    Yesterday was a comedy classic aswell.
    Found the swimming pool which is pretty slack of me as I've only been in the town for about 20 months :o (although much of that time without money it has to be said! It does...I'm saying it. Like at work when I say "IT DOES ADD UP.....REALLY IT DOES....I'VE CHECKED....IT'S RIGHT.....I'M RIGHT" [My childhood has a lot to answer for])...................then found out it's been that long since I've been swimming I've forgotten how to do front crawl or how to keep my face in the water. :eek:

    Felt really refreshed :D

    Then put an Ikea bookcase together in the living room (Incidently hardly ANY difference between the mourned Expedit and it's replacement Kallax - slightly thinner frame. Still prefer Expedit!!)

    Felt incredibly sweaty and unrefreshed. :(

    Had a shower prior to going out for a curry. Went to the loo in the curry house and got locked in the toilet :eek:
    Banging on the door....could they hear me? Yes.....was anyone doing anything other than :rotfl: NO!!!

    Ah well gave them a laugh

    What was his query? "Do you have it?"

    I am shocked you can remember the names of them. They're all completely meaningless apart from the really hard to put together one that people in Sweden call the Tweaaaaaaat....

    I was thinking that, after a curry, it would be worse to be locked OUT of the toilet ! :rotfl:

    If you'd thought that far ahead, you could have just taken a fireman in with you...
