    What a cracking couple of days......

    Managed to get into uni for 7.30am on Tuesday. Overbalanced on the tram on the way there and managed to headbutt a man in the crotch. Not my best move.

    No. You need to interact with it a little lower down. Reminds me a little of the Airplane "Drinking problem" gag... ;)

    I managed not to laugh up to that point...

    Excellent day today.
    Have nearly finished application form for promotion :D
    I've spoken to the surveyor of the second house and he thinks it's a tidy example of a house of its age. Needs the electrics upgrading from fuse wire but so did the old house!
    Have rang and emailed the Estate Agent and pulled out of the sale of the vicar's house. There's me in hell for eternity :D.

    I'll get back to you on the downsides to that.

    At some point...

    Nice to hear you so [STRIKE]happy[/STRIKE] sad and [STRIKE]positive[/STRIKE] miserable. (Don't want to curse it...:eek:)

    Have rang and emailed the Estate Agent and pulled out of the sale of the vicar's house. There's me in hell for eternity .

    Now don't get me wrong - I'm quite happy with this state of affairs, BUT ever since I told the Estate Agents (who were MEGA MEGA sympathetic) it has completely trollied it down when I step outside the car / house/ any enclosed building and stopped when I have got back under cover!! Coincidence? Have I been cursed by the Vicar? Hmmmmmmmmm

    So have had one tax payment, waiting for the other one (which was about £70) and a decision on the one from 2010.

    Have applied for promotion. Glad that is done, now just have the reading for the course and the book club reading to do before Tuesday. My life has become a TO- DO list :T

    What you need to counteract that is that implement of Satan - the umbrella...

    Miscalculated.
    Balance on M&S was less, £702, so the total is now £467. Woohoo!

    At least the miscalculation was in the right direction... :cool:

    I've just come off the phone to the Building Society...first step to becoming a wage-slave rather than continuing my career path towards becoming a millionaire playboy... :eek::eek::eek:

    I must admit, I'm far more excited at the prospect of becoming a millionaire playboy. :D

    But I guess I should have a place of my own - if only to invite the millionaire playgirls round... :rotfl:
