Butti's Journey: A matter of loaf and death

Butti

I have one at home Lou, just need to remember to take my allan keys with me or find some there.

I appear to have made enough salmon risotto to feed the 5000...............for a week!

Butti

Well...am home...and have spend about an hour in the garage in the company of Graham Norton (on the radio this morning).

Have had messages on gumtree from a woman who wants my 4ft bed mattress but not base for £25. Will probably go for that so have sent her a message.

Also have two messages from guys about my motorbike panniers up on Gumtree for £30.

The flip side of this is that I am going to go out to a wee town on the coast famous for hanging a monkey because they thought it was a french spy (that's northern intelligence in the 1800's for you) by train (in about 30 minutes) to buy my second piece of clothing for the year - a £10 tee shirt which advertises the pub. I may post a picture of the back of it on Facebook later so you can fully appreciate the genius of it.

This weekends food was salmon risotto, is salmon risotto and tomorrow will be salmon risotto all microwaved to within an inch of its life or possibly past that inch.
Next week I am doing chorizo and pasta for two meals, couscous and salmon, and A girl called Jack's chilli. Only the last meal requires the buying of ingrediants.

Desperate to cut the grass - but a bit damp. Really it needs doing as when I'm next back up (a fortnight) it will be looking a bit wild.

Have told rental agent that dog is okay provided get references for it, can talk to the current landlord who is bound to say 'This dog is a complete nightmare, please don't take it so I can keep it destroying my house' You think?!!! AND I needed a higher deposit and have asked them for guidance on this.

So...
back down south, or southish, it's not really south...more in the middle.

Have left my house;
clean
tidy
hoovered
and with less boxes in the garage.

Now having a glass of wine and pondering where the TV remote could be in this incredibly untidy room!!!

Butti

Ah life....

The tightrope between bliss and torment...glory and landing head first in the sh*t!

So (red light spells danger and all that) tomorrow is Papa's birthday....but my book of faeces(thought you'd appreciate that little touch!) I believe is being monitored for signs of expenditure.
Really it is....really...really...seriously it's not just paranoia.So as it is the person who is doing the monitoring who has the birthday what am I supposed to do?

• Knit him something (quickly)- no suggestions please, I know how your minds work.
• Bake a cake and then squash it into an envelope
• Send a card but nothing else
• Get a £10 voucher and put it in a card and accept the inevitable flak because I have managed to get my purse open beat my way through the moths and put it on the credit card :eek::eek::eek: (only joking...well about the last bit at least)
• buy him one of those alarms for when he is lying dying for 2 days as he is convinced this is how he will go.

It's a no win/no win/no win / no win situation. Oh joy ! (and possibly one I should have thought about before today :rotfl:)

Oh well!

Cheap tea tonight - tomato and chorizo. Followed by revision of fire extinguishers and sign language. Should come in handy don't you think!

Card is all me thinks.

Woooo pause for intake of breath!

Been given another site as part of my job. That's two sites of 77 new houses/flats on top of my existing job of regenerating 22 units each year. I 'LOVE' the way in my job people say 'put these on the system' or 'populate the cashflow' and don't tell me;

- how I get on the system
- how I get on the cashflow
- what THE HELL I AM DOING

Slightly stressful day, not helped by not setting my alarm clock and waking up at 8.30am

Never mind, tomorrow's a new day and tomorrow I shall be asking LOTS of questions

Butti

Day One
1. Take porridge and last nights pasta dish to work
2. Eat porridge and dispense out half the pasta
3. Notice that your bag is missing
4. Have a spot of blind panic while you realise one of your work colleagues may have turned into a kleptomaniac overnight.
5. Realise you can't actually remember putting your bag in the car that morning
6. Get home and realise you didn't take your bag to work

Day Two
1. Think half way to work 'Have I put my handbag in the car?'
2. Realise half way to work you haven't put your handbag in the car (I did stop first rather than checking at 70 mph!)
3. Realise you do have porridge and the other half of the pasta dish at work
4. Realise that although you have got to work if you don't put petrol in the car you may be walking half the way home.
5. Get £10 out of the bank

Lessons
1. Room needs clearing out
2. A fool proof method is needed to prevent me from leaving my handbag in my bedroom.
3. The rest of the week should be better!

I stand at the front door doing a mental ticklist:
Phone
Fags
Keys
Lunch
Bag

Still got to work the other morning without my handbag :rotfl:

Butti

I thought you were going to offer me some fool proof advice Maty...but no!
