    Evening chums :hello:

    Ran out of porridge this morning :eek: Fortunately I had some in work - but we've both forgotten again today :o

    Also I was expecting a free lunch today, but for various reasons it didn't happen, so I ended up spending £4 in the work cafe. Had yesterday's slow cooker stew for tea though, and there's enough to take for lunch tomorrow :money:

    Going to amuse myself by regaling you all with my MB exploits for the evening (gosh this diary's a riveting read at the minute isn't it?! :rotfl: :rotfl: )

    Right, ready, steady, GO! :money:

    Evening chums :hello:

    Not much to report today. Looooonnnnng day yesterday, left home at 6am and didn't get back til nearly 11pm :eek: Then left again at 6am today :eek: So no MB, not much of anything really :o :rotfl: Had to buy ALL meals out yesterday - but breakfast was £1 porridge, lunch was a £3 sandwich, and then tea went to pot and was lunchables and crisps from the garage :o All three meals for under £10 though - not ideal but some days it just can't be helped :o

    My new wellies arrived today and there's a small notch out of the top of one of them :mad: I was about to start return proceedings, when I noticed that the notch is actually visible in the photo. Small, and I hadn't looked at the photo too clearly as I ordered them on my phone, and they were described as BRAND NEW :mad: So I don't think I'm going to bother trying to return them :o Won't affect use anyway.

    Anyway, I'm bored of trying to sort things out :o Had to get a tail light fixed on the little car yesterday - rang a shop, they said they could fix, I arrived 15 minutes later - and they were shut!! The one person left said he didn't know anything about it, and couldn't help :mad: I went to another one of their stores where I received excellent service - emailed this morning and told them about both.

    Then today I spent all day trying to ring the good service store to get the number plate for the *other* car fixed after Mr Cheery had a small 'incident' yesterday when he was going forwards and another car was going *backwards* and their tow bar went through our registration plate :mad: For goodness sake. Not clear whose fault it was (I wasn't there so it definitely wasn't mine!! :rotfl: ). Anyway, couldn't get through, and couldn't get through to their national customer service line either, so ended up tweeting them (and received a reply saying they were having a new phone line installed)

    Anyway, apparently I can just turn up tomorrow and get a new number plate (need to remember to take all documents). But it's just YET ANOTHER thing to blithering sort out - and Mr Cheery can't do it while I'm at work as that bl**dy car is registered in my name.

    Sigh.

    Builder is coming back tomorrow - I HOPE they get it right this time because I am FED UP of going back and forth and just want to get on with the DIY :o

    Anyway, need to go and get on with some more work - strike is definitely on from Monday and as much as I don't want to do work I'm not paid for, there are certain people I don't want to suffer. And all of tomorrow afternoon is taken up with an event I can't get out of, so there we are.

    Yawn.

    I'm sure I'll feel more cheerful about it once I've had my tea - Mr Cheery has put a Linda McCartney deep country pie in the oven :D :j :j

    Hi Cheery,
    Been reading your diary for ages and your original mb exploits inspired me to start mb finally last weekend, don't think I would have been inspired by your latest exploits though! Am £44 up so far in 4 days, got 2 matches being played tomorrow and will sort some more matches out tomorrow, I've got loads more free bets to use, I love it but it is quite addictive, especially the money! so thanks for being an inspiration :)

    :TYou are still very much quids in on the MB, so the odd loss doesn't matter.
    I feel your pain with all the running back and forth and sorting things out mallarky. It's like buses, they come in threes at least. Hopefully, you will get a quiet spell soon, where everything runs like a dream. :)

    Afternoon MSE chums :hello:

    Hey Strawberry Suze :wave: Nice to see you - yes do jump in and post! Commiserations on your rennovating... but congratulations on you MB exploits! :money: the beginning is certainly lucrative - casino longer term is lucrative but has more ups and downs...

    Still waiting for the quiet spell ElmoR :rotfl: Number plate fixed speedily for £21 yesterday :j but they noticed the light has actually been affected by the bump too so it'll have to go into the garage to be checked....

    Anyway, not today :j Today we have been to the cafe for breakfast :o and nipped round the charity shops and done some local errands, and are now home for lunch with no plans to go out again :j

    I do have some plans for the afternoon though... but I might do a post about that once lunch is done :j
