RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2014 Moan-day was aptly named. Thank goodness it's followed by Cheese-day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2014 Morning all. There should be a law against Mondays! Jam, I can imagine what you're talking about. Such rollercoasters of emotion can be too much to bear even for the strongest of souls. Fingers crossed the new job which looks to be on the horizon will indeed materialise!

travelintrev Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Morning all, first working day of a new month! (Where did January go?) My Stress levels can get pretty high too, Jam so you have my sympathies. Yesterday wasnt to bad and some how without realising it I managed to walk around three and a half miles. That did though lead to a long Sunday afternoon snooze. Now today have to persuade a particularly ***** client that 11,000 volt electricity is something you don't mess with! Just looking at a bit of wire strung between a hand full of poles across his factory site does not constitute safe testing!.. Whatever you're up to today, Try to find something to smile about. Trev. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Morning All, I too, am left wondering what happened to January. The weather is not particularly inspiring this morning - it seems to be the normal grey that we have had for the past few weeks. Still, at least it is dry. It is quite cold too - but there was the first sign that the days are getting longer so that can only be a good thing! Have a good one everybody...

trisonic Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Your evening sounds like much more fun. Just wasted an hour of my life watching Top Gear. Even as a petrol head, TG has gone past it's sell by date…. Total garbage. Congrats on Saturday's result. Seems your private coaching of young Adam is working wonders…:-) I watch Fifth Gear ocassionally over here - only because I've become fascinated by Butler-Henderson's thighs as she changes gear, otherwise she's really not my type at all. Top Gear lost the plot several seasons ago... Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2014 Morning all. Still dark but it hasn't rained overnight. I went into the garage and moved a few buildings around and stuffed some filler into a platform base. That at least was a start. I may go out and see if the filler has dried today!

trisonic Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) You did that in my garage and you'll probably end up with frost-bite. No wonder we all have (in this area) cozy basements. Btw you'll be pleased to hear that I've kicked the morphine habit...and I'm on E-Cigs too. Best, Pete. Edited February 3, 2014 by trisonic 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashcombe Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Good for you, Pete! (and it will be) Stay strong! A lifelong smoking friend of ours from Staffs was introduced to E cigs by another friend whilst staying with us and is still using them, 18 months later! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold grandadbob Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2014 Good morning all Dull but dry here & 5oC, will be breezy & cloudy with some sunny periods - possibly. Taken tea to Chris who is not & happy bunny - more of a coughing & spluttering one & has been all night. She doesn't "do" illness so today should be fun. I await my instructions, Have a good one, Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2014 Morning all, light enough outside to see grey clouds and fluffy white ones. Been a quiet weekend really which was required because with two days out training there is going to be a lot of work crammed into the rest of the time before the holiday.

Coombe Barton Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 A lighter shade of the usual colour this morning, but still not one of the fifty. Plans for today - Excel, Excel and more Excel. The excitement of the day will be cooking a pasta concoction tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Pete, a colleague at work took to e-cigs and by 12 weeks he had given up smoking. I bought a nicotine mouth spray. It came in three diminishing strengths and before I had finished the first (strongest) vial I had quit smoking altogether. This after 54 years of continual heavy (30+ a day) smoking GOOD LUCK!

trisonic Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I still get the nicotine "hit" but no "tar" or "smoke" and my Wife says I smell a whole lot better.....(I never smoked in the house though, I realized how stupid I was when I went out for a drag at the height of a Hurricane... Using V2's. You did well, Don. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hey up everyone! 11.5 hours of cricket yesterday is taking its toll Watched a bit of the Superbowl but gave it up as it looked one sided (and it was) Have great week starting now everyone.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2014 Morning all After a bright and sunny day, we have another bright and sunny day! A bit of a chilly breeze - but hey it's early Feb! Good to hear of smokers losing the habit. Never did smoke ciggies, but used to puff on small cigars in the pub, occasionally indoors. Haven't done so in a decade. Pete's mention of morphine is a bit more perplexing. Hope your week goes well. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium AndyB Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2014 I watch Fifth Gear ocassionally over here - only because I've become fascinated by Butler-Henderson's thighs as she changes gear, otherwise she's really not my type at all. Top Gear lost the plot several seasons ago... Best, Pete. If memory serves me right a couple of colleagues of mine once persuaded her to drape herself across their Scimitar when she was filming at our workplace ahd have her photo taken. Actually that sounds more "oo-er" than it was meant to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium AndyB Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2014 Anyway, morning all. A thundery day here - more related to my mood than the local weather. See "this thread" for why! On a cheerier note it's my daughter's birthday today. 5 minutes ago I was cuddling her whilst the midwife attended to swmbo. Where did so many years go?! I'm seeing a few heads nodding sagely at that. Busier at work at the moment so time to drop in and say hello is getting squeezed, for which I apologise. The MiL is now on the last leg of her Caribbean cruise and about to transit Tafalgar, Biscay, Fitzroy. Sea state "high". Hoping she doesn't chuck up in the car when I pick her up at the docks later in the week. Anyway, better get on with the week. Have a good one everybody, Andy. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks for the support everyone, I feel much calmer this morning! Got my first cuppa of the day so until that's finished i'll be a zombie for a little while longer. And yes, what on earth did happen to January? All I remember is the first week being busy from Christmas bookings at work, and me deciding to get back into this hobby. Well, better fast than horribly slow I guess! Work wise it looks like a lot of shifts this week, with my day off on Friday. Let's hope I have enough time to do this logo! As for smoking, working in a pub everybody smokes (I can't blame them, it's the way they actually get a break). I've never wanted to, and never do want to try though. I don't really see any benefit whatsoever, and when I see young people smoking at work I wonder why... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Donw Posted February 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2014 When I was young there was a pub frequented by drug addicts they would be hanging around outside in all weathers taking fixes. Whenever I see smokers hanging around office doorways it reminds me so much of that pub with its junkies. I am so glad I gave up smoking years ago. Now I can see what a waste it was. My sister learned to roll cigarettes at about 12 for our grandad who had problems after a stroke but fortunately never took up smoking. Don Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
