this is old sh!te :: october '05... happy birthday to mew... Monday, October 31, 2005 Happy Birthday Charlie and Gertie. The kittens are two years old today, so we bought them a couple of presents. However in true birthday fashion the "Hide & Seek Deluxe" is too small so is going back to the shop. They can only just get their heads in! Rubbish. :( posted by jpa @ 11:33:00 AM strum... Saturday, October 29, 2005 I've got my first guitar lesson in a couple of hours! :o Best get some practice in quickly so I don't come across as a spaz... posted by jpa @ 2:05:00 PM cupboard... Friday, October 28, 2005 Hurrah! I've finally finished the boiler cupboard. It still needs painting white, but all the sawing and screwing is over. No lost fingers either. Maybe I should become a joiner once my job finally goes to India. The only Change Control I had to tolerate was when I swapped drill bits... posted by jpa @ 1:28:00 PM chippy... Monday, October 24, 2005 P and I have taken a week off to make a push on the DIY, concentrating on the bathroom and spare room. I've got the lovely task of making a big fitted cupboard in the spare room to hide the boiler. I've already knocked up £100 bill on wood so it had better be worth it, but cheaper than having the boiler relocated to the tiny kitchen I suppose. I'll post a pic at the end of the week, either of the completed cupboard or of me in casualty. posted by jpa @ 6:06:00 PM webcam... Tuesday, October 18, 2005 I've had a bit of a re-jig on the site. The aob link wasn't really being used much, so I've added some naff artwork that I've created over the years, and have moved the stale rants page there too. Which leaves a nice space on the navigator dedicated to the webcam. Clicky quick because it'll prolly be offline as soon as I lose interest! posted by jpa @ 12:19:00 PM statutory rights... Sunday, October 16, 2005 I took the crappy towel rail down this morning. Surprised it stayed up tbh. NEXT can have it back as it's rubbish. P says we can say it doesn't serve its purpose, or something that sounded legal anyhow. So now I've got two more poxy holes to fill, boo. posted by jpa @ 7:20:00 PM floppy... Saturday, October 15, 2005 Don't buy this rubbish towel rail from NEXT. Useless floppy crap because the design to fix it to the wall sucks. Looks nice though, just don't touch it! :( posted by jpa @ 4:14:00 PM guitar... Thursday, October 13, 2005 Where have all the guitar tutors gone? Do they fly south in October? It's not often I find the willpower to book some lessons, and I can't find any tutors available in Worthing. The last bloke I tried kept cutting off as it was ringing. Bah! Damn you, Caller ID. posted by jpa @ 8:42:00 PM
