Please tell me you're not working the next two weeks
or else you might go a bit mental. You poor thing!
( Maladicta, Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:02, Reply)

well, it's not going to do itself...
it's gonna be a tough 12 days...
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:04, Reply)

Gah, I'd help if I could.
You must be epically stressed...
( Maladicta, Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:06, Reply)

it's no wonder i'm on medication.
but there's nothing quite like a deadline to focus the mind.
or cause it to implode!
LOL

I'd agree with you there, actually; I work best under pressure.
Just a shame it usually nearly drives me mental, too...
( Maladicta, Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:10, Reply)

i've simply got too much to do in the time.
something will have to give.
i'll be doing a few late shifts.
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:17, Reply)

You'll have to I guess, are you your own boss?
That makes it easier.
( Maladicta, Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:25, Reply)

Yes he is
In case he's buggered off.

to quote Bill Hicks...
"the thought that ANYONE could be my boss? i think you see the problem."
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:32, Reply)

I was told I was too stroppy to have a boss when I was 17 or so.
If anything I think I'm stroppier now and for some reason I still have a job.
( Maladicta, Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:37, Reply)

yeah, i'm a self-employed Plumber with an apprentice.
so i have an advantage i guess.
the problem i find myself facing is that i have VERY high standards. and this work is for myself and my family so i'm not managing to compromise at all.
Bugger.

Bah, caught out by your own standards.
Still, the place will be absolutely palatial when you do move in, right?
( Maladicta, Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:30, Reply)

it's gonna be fooking gorgeous.
i completely gutted the place, absolutely removed every shred of it's previous identity.
all that remains of the original is the lower staircase and one internal wall. the rest is all new.

It sounds amazing!
I invoke POIDH when you're properly settled :)
( Maladicta, Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:38, Reply)

it's a deal!
TBH i'm getting a bit fed up with it now, it's gone on too long.
i'm more tired right now than i have ever been. but it's a strange kind of tiredness.
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:40, Reply)

Much obliged!
I bet you're fed up with it, I would be by now - where you can't see anything but what needs doing before it's all done...
( Maladicta, Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:41, Reply)

right now i'm not sure what to do next.
too much going on in my brain.
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:45, Reply)

Disengage brain for a bit.
Works for me.
( Maladicta, Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:46, Reply)

And has Gronzo cried off
With a ferret-induced injury?

There was a sign on the cage to the effect that if you poke your finger in these ferrets will vandalise you.

And he got bitten by a ferret!

I was sniggering all the way home with that memory.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Tue 20 Oct 2009, 20:59, Reply)

he was asking for that one! made me chuckle.
and i'm glad you enjoyed MY crispy cake.
you fiend.

and so is Gronzo.
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:07, Reply)

Yes, it was a mighty fine crispy cake.
Scoffed on Platform 2 at Preston Station.

A mighty fine cake.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:11, Reply)

Grrrrrrrr!
I DEMAND A CRISPY CAKE!
D'YA HEAR ME?

( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:13, Reply)

Well don't look at me.
Mrs Gronz makes the cakes.

Me and Gronz struck the deal while you were perving over passing Lancias.

I got the cake.

Your loss.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Tue 20 Oct 2009, 21:18, Reply)

Tony Iomi on Radio 2 right now.
Him and Geezer Butler had the idea of Sabbath in Silloth, believe it or not!

So it's not an absolute wasteland after all.

There you go.
Obviously I keep my steam powered computer in the cellar (because, of course, I've GOT a cellar) and therefore can't keep checking my Reddifusion black and white telly on a regular basis.

Time to retire to my four poster bed as the servants have now warmed the bedpans over the dog grate.
