Been a bit of a long week down in Crawley again. Was supposed to be in Greenwich, then was told to go to Bristol then ended up in Crawley… Got the box working eventually, then upgraded so it can launch. Every problem was just carelessness, not on my part, but it’s so hard to find [...]

February 22, 2004Well the kitchen’s finally finished – been a week without a cooker or washing machine, but it was worth it. Floor & wall tiles went on yesterday, and today was grouting. Washer & uber-fridge/freezer *just* fit. It’s almost like it was all measured & planned! We’ve also replaced the rest of the fence in the [...]

February 19, 2004Kitchen is going in well – most of the units are built, and some are even attatched to the walls now. Hopefully after today it will just be a case of tiling bits of the walls & the floor. No major problems (yet!), fingers crossed. Missus turned up a day early for her driving test [...]

February 17, 2004Having fun playing with yet another new phone, Nokia 6600. Have to keep swapping back to my old one when I go in the car. It’s like they change the connectors on purpose! Will have to get a Bluetooth car-kit installed I think, don’t know if work will shell out for that though.

February 16, 2004Had a great Valentines weekend in Sheffield – the romance capital of Yorkshire Lots of walking around the city & MeadowHall although we didn’t really get much. The missus loved the bathroom in the hotel; all limestone, two big sinks & a jacuzzi bubblebath. She’s easily pleased! Had a very quick trip up [...]

February 10, 2004WLAN is back up & working in Bristol, don’t know how long it will last – will have to work out who’s it is, maybe come to an ‘arrangement’ if they lock it down again? Mike’s been building his new kick-ass 64bit computer. Might only be 63 bits, you know how you always have one [...]

February 8, 2004Had the kitchen delivered – it’s taken up most of the spare room, with just a little gap left for Kirstin to do her work. Part of the fence fell down in the night, not the bit we replaced last year, so it wasn’t much of a surprise. So that gives me something to do [...]

February 7, 2004Told HSBC where to stick their credit-card after waiting over 3 months for it, then them sending it to the wrong address in Lincoln! Went into the branch & was told I had to phone them, so waited on hold then got told I had to do it in the branch… :-/ Grr arg!

February 3, 2004Stuck in the office again, due to general disorganisation. At least I’ve finally managed to catch up on the past few months’ expenses.. :-/ Mike’s suggestion is to call the better half the ‘Current Mrs Lawson’ or the ‘First Wife’ once hitched, to keep her on her toes…. I wonder what joys the canteen will [...]

February 1, 2004Spent the morning removing very nasty wallpaper from the ceiling & walls of the kitchen. Fish are having to move upstairs for the moment, until the kitchen is done. Hope they enjoy their new temporary home. Going to Crawley this week for work – few of us going, should be good fun.
