Phew Christmas is over! Spent most of it in the car & getting up really early, travelling to relatives. Couldn’t really leave the little kittens alone on their first Christmas… I could do with a holiday now, shame have to go back to work.

Snow is forecast for the weekend, looks like Christmas is finally here!

Yet again my online bank, Cahoot, are having log-in problems – only if you use Safari. Everytime they ‘improve’ the log-in process, it all goes a little bit wrong. Although at least this time I was completely locked out, instead of being able to see all my accounts without putting in any security details like [...]

“Have you been asked any stupid questions yet today?” my boss asks. “Would you like to work nights over New Year in Reading?”, not really. “We’ll pay you lots”, oh go on then! Did think it would pay for a plasma TV, but I’ve been informed by the wife that I am incorrect. Maybe not [...]

Kittens love climbing the Christmas tree & playing with baubles. There’ll be no needles left on it by the time we get to the 25th. Didn’t dare venture into town this weekend, left that to the missus so she could attend the Debenhams cardholder event. That’s another word for ‘Sale’, but you can’t have a [...]

Grabbed a bit of a bargain from BA – return tickets to NY over Valentine’s weekend for £360 all in. Of course that also includes the missus, couldn’t really leave her behind. Nearly have enough points to stay the 4 nights in the Crowne Plaza, which seems to have fairly good reviews.
Found a great site [...]

New washer/dryer finally turned up today – only ordered it in October, but that meant that the model was no longer being made so they had to send a better one Missus parents have taken the ‘old’ one off our hands, fit quite nicely into the back of their car.
