Back up to my old tricks

Author: rhodzy  //  Category: its personal

I know I said I wouldn’t do this any more because I was happy but after having a week off work, I have decided to change the theme on my site yet again.

I think I am finally happy (for now) with the theme but like most good things, they always come to an end, and no doubt next year I will be changing the theme again.

Sorry people!!

What have I been upto?

Author: rhodzy  //  Category: its personal

So I haven’t blogged for a while, there is a good reason for that but at present i can’t really say anything about it, yeah sorry but it’s not very interesting either.

As I write this i am currently sat in my car, in a muddy puddle on a country lane somewhere near Gainsborough, why? The dogs are getting groomed which takes 2 hours and I can’t be bothered to drive anywhere or for that fact get anything to eat.

Not really been up to much this month apart from the usual:

        ?        Working
        ?        Cleaning the house
        ?        Playing on the WiiWii reviewsWii reviews
        ?        Playing on the 360
        ?        Playing on the PS3

So you know the usual guy stuff.

Christmas Party

I had a very great time in Bournemouth for our Company Christmas party which I had to miss last year, still it ended up in a few of us drinking, dancing, acting around, chatting and also meeting people for the first time who we speak to on a day to day basis which was nice.

We started drinking at 3:30pm and quite a few of us were still up at 4:30am, me being me was trying to find a kebab shop at the early hours of the morning but when no one would come and have a walk into town with me I gave it up as a bad job, plus not sure if any would have been opened at 4:45am :-/ I guess that is one question I will have to find the answer to before next time!

On the way home I called off at McDonalds where I felt the need to buy two large meals (1 large quarter pounder meal and also a large McChicken sandwich meal) I ate the quarter pounder meal before I set off again and also had the McChicken sandwich meal when I got home, was really nice to have it cold too! Just the way I expected!

I got home around 3:30pm and was greeted from my wife and 2 dogs, the wife wasn’t best pleased as she thought i would fetch home a McDonalds and when she realised I had 2 on the way up it made her angry, you wont like her when she’s angry! But I was feeling fresh and wide awake! To say I had just done a 4.5 hour drive I was really surprised how I was feeling and decided we should go shopping to get christmas decorations.

We got back from the shop, I got the tree out of the loft and then it happened….

Yep I made the mistake of laying down for 2 minutes and then my wife took this photo of me, completely out, this infuriated her some more as she was now left to put the entire tree up all by her self and she didn’t even want to do it in the first place.

Weeks annual leave

Yep I decided to take a full week of leave to use all of my remaining holiday days up, this has been great, although saying that I haven’t really done much and I have to work all over christmas, it’s going to be interesting to see what I can achieve in the next couple of days.

Have a Great Christmas and a happy New Year!

I just want to say I hope you all have a very Merry ChristmasMerry Christmas reviewsMerry Christmas reviews and a Happy New YearHappy New Year reviewsHappy New Year reviews!

Oh and I also got very muddy!!

How strange, same thought last year

Author: rhodzy  //  Category: life

I have just been looking through my blog posts for december 2007 where I found this post

It’s really got me thinking because I was only thinking that I cannot get into the christmas spirit this year either, this year is not something to do with moving house but something a little more serious and will be very glad when it’s over. It’s kind of taking over my mind this year and I guess it will till the end of the year, just be glad when it’s all over.

Christmas is over over rated and just an excuse to spend lots and lots of money and buy people presents that they don’t even want.

Bah humbug – really starting to think am turning into the Grinch.
