Who else is working today?

[Deleted member 9966]

I nominated myself for a day at work, more so because I knew it would be quiet with many others off and only the production and maintenance people in. I'm hoping to get lots done without interruption today.

So, who else is working? Working on a job? Working on something because the wife said so? Or just working on a plan to get out of the house before the kids drive you mad?

And who has the pleasure of celebrating the long weekend with a beer?:8:

I've took the day off, [emoji16].
Need to take car down to my mates garage & get him to look at it for me though.
For a lazy day, away fishing tomorrow then dropped off in Glasgow at my mates & out on the town for the wife's birthday.
Back to the grind on Monday if I can be bothered. [emoji6]

Liking the plan Stef :smilewinkgrin:

Don't talk to me about cars and garages... mine needs a recon gearbox. Been driving it around for a year but finally biting the bullet and getting quotes :'( I'll be selling Mr GRR's tool collection to part fund it at this rate.

We have an Alfa Brera & it's one thing after another with it.
It was my wife's uncles car & we ended up with it after he died, brilliant cars to drive but murder to run.
It's a 57 plate & only done 40k but you would think it's done 240k.
Their all good when running.

Having only had one Sunday afternoon off in the last 3 weeks I'm having a long weekend off. Well, I say off but I'm sure SWMBO will find me something to do when I get back from walking the dogs in the mountains.

Trust me Andy I would rather have felt better and been working. I got Viral meningitis about 12 years ago and I thought it could have been that again.

Ashbourne isn't too far away for me, and we go camping over that way a fair bit too. Visited Dovedale and the stepping stones recently too. The Peak District is such a lovely place and a lot of people don't realise they're just 40 minutes drive from it.
