This coming Monday

Post by Porty » 22 Jan 2005, 12:32

Is apparently the most depressing day of the whole year. The long week before January pay being one of the major contributing factors. I suggest a group hug on the day.

Its my Mum's Birthday on monday (69) I must ensure she has a nice time. I'm taking her out tonight. She enjoys a Porty pub crawl. And I am being serious.

Currently 4.17pm and a not bad day so far! However, I am about to go to the gym in about 45mins time and that could take the smile off my face :?

Yes, the AA are good, but our new best friends are RAC Autowindscreens - what a service :D Back car windscreen very kindly panned in by some passing moron in Bellfield Lane at 6.30pmish, replaced by a very, very nice man by 9pm the same night!
Enough of your nonsense - get back to the Play Pen!
