    What a morning

    My alarm went off this morning at 4:30 am. Mad dart around the house in an attempt to get out. As I was leaving spotted that the puppy had done a massive tulip on the stairs. Turfed him out in the garden to shiver for a bit while I cleaned it up. Then into the car and off to Liverpool airport via my accountants to post some stuff through his door. Got to the airport for about 6 and was looking for change to pay for the fast track security access when I realised I'd left my wallett, passport and boarding pass at home.

    Spoke to the girl at EasyJet as was told that if I could get home and back in under 2 hours then she could put me on the evening flight for 43 quid. Not a chance of that heppening then! So 70 quid for the tuesday flight and add that to the 350 I lost for not making it in.

    Then I had to argue with the parking people because they wanted to charge me another 20 q2uid to park my car in Liverpool. Even though I'd paid from Monday to Friday they still wanted me to rebook!!

    Arrived back home for 7:30 and waited with my son for his taxi to turn up. By 8 no taxi had arrived. I called them and they hadn't even allocated a driver yet, even though they have to be here by 7:45. Drove him to school. At school I spoke to his TA who took over from the nasty bitch my son used to have and she told me that she's leaving at the end of the school year - She was with my son through pre school and juniour school so that news will go down like a tulip sandwich.



    Also noticed that my keyboard inserts a 2 after each q2 I type!
    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

              Actually she doesn't hit me with a newspaper and it was the Vespa that tripped me up - and my big feet!
