Overdue post

Hope everyone is ok today.
All my jobs done, bills paid etc. Thankfully. Thought it would be a bit tighter for money than it is this month after Crimbo.
Life at the moment is going ahead normally. Had  a drama this week when we bought a new bed for our daughter only to find we could not get it round the bannister post on the stairs. She was soo looking forward to sleeping in it. After a lot of attempts trying to force it round the bend on the stairs, we eventually got it up there. Or should I say D, and our neighbours did while I was at work. G's bedroom looks lovely now. More like a young girls room rather than a kids room. D did a great job sorting stuff out and tidying up etc. She's worked hard bless her. Was all worth it in the end. We now have a happy daughter.
Work is manic at present. It seems like everyone wants to ring up and complain. You would think we were under staffed the amopunt of calls we have coming through. Got my appraisal this week. Not sure if I'm looking forward to it though. Time will tell.
Our neighbours, who we all get along very well with have all but eventually sold their house. They are very excited about moving to their new home. I cant blame them. For a young couple, they have done very well for themselves and deserve it. They will be missed a lot.
On a final note. My thoughts go out to those people in Australia where there are major floods. I do hope my friends on Twitter are not caught up in any of it and that their families are safe.

Best wishes

After all the alcohol has stopped flowing and the bad head has kicked in, well a little bit anyway, I would like to wish you all a happy new year. May 2011 be a good one for you.

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms LIVE (On the Night, 1993) HD

I remember seeing this concert at Gatehead International Stadium. Amazing.

Ho Ho Ho lots of snow

Hi. I hope you are all gearing yourself up for the Christmas festivities. I am off work for about a week and really enjoying chilling instead of the stress of work. The snow is causing chaos in my area. Plenty of tailback and delays. At the moment its only a thin covering but with -6 temperatures. Even though the heating is on full, I can hardly feel it.
This week myself, D and G were at a friends 40th birthday party. We haven't seen Jennifer for years. It was good to see her after so long. It was a very good night. Plenty of my favorite Guinness was consumed that night. The drive home in the near blizzard conditions was a bit scary.This is a video I took out of the back window of the car.

Well, this afternoon I'm visiting work for our Christmas buffet and secret santa. Wonder what I will get.
