passed lorry test
I am buzzing at the moment. I have managed to pass my LGV (lorry) rigid driving test. It was a really difficult week having my driving picked to pieces but I managed to pull it together and comfo...
carnival
Went to North Petherton carnival on Saturday night with Mum, Dad, sister, brother in law and nephew and niece. It was a brilliant night out and nice to do an event as a family. I am strongly thin...
things r good
I have returned the faulty lamp that I purchased Mum for her birthday. The fantastic news is that the company are going to send me a free ‘sample’ of the same product that I can keep as long as I...
The last disco?
Saturday I completed what could be my last ever disco with my Dad as he is retiring due to his age and I am giving it as I want to cut down on my hours worked. It was an enjoyable event at a resi...
annoying work
So work was annoying today. I had a female co-worker who I don’t really like on duty with me to supervise the kids. She has been put in my area on a full time basis. So that’s going to make thing...
a good weekend
I went for a late night walk on Wednesday night around Portishead Marina. I love it up there at night, it is so peaceful and brings back a lot of happy memories of the time I spent up there doing...
waiting at work
I hate having to lock up at work when they have events. The events never finish on time and I end up hanging around like a spare part for ages. Tonight they had an event that was scheduled to end...
good weekend and fresh targets
The past couple of days I have started to get more and more excited about my up coming week of driving lessons and test for my lorry licence, I am counting down the working days with only 18 days...
Diet
I need to get my diet back on track. I am falling back into bad habits where I am eating junk at work and going to the shop where I am buying snacks along with my regular shopping. It is really a...
walking?
Yesterday turned out to be really nice. I had a nice Sunday afternoon with the parents. We went to a pub for a Sunday lunch, moving on for a walk around Ashton Court, finishing at a garden center...
update
At the moment things are generally on the up. It is almost a month since my last drink on the 6th September. My intention is to last 100 days without drinking. The first real test will be a weddi...
a horrible week
This week has been horrible. I have been massively unmotivated and have fallen back into old habits with eating. I need to turn this round as of now. I need to become more productive. The first t...
people going sick!
It is now looking very unlikely that I will take Thursday off sick and go for a driving assessment. The problem I have is that one of my co-workers has decided to go on the sick. If I go off that...
Spoilt birthday
I have been spoilt since Thursday with birthday celebrations with my family. It has been good but I have found it tiring as I have been out of the house every day. The high point was having my si...
application rejected
I managed to post two items up on Gumtree last night. Hopefully, this is the start of a successful campaign of selling all my old junk. A bit annoying that they removed one of my adverts as they ...
Work routine.
I am finding work really hard as my job involves constantly walking circles around the school site. The situation is not helped that I can’t stand one of my co-workers so I am trying to avoid bei...
manx pictures and yuck day at work
Today was my first day back at work after a two week break. It was also the first day back for the teaching and administration staff. The day turned out to be yuck with boring and dirty jobs with...
an annoying few days
Events since Thursday have really changed my mood. I was on a super high following a nice two weeks off work and a wicked trip up to the Far North of Scotland. I had a LGV category C assessment o...
focus review
It has been a long time since I have posted anything on here. For some reason I have been writing my thoughts in a book. However, the past couple of days I have had the urge to put an entry on he...
Lazy Saturday
I am not happy with how I performed at work yesterday. I was a bit too full of myself. I have been getting on too well with the ‘charge hand’ in my work place and that has given me a good confide...
disco and licence
The good news is that I managed to post my driving licence application form to the DVLA on Saturday. They should receive the application form on Tuesday. I hope it will only be a couple of weeks ...
drivers medical problem
I am feeling pretty stressed and annoyed at the moment. I had my driver’s medical at the doctors today and I made a complete mess of it by printing out and taking an out of date medical form. Luc...
isle of man trip and quick update
A visit to the Isle of Man last weekend turned out enjoyable despite the weather. I had a nightmare journey out with train delays leading to a missed ferry connection and a unplanned diversion to...
First entry and a new focus
It was my intention to create a new blog on Open Diary. However, having attempted to access the website for the first time in months, I discovered the website has been shut down and years of my o...
Book Description
Just moved over from Open Diary after discovering my old blog has gone with the rest of the OD site #shocker. Luckily, I was considering starting a new account to make an account of the ups and downs in my life. Making the most out of the fun and hurt I endure with work, family, friends and travel.
