    congrats on the plan B.
    Given her approach to running this business, never, but its keeping her happy....

    Thankfully my plan b is nearly ready to go and will happily run alongside contracting until it pays enough....

      Thanks for asking!

      Friday evening - not much.

      I am ill (took 2 days off being as I am a permie now and get paid anyway) and Mrs MUN is run down (report time for teachers along with a school inspection). Hence I am guessing we will both be asleep pretty early.

      Saturday:

      Take Mini and Micro MUN to gymnastics. Maybe find something to do with them in the afternoon and some friends are coming over in the evening. Will probably book a holiday at the Efterling for us all being as the kids love it there (and it is far better and cheaper than Disney).

      Sunday:

      Take everyone to church and doze for a few hours. Take the kids to an indoor play area or something, some friends are coming over for a play date (for the kids, no car keys involved) and then training in the evening if I feel better. Will get to hit people again, which will be nice!

        TFA!

        Tomorrow: sitting down very quietly. Been getting headaches lately.

        Saturday: shopping for wedding rings in the morning, then rugby, then heading to a friend's holiday cottage thing for drinks and food.

        Sunday: um. Coming home, maybe go for a ride if the weather's good?

        You got owt on?

                I remember staying in one while working at Cap Gemini in Utrecht, it was also quite nice, and quite posh.

                  MY daughter's been staying with us all week as she's working nearby. She's staying the weekend as well so all's good in my World.

                  Working from home Friday.

                  Saturday, taking the Bentley for a drive in the New Forest and to try out the new camera for real before we go on holiday. Out for dinner in Winchester in the evening.

                  Sunday, a few jobs to do around the house and might pop down the pub for lunch if it's nice.

                      TFA. More interesting than last weekend.

                      Fri: GF#1's daughter is staying over, so wine, wine, wine, more ribeye steaks with peppercorn sauce and leftover dauphinoise potatoes
                      Sat: Finding a birthday pressie for GF#1 and then off to Bristol to dine in GF#1's brother's Mexican restaurant
                      Sun: Slobbing around watching films, eating chocolates, ... and mourning the fact that we're not in the Netherlands with the Grub Club... goddamn you, hyperClient#1!!!!
