Weekend Thread

Same as every weekend - build a bit more of my extension.

Got a nice family meal on Sunday, though - rather looking forward to that

9 days in a row of looking after a 9 month old a 10 and an 11 year old while my partner swans off to a wedding in the Caribbean as she is a bridesmaid. I'll be going back to work for a break afterwards I think.

Sorry to hear that Lockhouse, luckily most of it is only money. Sad to hear about Mrs Lockhouse that is scary. Miss V3 is currently being tested for allergies ( she is complaining of tummy ache too frequently even for the doctors). Allergies do seem frighteningly common nowadays.

I have a full dance card this weekend Mrs v is on a course so combine daddy day care with fitting a loo & mowing the lawn. I may fire up the Barzeebo and see if we can get a pizza out of it.

oops where are my manners - TFA

They let you loose with a soldering iron?

I'm a dab hand with my hot tip, I'll have you know!

TFA.

Just battening down the hatches for winter - garden furniture in the cellar etc. Lots of jobs around the house. Very quiet hopefully.

Been a tulip few weeks actually.

My wife's car has been written off - engine has blown, got a mega bill from the garage for all the new parts they fitted until they realised. So lost 5k for the car, plus 2.5k for the bill and now have to go out and buy her a replacement. I got my client letter this morning asking about my IR35 status so that's going to hit the fan shortly. My wife has been diagnosed with a late onset allergy - she now has to carry around Epipens. We went out for dinner last week to celebrate our anniversary and she nearly ended up in A&E with an asthma attack. Our dishwasher bit the dust. I spent £200 trying to get it fixed only to be told it was uneconomic. Waited three weeks for a replacement which had issues from day one and now that's gone wrong a week later and we have to wait another week for an engineer. No wonder I've been told my blood pressure is through the roof. I'm sure there's other stuff but that'll do for now.

Yourself? Hopefully less stressful than mine.

Time to trade in the wife for a newer model perhaps

Anyhoo going on the people’s march in London and having beer

Has V3 had a coeliac screen?

Unfit for purpose.

Demand a replacement.

Building one of these...

You?

Feeling nostalgic for CP/M are we?

I'm looking after next door's cat for a week.

I trust it won't die.

So NLyUK

So NLyUK

I have no complaints, in fact I'll give her a recommendation on LinkedIn.
(I've already given her a thumbs up on PornHub - other purveyors of implausible sex videos are available.)

Put the missus on the case. New one being delivered Wednesday.
