    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!
    and to finish it off you spent 20 mins informing a load of people who don't give a toss and will just end up taking the p*ss for the rest of the day

    Makes my sad boring Monday look positively rosey in comparison lol. We need one of these every Monday now I think!

      If it's any consolation, I know a few people who have forgotten their passport once, but I don't know anybody who's forgotten it twice, so you're probably set now.

        Bad2 move. When I was flying back and forth to customer’s site in Johnny Foreigner land; I mad2e it a point to get on site even if I lost out in travel costs eg: paying through the nose for a full fare flight. I did not want customer to think that because I was travelling from Blighty it would be an excuse for not turning up. It d2id2 make a difference and I was offered2 numerous renewals.

                  They'll simply hire more Civil Servants at a greater cost to the public purse!

                  Btw, if one of you HMRC bints is the one that grabbed my arse in Mulligans, next time I will kick your mates arse!

                    I thought they were trying to cut down in HMRC, but with the current growing budget deficit in place they might need to cut down a bit more?

                      you'd punch a friend of someone who grabbed your arse????

                      surely ANYONE grabbing YOUR arse is a compliment (apologies CM)
