Just remember:

Well I only included the contracting hours there, I have the rest as well....

Not to worried about it tbh, the only members of my family who haven't gone past 100 have been killed by cancer so even if I do shorten my lifespan by a few years i'll still get a good innings.

(not to mention I fully expect to be able to replace any faulty body parts with cool bionic bits when I'm 60, become the next Steve Austin and live well into my second century. Need to get the cash together to pay for it though!!)

A fine tradition, just a shame there aren't any pits/mills to send them off to any more.

I've took 3 months off and now I don't think I could retire at all. I'd get too bored. I'm looking properly now, if I take any more time off I'm gonna start chewing the sofa.

My housing situation is fine

Yes I am looking for a house. Just Leicester doesn't really have any nice areas to move to the are close to the center and near the motorway. I could always move to spinney hills

Not having kids. If I do I'll make them work for their keep.

When the Mrs' poxy alarm goes off at 6:35

What time do you start work?
About 9/9:30 depending on how efficient I am in the morning

What time do you leave work?
Depends, normally 8.5 hours after I start.

What time do you get home?
Tend to go for a swim afterwork - so around 7ish.

But I have confidence that my looks and personality are of a sufficent calibre to keep the women away and actually make it a reality.
