    FFS! Finished back breaking deliveries at 11pm. The last place was so pikey it was unbelievable. The old man was like the shaggy fella from Shameless and was wearing a string vest, covered in tattoos and was smoking a rollup. £3K worth of furniture they ordered. While I had a look at the Thai Tat that was around the house, she said. We've just moved in to this bungalow. We used to be next door!!! Ah, said I, just sold it have you.

    Nah, still own it. And the garage next door, and the land next to that, and that Tudor house at the bottom!!!!!!!!!! The Tudor house must have been worth about 800K FFS.

    I'm working for pikeys now!!! Least I got a £20 tip!

    Right it's 4am and I'm off to do job No 1, before coming back in 4 hours heading to the doctors and then heading to clientco. Be back at 8pm tonight.

    I'm definitely doing something wrong here!

    Just ran out. Up again. Went to bed at 7 after getting back from clientco.

    They took one look at me and suggested I go home.
    You gonna pay me I asked?
    No of course not!
    Well in that case I'll sit in that office over there!!
