We are Limited!

Hello once again fellow bloggers

It's time for another update so last Monday was a very interesting day at work. For the past 6 months Peter and Dave (the Partners) have been having long, secret meetings with each other. We all knew something was going on but what, we did not know, however all was revealed on Monday.

For the past year Dave has wanted to retire, and at Christmas 2006 one of the guys that used to work for us was going to take Dave's share, although there was a big argumetn and they fell out and the guy left - leaving Peter ad Dave in a bit of a situation.

So nothing was done until now, they gathered everybody in the meeting room at 3pm and we were told they had sold the business. We were now officially PD Architects Limited (which is new) part of Armstrong Burton Group. But even though we were part of a Group we were still PD Architects, working in the same offices with the same people. Dave was to be a consultant and would only be working 2/3 days a week and Pete was to be Chief Executive. On the plus side we get a few more days holiday, we get private health insurance and 5 times a year we would be going on team building exercises and activites (which we have never done before and they're on a Friday afternoon!). We were all happy with the decisions and that was that. We were all to meet the director of Armstrong Burton later on in the week.

So on to Tuesday, not alot happened at work although i went into town and got my new phone. I now have the Sony Ericsson K810i which i'm very pleased with. In the evening Kieron had made Spag Bol and he even got wine and lit candles, which i thought was sweet. He was apologising for the night before as we had a little argument but it was all sorted.

So Wednesday, 1st August - the official day of change at work. It was also the day we were to meet the Director of Armstrong Burton, Deerk Burton. He arrived at 2pm and just went through what Dave and Pete had already told us. He explaing more abouth the company and how we would fit in etc etc. He mentioned that in a couple of weeks he and his office manager Janet, would be coming back in to talk to us individually!

Dave bought us cakes for afternoon tea and then we went out for a drink after work. We closed 30mins earlier, Dave's wife Dianne came with us aswell. We popped next door to the Tarnished Halo and celebrated Dave's retirement and the new PD Architects Limited. I stayed for an hour and then went home. I was really hungry, Kieron had sorted himself out so i done myself Sausage, Mash, Onions and Gravy it was delicious!!!!

Thursday went unusually quick, i didn't seem to be doing alot when it was already 4pm - i was really amazed! I just watched some tv in the evening while Kieron was playing his xbox, although he turned it off really early as he was annoyed some of the lads on there!!

Friday again went really quickly. Dave wasn't in the office (it was one of his days off) and me and Pete spent most of the day typing up minutes from one of our site meetings. Friday evening was spent with a nice bottle of wine and I watched Big Brother the eviction which was hilarious and then carried on watching some more Friends.

Saturday was a good day, me and Gaz were taking mum into town so she could choose a birthday present. We got into town for just gone 10am and slowly going round the shops. Gaz also wanted to pick a few things up for his holiday to Turkey. We had a good look round, Gaz managed to find some nice shirts and light trousers for his holiday, mum bought a top and trousers from Evans and a CD from HMV which she bought using her birthday money and she also found some shoes in Clarkes. She had the choice of two pairs and couldn't make up her mind so me and gaz bought her a pair each which were her birthday prezzie!

We left town about 2pm and went back home. I had to quickyl go back to the flat to get some electricity but i then went down to mums as Nan and Grandad had come up as usual. We had a cake and our afternoon wine and we sat around chatting. I had to leave at 5 as i was going out for a meal. I got home and had a shower and got ready as i was to meet Rosey, Dan, Emily and Jim in Solihull for 7.30pm.

We went to the Indian under Solihull Ice Rink, Spicewoods. It was very nice and the prices were very good as well. I had a chicken Dupiaza which was nice and mild and a garlic naan. We were there until 10pm and afterwards decided to go back to our cars for a chat. We stayed for a little while watching the chavs drive their cars round and round at a stupid speed, but we said our farewells and i got home just turned 11pm, Kieron was still up watching tv so i joined him for a bit before going to bed.

Sunday we went and got the shopping and mowed the front lawn as it was getting into a bit of a state. We had lunch, watched some tv and then i went down to my nans as usual for tea. Gaz didn't come down as he had gone out somewhere, where i don't know so i'm waiting for him to update his blog so i can find out!!!

So that's it for another week from me, see you laters
