Who Are You and What Do You Want?

Hello, hello yesi t's that time again, so.....

Last Monday work was fairly busy, i was upstair mostly printing off drawings for Paul and Mikey as they had a lot of drawings going out to Clients and Project teams.

Monday evening i played on my Wii for a bit before watching a bit of tv, Kieron was on his xbox but came off it fairly early because he didn't feel very well.

Tuesday was an eventful day, Kieron had been up and down all night as he wasn't very well and he didn't feel very so didn't go to work. Although i was really worried as he could hardly stand up and he described it as feeling really drunk (which i know is a common sign of Carbon Monoxide posioning!)

When i got to work i was very concerened and decided to call the National Grid on their emergency telephone number. I spoke to a very helpful gentleman, i explained the situation and he said they would send somebody within the hour.

Not so long after Kieorn rang me and told me the engineer had been round and we had a massive gas leak! He had shut off all the gas (which meant no hot water or boiler!) as it was very dangerous. So with this i then rang British Gas (our gas providers) and told them the situation and the very unhelpful woman told me an engineer would come out the next day to give us a quote on the work but it could take up to 3 weeks before anybody could fix it!!!!!!!!!! I was not happy.

That evening me and Kieron sat on our sofa with the duvet around us as it was freezing cold, we watched some tv and then went to bed.

Wednesday another exciting day, Faye was booked in to go to the vets for her operation, i dropped her off just gone 8am and was told to ring about 2.30pm to check if she was ready for collection.

I played on Wii most of the day with Kieron helping and watching me, but it wasn't long before British Gas arrived. He did some tests and he told us it was the pipe that leads to the gas fire which was leaking. So we decided just to get the heating back on and hot water again we asked him to cap the pipe off and we would get it fixed at a later date, and he did it there and then (which was a relief although at a cost of £74!!!).

It only took him 30mins to do and put the boiler back on! Me and Kieron popped into Cotteridge as Kieron wanted to buy Fifa 2008 we did that and a little mooch around before going home.

That afternoon i rang the vets to check on Faye and they said she would be ready for 3.30pm! Me and Kieron went and fetched her and she looked really miserable. She had got one of those stupid lampshade collars on and she really didn't like it. We got her back home and she running round like a headless chicken. I think she was just frightened and sore but within two seconds she had pulled the collar off and there was no way we were getting it back on!

So it was a speedy drive back down to the vets who somehow got it back on her! We got Faye home again, and she finally settled down and fell asleep. It really made me upset to see her so distressed, but at least she will be free to go out as much as she wants.

We also had to cut the collar so that she could reach her food properly, she looked really silly!

Thursday it was back to work as usual, well sort of! I had just made morning drinks when the door rang. It was a guy from Nolans (one of our structual engineer consultants) i thought he might be coming to collect some drawings, but when got to my office he said he had come for the Perry Park Meeting (what meeting???) with that everyone else from the team started turning up as well and i hadn't got a clue. So i rang Dave Richards who's at Armstrong Burton (and who is now in charge of the Selco projects) to see what was going on and he confirmed that there was a meeting.

Well it would have been nice to have known before hand!!! So i showed eeryone into the meeting room and made them all drinks.

A bit later the door rang again and it was a gentleman who was meeting Derek. Again i didn't bloody know!!!! So i sat him down and made him a drink, whilst waiting for Derek.

Derek finally arrived and went into his meeting .

Thursday evening i was glad to get home and relax i just watched tv for the evening and then Kieron came and joined me.

Friday was, thankfully, a quiet day. We were all going over to Armstrong Burton's offices for a team meeting. We left the office at 3.30 and got there for just gone 4pm. We were shown around by Sally who basically does the same job as i do!

We were then given a drink and sat in their meeting room. Derek went over the new jobs that had come in recently followed by Peter who gave them a bit more info about us lot and the kind of jobs that we do. It only lasted 20mins and then there was a buffet!

It had gone 6pm and Malcolm kindly gave me a lift home. I was so relieved to sit down and enjoy a nice bottle of wine!

Saturday was a nice day i went round to see mum, nan and grandad and we had our usual afternoon wine and cake. I was there until about 5pm before going home. That evening i met up with Dan, Rosey and Richard at the Reservoir where we partly watched the rugby. It was a nice evening and it was good to catch up with Richard!

We stayed there untill closing and then headed off home.

Sunday i decided to chill out, i played my Wii for most of the day before going to do the shopping. We came back and Kieron did some dinner and i then fell asleep for 20mins on the sofa.

That evening i went down to nans as usual, Aunty Jan and Mark were also there as they were watching the other semi-final of the rugby.

And that's about it for this week, so see you next week!
