40th birthday in a couple of weeks....so i should be feeling bad!
Luckily i have 2 surprise holidays coming up that i know nothing about as a present from the Mrs. The only way i know about them at all is because i have had to book time off work.
so on the 20th July i'm off somewhere for a week just with the Mrs (hoping that it will be somewhere i can tick of my list of things to do i.e Catch a Marlin (Madeira good for this) and dive in a cage with great whites).
Then back for a day and fly out again bur this time with my little girl as well. I suspect this will be a bit more normal package / all inclusive hotel somewhere in Europe.

3 weeks in Florida in 20 odd days.
Last night my 2 girls were playing Dr Who in the garden. Amy ( 5 ) was chasing her big sister round the swings shouting " EXTERMIMATE, EXTERMIMATE "
Tomorrow is my eldests 9th birthday. I asked her what she hopes to get last night and she told me " A pink small digital camera "
That's good because I've bought her a Pink Sony Cybershot.

I have a new hybrid cycle arriving Friday. That should make me smile after the knackered 15 year old MTB I rode yesterday.
To help I've planned a short trip through Notts. For anyone interested (probably no-one
) it's Mapperley - Carlton - Gedling - Burton Joyce - Lowdham - Gonalston - Thurgaton - Halloughton - Southwell - Oxton - Epperstone - Woodborough - Mapperley Plains. That should get the heart pumping

Breakfast on the Beach does it for me ... MX5 comes out of the garage at 4am ... a lazy drive down to the beach on the South coast, through the New Forest ... bar-b-que lit on the beach ... bacon butties and sausages in rolls ... if the mackeral are running I'll get the rod out and catch a couple, gut them on the beach and straight on the barbie.
Sit and watch the morning go by ...... excellent!
For the price of 4 gallons of petrol - the best things in life cost very little ...

The prospect of thousands of idiots being repossessed and thrown out onto the street, the pound collapsing against the euro and loads of low life UK idiots not being able to afford to pollute the mainland.
Add to that the credit crunch, high oil prices and the general crap being suffered by people I dislike intensly and it all combines to give me, someone totally unaffected by any of these matters, an intense sense of happiness/smugness.

Although i wasn't looking and was happy being an unemployed bum, i have been head hunted for a fantastic new job and will be starting in Two weeks.
...Which is right next to a flight school where i can finish my flying lessons to get my licence.
I'm also looking forward to going to Goodwood next week and the Royal International air tattoo as well.
Life is good

I've got enough work booked in to take me to Christmas and a bit beyond, so at the moment life's good
Never know how long it may last, though.

Well, I hated my last job and I knew they wer making cuts so I asked for redundancy.
Despite my manager trying to persuade me to stay, I said I want to go and he is a good guy, and sorted it out for me.
So I got a nice payoff (4 weeks salary for every year I've been there - 5 - tax free!), seven week paid holiday. Got a new job paying me 50% more than the old one!
On the downside, having a couple of issues with the g/f but will hopefully sort that this weekend...

40th birthday in a couple of weeks....so i should be feeling bad!
Luckily i have 2 surprise holidays coming up that i know nothing about as a present from the Mrs. The only way i know about them at all is because i have had to book time off work.
so on the 20th July i'm off somewhere for a week just with the Mrs (hoping that it will be somewhere i can tick of my list of things to do i.e Catch a Marlin (Madeira good for this) and dive in a cage with great whites).
Then back for a day and fly out again bur this time with my little girl as well. I suspect this will be a bit more normal package / all inclusive hotel somewhere in Europe.
