Excellent Dave. Must be a relief.

Thanks tomtom 



On another occasion, I managed to get the house repossessed! I'd been given a final payment deadline, but the payment date coincided with a bank holiday weekend - clever that.
Anyway, I'd kept to my side of the bargain, and delivered a bank draft to the solicitors, before setting off for a stint of work in Dublin (along with the esteemed mrJonathanr and others).
Of course, the payment wasn't processed until after the estate agent had broken in and changed the locks. One of the other guys got a call, to tell me that there was now a notice in my front window saying "this property has been repossessed etc. Got it sorted, but a minor drama!

Yep, got one of those waiting in the cellar. £3 right there!

That is fantastic news Dave - and a bloody amazing effort. Well done! One of the best YYFYs we've ever had I think.

That sounds like a massive weight lifted from the shoulders, Dave. Nice one

Filled in a feedback form after buying bike from Evans Cycles and got £250 voucher in lucky draw!

[a dense loner]

I filled that form in, where's my voucher?!

[slackline]

Your form must have gone into the 'unlucky draw'.

[a dense loner]

Story of my life! Weird that the last form I filled in got me what I wanted then.

[SA Chris]

Looks like you are one of a decreasing number..

[a dense loner]

it doesn't matter anymore

on the face of it, this weekend was going to be a bit meh....

taking kids to several parties, dance rehearsals and sitting through a dance show

rain forecast on Saturday

40th birthday party for a friend of Mrs Starfish - mostly made up of Brexiteering Mosboroughites, which usually means that I end up drinking a lot as a coping strategy

anyway....

the little lad went with someone else's parent to his party on Saturday, which freed up some time for me - similarly, Mrs Starfish managed a run while middle child was at a party (and if Mrs Starfish is happy, then I am happy). I used the time to work on the van (Grumpycrumpy's old van) and fixed the back door handle and opening mechanism as well as the lock and the central locking switch. I also fitted the rear seat/bed with the willing help of the lad after he got back; so the van now has sleeping capacity. no money was spent - just used shit from my shit collection. proper BA Baracus moments.

the 40th party went well - good snacks included homemade cheese straws and sausage rolls - I drank a lot of Stella and danced with a lot of interesting women (including Mrs Starfish). No Brexit supporting Mosborough men were on the dance floor.

massive hangover this morning- Mrs Starfish had to drive us back from Halfway in the morning

my Dad's Taxi shift finished unexpectedly early today and Mrs Starfish pointed out that I had time to go climbing. I had not expected to have this opportunity, which contributed to my unconstrained alcohol consumption last night. My Bad Ankle was very bad due to dancing a lot, but I headed out to do some Easy Mileage. Burb N parking was rammed, so I headed to the plantation (got my Stand up fo' Stanage sticker, so might as well use it, eh?). threw up on the way up the hill, seemed to be moving OK on the rock, knocked off a few 6s and even a couple of 7s, felt Good, stopped at the parking for Apparent North and walked over to Higgar East - threw up again - climbed OK. knocked off a few things in reasonable style at burb W and N before getting home... in the van that I had been fixing up the day before

even the dance show (even the bits without middle child) was pretty good

now looking forward to tomorrow night - teachers are on strike Tuesday and I'm not at work that day, so I can take the kids to sleep out on the newly fitted bed in the van

PSYCHED!   

*edit* drinking to excess is not big or clever

Great tale Lagers

A true hustlers performance - drag your hungover carcass out of bed and perform like a hero.

Nice Lagers
