Thats the first week of the year gone by, seems such a long time since the New Year, I went back to work on Tuesday and It's been quiet all week everybody has over spent over eaten and still suffering from the festive period hang over.
I've managed to get a nasty cold which shows no signs of abaiting, i'm so bunged up with a hacking cough, not very nice.
It seemed to rain all day today and at work it flooded the cellar and the bar, we had to close early and it took us 45 mins to mop all the water up, as were not there tommorrow on Monday I'll probably find the pub full of water and the wooden floors buckled again!
Last night the journey home was eventful firstly there was an apparent suicide bid at Chelmsford which had been going on for 3 hours so all the trains backed up they stopped our train at Shenfield telling us there would be a replacement bus service of course that was'nt the case so we waited and waited eventually we got back on a train and I arrived home at 4am, my heart goes out to those who feel that life has got them down to such an extent that they feel the only course of action is to commit suicide, OI do hope the man gets the help that he needs. And of course the trains were delayed this morning due to "engineering works" all this for £3ooo+ per year.
Boots have a special offer on the stop smoking patches so I've bought a course so as from tommorrow will attempt again to give up smoking fingers crossed I'll manage it this time.
I'm still trying to buy a winter coat the choices they have are really poor, there is a shop near work and they do sheepskin coats I thought it said for £179 so in I went tried on this fantastic coat this will do I looked at the price tag and it was £799 so I took that off sharpish quite a good advertising ploy I think because when I looked again the price tag was partially hidden, I'll try tommorrow when I go into town might be able to pick up something in the sales.
I'm actually going to cook having lamb done in red wine and redcurrant sauce done in the slow cooker with roast pots parsnips carrots, It'll taste even better on Monday proper winter comfort food yum.
thats it for now
