Oh boy... one of those days...

I've got plenty of work to be getting on with, but every time I sit down and try to do something, the phone rings or I get dragged out somewhere. I've had a ricketty server, networking query, a non-working PowerPoint video and a logo email to get done, and they all interrupt the main flow of my mad PHP shinnanigans.

On top of that there's the house improvements: We've paid for the kitchen today, had calls about the bathroom and, on top of that, the boiler is still only three-quarters complete until Saturday. There are no plans for the radiators, garage door or burglar alarm sorted yet.

Oh, and we've just had a load of wood delivered. In the rain. This is all in preparation for knocking a new doorway into the loft at the end of the upstairs cupboard on Saturday, because the hatch in the bathroom is going to be covered.

Nasty Man!

Today I sold a €0.20 piece for £1 today. It's a little-known fact they fit in the slot of those 'pay-a-quid-deposit' trollies that all the major supermarkets (Aside from Tesco, strangely) and we keep kept one in the car for whenever we went shopping.

And of course, as it was raining while I went to return the trolley, I didn't want to hang about while someone fiddled with the one in front of me, and when this rather nice lady offered me a pound to take it off my hands well... I just took it and ran.

After all, a quid's a quid. At least.
