The railway station where I drop my daughter had not opened up this morning and the entry shutters were still down and locked :confused: There was a group of very disgruntled commuters outside wondering if someone had had a lie in. I drove her to the next station which was open and she got on a half empty train for once.
:w00t: Me!
But very busy at werk today :thunbdown:
I'm not alone :thumbup:Quote:

The other thing is something is bound to go wrong when I change internet provider and I will end up having to work from the office while it is sorted out and as I haven't got a permanent desk there anymore it could involve a lot of faffing about :thunbdown:

Just talking to myself as usual. The cat is fast asleep on the bed at the moment so can't even "talk" to him. Its a lonely old life being a homeworker http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/t...bit/violin.gif:DQuote:

You clearly don't work here! We usually go home to do large file transfers as the bandwidth in the office is total garbage!Quote:

Not much going on at work here, so nipped out for a snow run, and cold it was!
First time in the office for over a year today and I am surrounded by strangers! I haven't missed the daily log jam on the M60 though :thunbdown:

Apparently Punxsutawney Phil forecast good weather for a change but not over here judging by this week's weather forecast.
Its been a slow morning http://i592.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps5a0f46a1.gif
Just had my first round of pancakes this year :thumbup: I managed 5, with various toppings. Some traditional (lemon juice/sugar) and some extra special ones (choc syrup, banana).
YUM! Good job I am not partaking in the overweight to race weight thread :w00t:
Aye, pancakes here too. Just three of 'em!
GF is away this week so that's it though.
Butter and sugar. The king of trad toppings :w00t:
Golden syrup, banana with vanilla sugar, honey.
Raspberry jam
Its not Tuesday!!!!
10/10 for observation. I asked Stef a while ago what day Shrove Tuesday is on this year :oQuote:

Plus she was offering me Sunday dinner as a pre-pancake warm up, so it would've been rude not to ;)Quote:

Good thinking Alf ;) Forward planning so you can load up on pancakey goodness.
I am hungry NOW. I want pancakes.

Pancake day? That crêped up quickly on us again :closed:
"You smell that? Do you smell that? Pancakes, son. Nothing else in the world
smells like that. I love the smell of pancakes in the evening" :D
Boogeration! My pancake specialist daughter is currently in Melbourne whilst the daughter still available for pancake duty is so freakishly uber fit as to not touch 'carbs' with a barge pole in the evenings. I'm pancake-less :thunbdown:
Edit: This has nothing to do with getting them to cook them by the way (I like doing that) but just that making and eating pancakes on your own is kind of sad :)
It is kind of sad, however I am home alone tonight and I might sneakily have some shhhhhh!
NOooooooo, its a diet day and weigh in day tomorrowQuote:
