Is the first day back in work after Xmas / New Year the worst day of the year? First day back after summer holidays is bad but at least the weather's warm-ish then :closed:

Poacher turned game-keeper
I think it is the worst day of the year. So much so I usually book off the first day after the bank holiday, just so I don't have to face it quite so soon. I forgot this year though and paid for it early on with a broken car and a delayed train. Then Costa was shut. Work has been relentless. Now on my (delayed) train home. And just had the car fixing bill - £220. PFFT. Not a good first day back to the grindstone, but quite a good day for my mechanic.
It was on the news this morning that today is the worst day for car breakdownsOriginally Posted by OneHillWonder
Today's new wellies, Neoprene, 100% waterprooof and bloody warm to boot. Not cheap at £49 but have saved £80 in 20p's. Off for a muddy dog walk:thumbup:

Yes I saw that too Alf! Some bloke was wittering on about batteries and the like. Didn't mention water pumps did he though, pfft! Thankfully I didn't actually break down en route to work, it was making a funny noise before the weekend so decided to get it to the garage pronto. Wouldn't have liked being stuck waiting for the AA (other recovery services are available) somewhere out there in this weather today :thunbdown:Also, this doesn't explain why Costa was shut :angry:
Oh I am very envious merrysteve :thumbup: Although I did get some new wellies for Xmas, with liquorice allsorts on 'em. They ain't warm though :closed:
Mine av nowt on em but they'll cope with allsorts, 3m muddy headtorch walk with muttpaws, warm and dry feet, even jogged a bit in em.
Hope your second day back is better than the first OneHill

Me too MerrySteve :thumbup: Early night for starters, good night's sleep I hope, coz I missed off my whinge list that I hardly slept last night zzzZZZ.
Hope your second day back was better than my first OneHill, highlight of the day was getting rain and windlashed coming home on bike, it were that bad. Sod this working till you drop, i need to retire next week!
On the plus side reckon i bought them wellies at the right time, dog walk tonight was like wading through a river. They have conquered the most slippy downhill cobbles ever to be cobbled together by a cobbler known to man tonight. I been on my backside many times on said cobbles but tonight the arse remained airborne. I've been a wellie fan all my life, but i have now met the wellies of my dreams. Even have a slightly elasticated top so no wellie slap on calves. I could go all night but the wellies are yawning and need to be snuggled up.................is it a crime to love your wellies:w00t:
I've been borrowing the daughter's Hunters wellies for a few days now to take the dog out and they are brilliant! I want some!
