So it’s 2pm, and I’m still waiting for the Sky engineer!  He had the nerve to phone me at 8am to say he wouldn’t be here until between 2pm – 5pm- my day is wasted!  Mmmmm… what can I get out of Sky now? Updated: Well, apparently I can get nothing.  At 2.30pm I get a call from a guy who announces himself as “Tony” – I’m sorry Mr Wake, our engineer has broken down in the SL4 Postcode area and you will not be getting a visit today.  Maybe next weekend?  I explain that I would like to complain...

Food Intake: 1 Quarter Pounder with Cheese and Chips Alcoholic Consumption: 1 Glass of Wine and Counting Nicotine Dependency: Lots I know, I know – I try to give  each title of my day a theme and this one is alarmist!

Its a sad state of affairs though when at the tender age of 31 I have to have all my...

Well yes I did answer the call of the Pinot and found it very difficult to get out of bed this morning!  Even the dog refused the stir from his slumber this morning but thankfully, there was an ironed shirt in the walkin wardrobe meaning that the time was not wasted – in my eyes only of course.  I worry that leaving my house at 6.30am puts unnecessary strain on the dog – I wont get home until 7.30pm – the poor thing.  With the household away its up to me to try and make sure that he’s ok and...

I often find its very difficult to look ahead on a Monday.  For me, its a time for reviewing the week that has just gone by, looking at where I could have done better in life and trying to convince myself that I’ll never make the same mistake(s) again! But why must we be so hard on ourselves?  Often, we cruely judge our own actions and forget that there are so many people in our lives that will do that for us! I’ve decided that this time, I will try and update my Blog every day.  I have kept so...
