Hello everyone!
Yay, there's some sunshine outside. Today I'll be making some explosives and deciding how I want to set up the fuse and trigger*. I knew my chemistry degree would start being useful one day.
HapPea Tuesday!

*I am speaking metaphorically, I hope!

You don't need a chemistry degree to make explosives. ;)

Afternoon all. Meeting this morning which meant that the Jaaaagggg got another decent run out.
So far so good, I think the only thing I don't like about it thus far is the making of phone calls on the bluetooth. The Merc was so much easier.
Perhaps that will change in time when I get used to the car.

Quick visit to the office and then home as someone has said they want the BMW, so hopefully I can shift that and keep the tax man happy for a bit.

No, it's not essential, but it does mean I can be "more creative" and I'm adept in making them very concentrated and potent without having them go off in my face! I could SO do Breaking Bad for real!

I got banned from Chemistry practicals 6 months before I took my Chemistry GCSE. I blew up the classroom.
If you need any help with explosions, I'm your man! :p:p:p

Morning all. Loads to do today. So better get on with it.

And having to field stupid offers for a 3 grand BMW!
One last night at 10pm. "Will you take 2 grand cash tonight" no, purely because no one buys a car at night, and not for a two thirds of what I want for it! Stop wasting my time!!!

Sounds similar to my one and only “gumtree” selling experience.
Ridiculous offers with words that sound like they think they’re doing you a favour.
Pxss off!

Last day of work in Spain for me and then a day of planes and trains to get back to Laval and semi retirement :)

First day back in the office today, which means getting up early and then using a train. I'm knackered already! Still, I'm hopeful that a day of work and a dinner tonight will be invigorating.

Is it nearly Friday yet?

Good morning everyone. To answer Mr Crud, I haven’t a clue how weeks work again since the Christmas break...Mrs MLC told me that it's something called a 'Wednesday' but I'm not sure whether that is good or not in relation to your 'Friday'... And as for getting to 'Payday', I'm totally lost....it might all come back to me by something called June but I've been informed that I'm on some expedition involving brain cell loss....can i retire now?

Morning all, another day of tantrums and tiaras, yes I understand you want everything but you only have limited budget and resources so prioritise what you need the most.

Morning all. Office bound today, with loads to do.

Sold the BMW last night, not for exactly what I wanted, but close. To be honest I just wanted shot of it in the end.
Remind me if I ever contemplate buying a BMW to get my head examined. Didn't like them before, and after my brief stint, I still don't like them.

However, the caveats to the are an 850 or 840 CSi or one of the old classics.

Job for after work is putting a tv on the wall for the man cave/garage, for my turbo trainer. What could possibly go wrong.....
