If it's the later, will it be that bad if you don't log on for a few hours or could it be that you'll gain more by being truly rested after a few days genuinely away from work?

Rugeley Villa Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Old folk who hurt themselves but insist that they are ok and refuse to go hospital. Also old folk who have too much pride and would rather maul heavy stuff about by themselves instead of asking for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be the same at JLR, but instead we'd get the Monday and Tuesday off. So Friday sucked but once Tuesday rolled around you were laughing. At the new place we don't get Good Friday or the Tuesday. So now I'm miserable. That's pretty **** shit, so much for work life balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I'm working tonight, off sat & sun night then back in Monday and Tuesday night. 19:30 - 07:30. So technically I'm off the weekend but I'll be sleeping through the daytime then when I wake up the day will be over and no one will be around. The joys of night shifts working for the NHS. On top of that, when I get up the supermarkets will be closed for easter too. Your easter seems better now doesn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have to but I already have a stack of work lined up for Tuesday morning plus I'm covering another job next week. A few hours getting up to speed on Monday will make me feel a whole lot better about going in Tuesday morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about the image innit? Like cars for some people. Now, I just use the money id spend on a large mortgage to do fun things with the nipper. Since January, we've been able to go to Cadburys world, black country museum, Severn valley, wyre forest, thomas land, safari park + more.. do loads of home improvements, and still have enough to put in the bank. Also been to Reykjavik with the wife, going away for a stag do next month, then Paris and hopefully 1 more thing + a week in Cornwall. I've completely lost my appetite for owning a large, nice house.. we don't even have time to keep our lovely normal 3 bed semi clean! That said, we only moved here last July, could have borrowed a lot more, but we found a house we like, in an area we love and all is working out well so far. The shitter is that I'm currently being made redundant! (Good things will come I'm sure.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on the same level as war crimes I actually got quite into the bakeoff in the last series. It's not bad television to be perfectly honest. But I totally agree about the fuss with it moving. It really doesn't matter what channel it's on. BUT, the inclusion of possibly the most unfunny "comedian" that has eevr lived, Noel Fielding, means I'm highly unlikely to ever watch it again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 15, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2017 I'd like a nice big house if I had a family. But for the time being when it's just me and the other half, I'd rather spend the money on a nice flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for the time being when it's just me and the other half, I'd rather spend the money on a nice flat. I'm not fussed about a big house, but I would like a house, just to have a garden. I'll settle for a little terraced place with a small back garden just so I have somewhere to sit during the 10 days or so every year that we have sunshine. Not fussed about grass, I'd settle for concrete and decking! I'm more interested in location rather than size, which I guess is its own form of snobbery but I'm unapologetic about that. I want to live in a nice area, with lower crime rates and better shops and restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Kind of the same, I moved to a nice little culdesac off the council estate I grew up on, I'm not in the pebble dash houses but I'm back to where I spent 20 years growing up, for me it's perfect, for my missus it's a bit rough still, she won't use the shops on the estate she'll go to the Tesco express the next estate over (that estate has a drug problem and there's more crime there but she doesn't know that estate either do doesn't see it) her mom lives out in the country, like 15 minute drive down a dirt track middle of nowhere, that ain't happening for me no way I don't want that life what i think I found with my house is we have a back garden that's block paving and decking, we have a front that's all tarmac, no grass, no gardening, for me that's absolutely perfect, we think they struggled to sell it because of that though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
