I had my first day of jury service today. I was quite amused at the first t-shirt I picked out to wear - (written sideways) "If found please return to the bar and place in an upright position" *grins*

So I wore it.. under my jumper :)

Got called up twice - but both times I was one of the four not picked (at random) to actually make up the bench. Got released at 3pm and told to call tomorrow at 3-4pm to see if I'm needed for Wednesday. I should go into work but I'm feeling run down like kissycat1000 so I will just notify work I'm feeling ill.

Headed up to kissycat1000's via Fortress Geek to pick up my laptop because I had a viewing on a 3 bed semi at 6:30pm that evening.

Viewing went well. I've offered £7,500 less than the asking price; £2,500 less than what the agent said the buyer was prepared to take. I think I'm in a strong position as the house has been on the market for 4 months, I have no chain. I'll need the 'spare' money to update the place.

Last thing was that kissycat1000's daughter has misbehaved again in a bad way. Tears, frustration and upset were the order of the evening. Ironic, but also useful that I'm doing jury service at present. Hopefully we've put the Fear into her and I hope she realises she needs to change for the better, for everyone's sake. An ongoing thing.

Behind with LJ - feel free to point me to important stuff.

The most imortant thing is this bloody laser puzzle game thing that Rik showed me kast night that appears to have consumed my day entirely...

Link is in his post here

Go try it, and get addicted and do better than me!

hope the house works out :) Sorry I have been totally out of touch since being back in Reading but would really like to meet up with you and kissycat1000 again sometime. Pencil me in for the new year? (I have a stupid shop job until the end of Dec, so am busy every day until then. Meh.)

Hey! I hope the house works out too. I'm bloody busy until the new year sometime too - but certainly we should meet up. I'm sure I'll be having a big house-warming of some description if nothing else :)

There is no important stuff - it's only LJ!

I'm surprised you only went in at 7K under. Given the way prices are in Chelt I'd have expected a drop of 10 at least, just to let them know that they're clearly taking the p*ss.

Hope it goes well.

I think it's fairly cheap for what it is to begin with, and I'm keen on getting it. Hopefully she's at the stage where she'll just want to accept and get on with it.

Hows things?

Fancy a little jaunt up to Edinburgh for New Years?

[ev1ldonut.livejournal.com]

*earperk*

Edinburgh for New Year? That's where I'm going to be. (-8

[dylan.livejournal.com]

Cool, the more the merrier :)

By the way, you aren't well over 6 foot tall with a skinhead and physique like Buster Bloodvessel are you?

[gerald_duck]

Er... nope. Not in the slightest. (-8

I'm actually visiting other friends in Edinburgh for Hogmanay, but I'll be in the area for at least a few days around the new year itself.

Busy/Good - I think I'll give it a miss this year. Especially as with any luck I'll be moving in to my new pad then... ;)

[dylan.livejournal.com]

You expecting to move in that soon? You don't hang about do you. I'll give you a call sometime, wanna hear all about the house and any other impulse buys you've made this month

[azekeil.livejournal.com]

Heh heh. Sorry I really wasn't with it when you called; I'd literally passed out at 6pm and went back to bed until 2am.. and I'm still awake now. I think I'm not very well :S

I laughed lots when I saw what you'd written. Sometimes you do have a wonderful way of putting things :)

[dylan.livejournal.com]

I kinda guessed you were pretty spaced out, it wasn't too difficult to spot :) It would be good to spend some quality time with you but I doubt it will happen until after New Year at this rate.

Get better soon, gotta feel good so you can eat all the mince pies :)
