Another Pothole on the Road to Success!!!

Oh great, time goes on and things get worse.
Yeah folks, sorry for my less-than-great mood. I shouldn't really be so cranky, I've had an okay couple of days I guess.

I've been saving all my tips for ages and ages, from when I worked for Pizza Hut all those years ago. Damn, three years feels like nothing. That's a terrifying thing at 21. Course, the bigger coins got spent on all sorts of stuff, but the small change, 2's, 1's, 5's, occasional 10's just got put in loads of cash bags and languished in my wardrobe for the best part of three years.
Well I figured out I could get all my change together and take it to the local ASDA - they've got a machine there that counts small change, issues you with a voucher, which is then redeemable for cash. So I take along a year's worth of small change, a massive bag of coins weighing about 15 pounds (rough guess).

What do I get for just under 1700 coins?
21 quid. Great.

Still, I managed to have a decent time swimming, as per the usual monday. I can feel my fitness beginning to come back to me.

Today was a pretty standard mediocre day at work. All the phones were down, all the computers were down, and for the best part of six hours, they paid me to sit there and wait for them to get the systems back up.
Still, I managed to get home, have a little nap, and then went and took some cash out, ready to buy my motherboard and my new keyboard for my computer. We went to overclockers, which is the best place to buy the stuff, but ended up having a load of trouble with Natwest's new security forms which we HAD to fill in, with no explanation. This worried my dad enough to cancel the order cos he didn't want to give his details again. Well we both looked into it and he eventually made the order without telling me, and forgot the keyboard.
So we've had to tack on a message basically saying "can I have a keyboard too!" - they've confirmed the order for the motherboard, but not the keyboard. So now I'm probably gonna get the motherboard and no keyboard tomorrow - great, when a lack of communication means that the item I actually NEED rather than one I'm just getting to reduce costs next month, probably isn't gonna be sent.Still, At least we got part of the order confirmed.

I'm still waiting for the fuel T-piece to get in from Italy, so the bike's still off the road too.

Still, i've got a day off on thursday as I say, and in an attempt to lose weight (yeah I'm only 11 stone but my body fat has gone from around 9% to 19% in 5 months - worrying!), instead of drinking beer tomorrow I think I'll be after some cheap whisky or something. Not that I'm an alcoholic of course, but I have been pretty stressed.

Still. Life goes on. Not to say that it gets any better, but ya have ups and downs, ya know.
Take care people.
