Monday: I start the week by opening an email from one of my parental units. This is always a bad idea. For some reason my parents want to think that I am miserable and depressed with my life. Don't ask me, I don't know.
Work was the usual boring for the first two hours or so then it gets busy. I get my breaks at the same time as another colleague so it's nice to have someone familiar to chat to.
Tuesday: My last Overtime shift of this batch. I'm going to put my feet up for the next three days and relax. By solving puzzles and using a chainsaw. That's Prof Layton and MadWorld. Oh and finally finish my book I've been reading for a week. Arrived home to a plethora of mail. THe usual BT crap since you've been away we've made an amazing new offer. No you haven't your still way down the value charts behind SKY and Virgin so stop destroying trees with this bollocks. Also came home to find we have a next directory huge catalogue in someone elses name. There was a letter at the door saying we weren't able to deliver your next directory. Ok I thought then spotted the massive box beside the doorstep.
Wednesday: Get up and bring the bin back in. Bloke from across the road is just bringing his out. It's full to the top. He asks me (bearing in mind it's about 10.30/11.00 am) "Have they been?" "uhh yeah, I answer flipping open the nearest bin, they were here a while ago." "Oh no my bins up to the top, I'll have to do something about it." Seriously though it wouldn't have taken much to put it out the night before would it? That's what I do. Picked up the wife from work then went to Toys 'R' Us to get Wii Sports Resort £34.85. Much better than what the games shops are charging. Went home and played the bowling, archery and the frisbee game.
Thursday: Got awoken at 6.30am by the wife who said I've kept her awake since 3am so she tells me I'm driving her to work. Drove her to work then I went to Asda to get some stupid lightbulbs for the kitchen. I've never seen these lightbulbs before. They're small halogen spotlight bulbs with little round plugs instead of pins on the end. After that I sat around and finished reading my book. Had fifteen minutes after that so I went and wandered around Gamestation for a bit. Laughing at their outrageous price of £49.99 for Animal Crossing: Lets Go To The City. Went to the bank to see if I can open a savings account to go along with my ISA and Current account. Need a car, holiday and a house. I'm going to start putting a bit aside every week. I should allegedly get paid shortly. Woo.
Friday: Decided to go the Gyle Shopping Centre. The Mrs wanted some cosmetic stuff and had the day off so off we drove. Saw a really old style Michelin 1920's style bus on the way to the shopping centre. Still trying to find a picture of it. We don't know if it was part of Truckfest which was on this weekend at the Highland Showground. Anyway we got to the shops and I spotted a bargain in Morrisons Animal Crossing: Let's Go To The City with Wii Speak labelled at £34.99. I thought I'll have that as it's normally £49.99+ everywhere else! It's even £42 in Asda. I also wanted the mic for when I get the Conduit and when Endless Ocean 2 comes out. I am such a gaming addict lol. Then again I suppose there are worse things to be addicted to! Then we went to M&S and there wasn't a single bloody reduction. M&S stuff is nice but it's usually a nice price too!
Saturday: Back to the grind at work. This day was alright but they asked me to stay on at the end of the shift so I said I'll give you an hour. Because a) I was asked nicely and b) MONEY! Ann in front of me said she'd stay on until half nine. I got some shopping and then went to her till and held the closing sign so no-one would queue behind me. They still tried it! Gave Ann a lift home since she lives in the same town as me. Got in to discover my mrs playing animal crossing. She'd already earnt herself 800 bells! She said she was getting a bit bored now, so I asked if she'd been to the city. To which she said she hadn't even thought of it! Bless her, her minds a bit befuddled with the cold she's got.
Sunday: My other day at work this week. This day was sooooooooooooo badly organised it was ridiculous. First up I wasn't even on the rota and it's one of my contracted days! I could of swiped in and sat upstairs all day if I was dishonest! I do feel for the person running the checkouts as I've been there myself. But why would you make a rota then change it at 10pm? When the person who is using it left at 4pm? Still we got there in the end. They asked me to stay on again but I politely declined as they asked me right on the dot of 8pm. Had they of asked me earlier I would of said yeah sure. I just wanted to go home!
