Random Irritations

[Golfmmad]

First day back at work. It snowed overnight, it was snowing on the way in. The factory is cold, heating is on but it's been off for two weeks. I need to clear the snow from the entrance so that deliveries and collections are safe but it is snowing heavily right now so no point.

It's a miserable first day back.

Chuck some salt down.
Jobs a good 'un!

On order? What did you go for?

Jaecoo 7.

Gutted. Was hoping to get a long-term review for one of the cars I'm looking to get next.
How long do you have to wait?

The Tiguans a few of us have as company cars are atrocious in the snow, a colleague had to abandon his a few miles from his house yesterday.
Me, I’m working from home today

He said six weeks, but that was nearly a week ago so hopefully only another five now. Sometime in Feb.

Your company should supply winter tyres for you guys. Make driving in snow a doddle, within reason, and you go all over the country. Better than letting customers down because it simply isn't safe to drive.

I've got to clear the 10cm of snow first. Once I've done that I'll be using the grit bin. That should keep it clear for the week then.

The wife and daughter have gone to look at prams this morning.

The price of them is mental, they cost more than some cars.

Looking like open wallet surgery this morning.

My offer to make one has been flatly refused

We’ve sprung a leak from the wall mounted bath/shower mixer tap. The mixer is def corroded/holed but until its removed I cant tell if the pipe work behind is still sound, if not it’ll mean making a hole in wall to repair. Reluctant to do it fearing the worst but it cant stay as is

Forget about work for a while. Build a snowman and have a snowball fight with the staff. Relive your youth. Go on - you know you want to

I bet it would look more like a go-cart rather than a pram. Not because of any inability on your part....but its just that us blokes have a way of conceiving "alternative" uses for things.

100%.
In my head it even had go faster stripes and string for steering.

The best thing we did when we got ours was go to an exhibition where they had all of them out, so you could have a go at putting them up and down, and wheel them around a bit. Some of them were a right pain and too fiddly to operate so we ended up buying the easiest one. (A Cybex one.)

Sharing my car with the wife while the new one is on order. Each time I get in to drive, the seat's moved, the rear view mirror has moved, the radio is down at zero volume, she's also pressed the button on the end of the indicator that changes what your dashboard displays (not intentionally, she's just ham-fisted). Also the car is now full of handbags, hairbrushes, loose change and general trash.

Makes me feel sorry for my daughter when I borrow her car.

They have gone to some shop that has hundreds of them apparently.
They been there since 09.00 and still deciding/looking.

I was surplus to requirements thankfully.

I’m hoping they go for the one that looks most like the Millenium Falcon.

Maybe that’s why I wasn’t invited

Always worth a look through the second hand columns like FB market place. Most of this stuff get very little used because it quickly becomes to small for the young ones.

Ours cost about a grand, but that was including a bassinet, a normal seat, and the carseat that comes with it since you can clip that onto the pram as well. Not cheap but we still use that pram with the normal seat attached so it has lasted three years and counting.

I agree but she wants brand new as

A) it’s her first
B) Daddy is paying

I have told the other daughter who is also pregnant but with baby number 2 the one we got her for her first will be fine.

Yeah the ones she is looking at come with all the accessories. Depending on the chosen one looking around £1300ish

Well after a couple off months of work, I’m thinking I better start looking for a job
