Election Fever!

Election night! My vote has already been cast, via post, so now doubt someone will tamper with it, but in Gateshead I dont think my vote will count for much as its a bit of a labour stronghold, to say the least! Have decided not to stay up and watch the coverage for too long trying to keep it a surpirse, though as I write Sunderland South is just sending in the 1st result!!!

BAR have been banned for 2 races so the GP I'm going to miss is looking rather controvertial already, all I can hope is that this means more points for my lovely reds! Hoping the weather will be good over the weekend for my afore mentioned trip to alton towers. Have managed to wangle leaving work a touch early so I can at leat attempt to beat the traffic for the first leg of the journey, but probably not all of it! THen comes the joy of AA directions and getting totally lost, though I'm kinda hoping that my navigator will get me out of that. We shall see. This will of course lead to a total lack of posts over the weekend, sorry guys. :-(

On the house side the roof still hasn't been fixed as far as I know, but then the property managers may not have been told. Me thinks a phone call will be required tomorrow, they must be getting sick of me by now!

Have also now had to start avoiding Starwars adverts and trailers because I dont wanna see anything about it till I actually see it. THis means a lot of annoying and frantic channel hopping during adverts which invariably leads to me missing the start of the next bit of the programme I was watching, really must get myself to the cinema as soon as possible. Might attempt to get some people together and make a trip of it if I can.

Other than that the 4 day week has been tiring, but productive. Surviving without a member of the team is do-able, but I dont fancy it in the long term! Managed to say no to someone asking for help today, which is very rare, mainly cos I was busy, not just cos I'm mean! So he sent he boss to ask me the same question! The answer I might add, didn't change! In my defence it would have been a favour and something that isn't in my job description anyway, someone else is contracted for that.

So as I sign off, if you see a red focus, get out of the way, I'm probably looking at road signs, not where i'm driving!
