You're right, alas! Looks like it's going to stay there for another 14 months.

My mother's 50th this weekend so off round theirs for a 60s themed fancy dress party/BBQ. My costume is excellent. Free booze and awesome food is also a masive bonus.
Ben gets a new phone in two months. He can barely wait.
I love my phone, but it's acting up a bit so I do need a new one.
I know it would be really thick to get the exact same one again, but it is stupidly tempting.

What, pray tell, shall it be?

Always upgrade, zooo! ALWAYS!
Come home to find that the neighbour family from hell have moved into the house for the week. They're emigrating and need somewhere to live as all their furniture has been shipped out. I knew they were coming, but was informed that they were coming next week, so I booked a second week away to avoid them. Very annoying. The parents are lovely, but the children are horrendous - the worst children I've ever met, and one's only a toddler! And good grief, have they made a mess of the place!
Hope you have a lock on your door to keep 'em out!

Ugh.
AJGO has to downsize her bag, got dreadful backache and a sore calf which wasn't made better by traipsing in crowds from Arsenal Stadium. 60,000-ish people walking very very slowly while I tried to stay upright put me in an even worse mood than Sunderland's f**king piss-taking goalie.
Has been on call today - from home thankfully - and it's been the busiest on call ever. Jesus. Still on call til 9, but it's dead thankfully.
On call for what, Ben?

I work in the service sector. I'm not out on the tools, but some contracts we have mean the phones have to be manned at weekends. It's all remote access, so I can work from bed if I want.
Like a helpdesk?
I deal with service calls coming in and all the hell attached with them like sorting out risk and method statements for Waterloo Station which appears to be impossible. Sometimes I get to unpack parts too!
Ha, sounds exciting!!! Still doesn't have a clue.
Wishing you a quiet night.
I've just learnt that the awful family only moved in today - the place looks like they've been here weeks and haven't tidied up since they got here! And there was an invoice on the kitchen table for a locksmith who came round today to fix the lock. Somehow they broke the lock in less than a day!
