B-B-B-Berocca!!!

After seeing it advertised on the TV again and being a bit listless lately, I decided to give these Berocca tablets a try.  Hmm multi-vitamins, no caffeine, lovely orange flavour...... one drawback, it has a rather smelly after effect (LOL) but I am feeling a bit livelier.  Gem has left for London after a week at home, a bit of a panic at the end, her train was leaving half an hour earlier than she thought, no time to go to Greggs for that sandwich now!  Gem's just been on the fone to say she's at Hitchin and it's snowing heavily.  Pauline has just come through the door in a panic, she hasn't got any insulin for Evie and Kelly didn't leave any at school for her.  We only have slow acting insulin in the house and Evie is now on the fast one and 4 instead of 2 injections a day, it's better for her in that she can eat more normally and doesn't need her afternoon snack, the drawback is more blood sugar tests during the day.  Jezzz it's all happening at once today, all was peace and harmony ten minutes ago!

Ummmmmmmmmm.............

I thought it was about time I did another blog as it's been almost 2 weeks since the last one and it is supposed to be a daily one (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha).  I'm enjoying myself back driving the bus, having a laff with the staff and customers.  Going round in circles up to 100 times a shift gives you plenty of time to contemplate the worlds troubles and it's surprising sometimes the things that pop into your mind when you hit that certain 'bump' in the road.  The weather is rubbish, it's been really frosty the last couple of nights, foggy too!  We had a very small snow flurry early this morning but that soon fizzled out.  Looked out the bedroom window before going to bed this morning and saw 2 reels of cable (most likely from the Virgin Media depot behind us) hidden in the bushes.  Poor idiots that placed it there probably do not realise it will be fibre optic cable so it's not a lot of use/value to them, still I did my duty and called the community policing team.  They said they'd get someone to go and have a look, probably in a couple of days I expect......... oooooohh just had a call from them, someone is coming round about 5pm to collect them, that's fast.  Well suppose I'd better go and get ready for work.

February already...........

Well it's been almost a month since my last blog, a lot has happened since then some good some not so good but we're still smiling.  The snow has gone (well almost) I'm no longer a team leader and I'm back out in the cold instead of that nice warm office.  On the upside, I'm feeling happier, sleeping easier and people are noticing that I'm happier.  Had an unusual request today, Evie's mum works at a local Nursery and they have a storybook and a cuddly toy (that's supposed to have been found at the airport) and they want me to take pictures of it in different places at the airport, should be a laff.

The end of Newcastle Airport?

Well they've finally stitched me up at the airport, been suspended and facing the sack for gross misconduct.  Gross misconduct? wow ! what did I do? well basically I trusted my staff to do what they said they were doing and now I'm on the carpet because they didn't.  Time to start looking for another job by the looks of it.  Times are hard and I expect I will be made an example of. Not that my staff are the only ones, just we've been caught.  It makes my blood boil when you think we have people who have done much worse and not faced the sack. C'est la vie, that's the way my life has always been, as soon as I get somewhere someone/thing knocks the ladder out from under me.  A friend who was some sort of psychic once told me I was cursed by a jealous friend when I was about twelve years old and times like this often make me think 'is there something in it?'
