Gav836 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 First day of my two week holiday from work and, yep, you guessed it, I've been into work putting fertiliser on 5 acres of backward spuds first thing for an hour and also to be there in case my trainee irrigator chap needed assistance and just back in from another 2 hour stint moving one of the irrigators with him, couple of hours break now before going back to supervise moving the other irrigator again. He's got the hang of it but these two moves and the next two are not straight forward ones so he asked for some supervision............which will equal beer next time we go to the pub ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmitemania Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Had a lazy day today for once, cleaned the car and helped the good lady sort out and throw away some of the kids 100's of toys which seemed to have swamped our conservatory even though its 18Ft by 12Ft, and finally had the time to catch up on here after a month or so absense, Ive had a few issues to deal with, loosing a man at work so we were short of a plant fitter so have been working all hours, My gramp passing away at 84, so he's had a good inings as they say, but we have had his house to clear and prepare for sale, and another serious issue which I cannot discuss at the moment, but will be able to divulge in time, rest assured its nothing to do with myself or my health or my family directly. Happy to be back in the fold and should now be on more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmitemania Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 The little monkey will come out when he's/she's good and ready due dates are not an exact science, anyway they wont let it go on for too long before they will perform a cesarian, which my wife had for our first child Jack. Good luck and hope mother and child are well. yeah i guess so, hes just rung again and still no joy, her proper dad is now worried, and wont belive what they are telling him so is going up? ?? he cant do anything, and he will only get karrens back up ,can see this getting messy now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
