Had another busy week last week went to Wrexham on Monday to sort out the changes we need to make to the Reception areas. Wednesday went to Leyland with loads of Customers for a plant tour, was a giggle especially the blue tights but that's another story!! Friday my friend John who's retiring with his wife to Spain sent champagne & chocolates cos I managed to get an important parcel too him. I was only being a friend but hey when you are appreciated the whole world shines!!! ;o) Gave the champagne to Rach for being a gud friend. Last night went to see The Pussy Cat dolls at the MEN arena was excellent, they really are fantastic dancers!! You wouldn't believe the trouble we went to to go though it really was hilarious! Started months ago when Sophie sent me a txt asking if I could go onto the internet and get us tickets to go. Seemed like a great idea at the time so I ordered two tickets from ticket master at the retail price!! A few days later I recieved an email from them asking me to fax a copy of my bank statements due to a new security measure to prove I was who I said I was...this sounded a bit odd so I didn't and the tickets were then cancelled...Sophie was still excited so I set about ordering some more this time from a place called www.londonticketshop.co.uk ..this time at twice the retail price!! aaagggh Well about a week ago I realised no tickets had arrived so I set about finding my order confirmation and emailing them chasing them up. No reply, so a few days later I emailed them again. I was getting worried as there is no phone number on the website and the registered office is in Hungary!!! However this time I got an email back from a hotmail address saying a rep would be at the venue and I had to collect them from there and they would be in touch further. Yesterday morning I got a telephone call from a guy saying he was from thelondonticket shop I had to meet a guy called John at 7.30 at the main entrance and he gave me his mobile telephone number! All sounded very very odd however we set off to the MEN arena in Manchester armed with this John's mobile telephone number so at about 6.30 we phoned it. Well a John did answer the phone and he asked how many tickets we needed. He then said he would be outside MacDonald's, at this point I asked him what he looked like and if he had any distinguishing features lol..He replied just phone me when you get there and I'll put my hand in the air. Phone him well he'd done a bunk! I couldn't get through and I guess I was conned?!? Sophie was disappointed... had I been on my own I would have driven home, there were ticket touts all around so I paid a further £100 for two tickets just to not let her down..Morale of the story don't trust www.londonticketshop.co.uk
Today I've tried to get hold of them at thelondonticketshop and I was passed about a lot. They said they would refund my money so I am waiting for this to happen but I won't hold my breath!! I am amazed these con men are allowed to operate on the web! Just read all the terrible stories...all sounds too familiar! Should be one for the police

During the day today one of our suppliers turned up with hampers and another gift of champagne for me. I think I'll put it in the Christmas raffle for a prize. Furniture was turning up left right and centre as well and had meetings with web developers, yellow pages whilst writing business plans, writing letters and dealing with floral plant contracts NEVER EVER A DULL MO!!!

Well last Sat went to Don's 40th was good saw a few peeps not seen in ages which was cool. Dad won an award at the Grosvenor Hotel in Chester Cheshire Champion so well done to Sandbach! yay Wednesday had a Gokarting evening at the circuit Chester had a great time. The following morning had to get up really early for a meeting at the Brittania Hotel near Bradford airport..what a mare to get to took four hours sitting in local twaffic! Friday went to the Limes for Children in Need it was fancy dress and Kareoke what a laff! This week went over to Wrexham on Monday, today been in the orifice met up with my business partner and tonight been to see Casino Royale with ickle man( really enjoyed it)Tomorrow going to Leyland Trucks might get a rest at the weekend. lol

Well the week started well. Arrived at the Stoke v Coventry match me and Rach were excited! We were ushered into the Gordon Banks suite that just happened to be opening that night and had a drink at the bar. We then sat down to a 3 course meal (chief troughers) Gordon Banks was there he was really nice! Amazing to think it was 40years on since he was the 1966 hero. Dunno how we managed it but we had the best seats in the house in the Directors box sitting right behind Mr Banks. The match was very foggy at one point we didn't know how many players were on the pitch lol! At half time there was more food soup and sandwiches...In the second half there was a wonder goal for Stoke and at the end there was yet more food this time a mini Wrights pie!! LOL
Tuesday was Don's 40th Birthday. Really mad busy at work then went over to Don's with ickle man to drop some stools off. He asked us to stay for food so we did...Obviously a week for food!
Wednesday evening met up with Carol, Commander and the girls for a meal in a farm! Very different basically this family open up their farm for meals. You sit in their Dining room with an open fire and enjoy a 3 course meal. Was gr8! So all in all a very filling few days!! haha

I'm such a truckie! lol Just to add another brand!! Hino has popped up so that's DAF Trucks, Paccar, Leyland Trucks, LVD vans and now Hino..no wonder I love my job all that diesel in the blood!!

My Mum always says Patience is a virtue... full of great sayings is my MUM! Love you! It's November and the nights are drawing in, Summer seems sooooo far away. Everyone's patience is being tested. The kids are impatient for Christmas, adults are impatient for the sun. But I believe patience is fruit of the spirit!
It's interesting that we are told to be patient and to wait..after all David had to wait 40years to become King...He needed this time of waiting to become the King that the peeps needed. Prince Charles is still waiting! It is easy for us to be impatiently chasing the agenda of the world, but it doesn't work like that. We have to be still, be patient refrain from fretting and believe and everything will happen in it's own good time..PEACE! Generous, kind and warm hearted dats the good stuff in this world never mind the rest be Happy!

Well last night took the not broken bar stools over to Don's and the blue colour was all wrong...Didn't get there till 8pm and ickle man was tired. Stayed about an hour then drove home an hour. The cream ones were broken got replacements for those coming on Monday..soo register this for later on in the story.. got four bar stools if anyone wants them lol (plus two broken ones)! Today been out with Richard ( we call him Arthur cos he wears an Arthur Daly coat) to Connect in Wolverhampton. They are located in the Chubb building. I was impressed with the Architecture and their boardroom had bright purple seats!! I love mod mixed with old.... fab! Anway before our meeting we grabbed a Bacon,sausage, egg and cheese bap for 99p just as well as we only had £2 between us! Met some very nice peeps they seem to know their marketing! Arrived back in the orifice for more madness. Took a late lunch on a mission for cream leather bar stools.. the ones I had sourced earlier on in the week were on a 3wk delivery and Don needs them yesterday..so I took a flyer and bought 4 that they could get in for tomorrow..just sent the pic and he dunna like them soo peeps I now have 8 bar stools (plus two broken ones) hmm 10 cream bar stools standing on the wall..and if one cream bar stool should accidentally fall haha.Anyway I have masses of boxes to tidy away them I'm going to bed for a well earned rest!!!! hehe Highlight of the day I have discovered Oat Cakes! chief trougher..Turns out he loved them when I took em round Saturday so no cream bar stools standing on the wall nemore! You just can't tell from a picture!

When Rach said I'm as mad as a box of frogs today I laughed but as the day has worn on I think I finally can agree! Got up nice and early arrived in the orifice for 8.30 things were going well. Had meetings with Auto Trader & Signal Radio...the rest of the day involved all sorts of varied madness! Had fun though! Arrived home after collecting ickle man from after school club at 5.40pm. Emptied the Volvo which was full of stock in 10 mins flat. Lady who was doing a voluntary council survey at 6 turned up early...hmm I said to her I know this sounds crazy but rather than let you down can you come with me to Winsford in the car so I can collect some stock from DHL and you can do the survey on the way..She laughed and said why not...so off we tootled with the interior light on so she could read the questions as I drove along! Well laugh she asked me all sorts of questions about Cheshire County Council involving the Fire Brigade, Days out in Cheshire, Transport Problems, Recycling...etc etc.. At various points she held up Adverts that I had to say whether I recognised them or not..not easy whilst driving! haha
Anyway ickle man was in the back and answered a few questions for me haha The round trip took an hour just in time we finished the survey and she took off laughing saying it was a 1st! Arrived home fed ickle man then looked in my garden oh yes is that 25 boxes of Christmas stock I see that has been delivered...After putting them all in the house I am now surrounded by boxes! I have just bathed ickle man and unpacked everything to check for breakages and two of the bar stools are cracked. Everything else seems to be ok...I've just packed 10 parcels that need to go out tomorrow and I'm giggling to myself someone should follow me round with a video camera cos it really is quite funny!
