Well, I can’t sit back and ignore the efforts of my friends back in GBLX UK?! Natalie, Jackie and Sarah are currently raising money for St Lukes Hospice in Cheshire - and I think this is a very noble charity to be raising funds for, so I have donated some money and left a pledge to double my donation should they reach their target….now I could be really tight and hope they don’t! Or?! You guys and gals out there could help them by pledging a small donation yourselves, and force me to cough up some more money! All it takes is a few £2 donations here and there..?

Simply click the picture of these lovelly ladies and let your wallet do the rest!

In other news, I did a borg job on a couple of old Cisco 4000 series routers today and made myself two ATM nodes! Cos I can!

All in all, it’s been a quiet week.  I’ve not got as much done as I would have liked.   Heck!! I got stuff done?! That in itself is cause for celebration…  seriously though; today I got my mug shot taken with a few primary kids for the papers…(a la Centenary Stuff for the band); I went to Chester with some good intentions, but once I found somewhere to park, lost my bearings so went for a wander instead - I went a few other places too, then I came back home. 

Not surprisingly just as my week off is winding down I get called about a fault for one of the clients I am lead on; took me about an hour to get it resolved; although it’s one that bears further scrutiny when I return to work mode next week.

What else did I do today, hmmm  well there was a bit of ‘kiss and make up’ without the kissing mind….I’m sure I’m missing a trick here somewhere?!

I gave some advice to someone I care for, very deeply; whose initial is “L” in case you were wondering.  You can have a guess who if you like?

In other news…I am still technically “on-call” until Monday morning

Sorry about the post drought for the past few days, I have been struck down by MAN FLU!!! for the past week or so, and it’s grew to it’s climax around Monday(ish)…

…Lucky I am feeling lots better today, and I am even wearing PINK in honour of Breast Cancer Research - “Wear it Pink” Day!

Got so much energy these days, but I think it’s simply a side effect of my new lifestyle.  Up early every morning, I hit the gym for a quick workout before work.  It’s really made a difference, although (as I half expected the weight loss has slowed down a bit) now I am used to the routine.

Along with all this, I am about to start planning my new bathroom.  If I am feeling brave I will take a few before and after pictures and feature it on this blog?  anyways - Feeling really good this weekend.  Got my work cut out though, along with all the personal stuff in my life, I need to pull my finger out for the band centenary!!  We have 8 months to sort out the funding we need, got lots of ideas, and will get the wheels well and truly in motion.

In other news….I need to find something pink to wear for “Wear it PINK” day in aid of Breast Cancer.  It’s 27th October!  You’ve got time to join in so come on!!

Oh and if you recognise more than four of the names in the current poll….you are extremley sad!

A Special Thank You to Rachel!! Who is going the gym too, see it ain’t ALL just me, and also for being the one behind the Wear it Pink initiative at work!!
