Tool hire arghhh
Posted Feb 22, 2002
Another fruitful half term day - NOT!
Yesterday I hired a very long ladder so that a pal could repair my upstairs windows for me. Phoned the hire company to tell them I'd finished with ladder. "We'll be along between 9 and 12 tomorrow morning", they say. 1 pm still no sign of them. A phone call, an explanation that no, tomorrow won't do, as I have visitors and I can't have the stairs in my home blocked by a 20foot ladder just in case any of us want to use the loo. "Ok madam, I'll just phone the driver and see where he is", and just 5 minutes later he and the driver were knocking on my door to get the ladder! Does time work differently for such companies I wonder......do they spend all day riding around in the lorry eagerly awaiting a phone call to pick up a piece of equipment .......

The Long-Lost Times of Half Term Hols
Posted Feb 21, 2002
Here goes, first entry :: gulps nervously ::.
I am now over half way through my half-term hols. I always have loads to do planned, from pleasurable things to the mundane boring things that I can't do during term time. What aspect of the universe is it that always throws spanners in my plans? Time seems to fly by, and lots of things get done, but not what I was hoping to do! I feel there's a hidden agenda for my life, which has my life out of my control! I start to do something and then something happens to divert my path..... The only thing to do, I have decided, is to go with the flow rahter than worry about not getting things done or getting other unplanned things done!
