Arrgh Bored!!!

[Cirrus]

Well, my Xmas break started on Saturday and I didn't realise quite how much I enjoy working! Kids are off school and driving me mad, the snow is deep and I live on the top of a ruddy great hill and without a 4x4 you are stuck and so I can't escape! I planned to take time off until the 4th Jan but already I have shuffled jobs around to get me out of the house and working next week. Is it just me who finds it hard to wind down? I just don't like not doing anything. Sad I guess?!

Not just you mate. I'd use any excuse to get out tbh. Stuck in with 3 kids saying .... I'm bored . Not much fun apart from them opening their presents. Roll on Xmas day lol

You raise an interesting question Cirrus , I've been working for 1000 years now but soon get bored with nothing to do, no problems to solve, things to organize . The summer isn't so bad but stuck in the house is a pain. The missus keeps dreaming up jobs to do.

I find myself tidying the van out , its very sad really. I read a lot , guitar, but thats for the evening really ,can't stand daytime TV!!!

I even tried playing call of duty black ops for 20 mins. Got me very wound up and even more frustrated because I get beaten online by 7 year olds! Just running out of ideas as to what I can do. Kids want to go sledging. Did that yesterday. I need to fit downlights to the bedroom but can't even make it to the wholesalers because of the snow. Mental lol!

We just got back. Hope you have better luck than we had.

Shelves are nearly empty and the shop assistants are complaining the trucks are not getting through with deliveries.

Will you let us know how it went for you

You can probably escape, it would be getting back home that may be more of a challenge!

 

[Cirrus]

It would be a massive challenge. I did have a Discovery to make it easier but ahem, that's another story where I told the dealer to take the car back the day after he delivered it and refund me my money. 2 months on I am without the Disco and the cashbad day explode

 

[Apache]

Good cars are Discos. I like them if you can afford to feed them!

Well we made it back alive , place was heaving , car park overflowing, bored rigid shuffling round , found ourselves standing next to our old neighbours from 100 years ago at one stage then the In-Laws then a friend. This was Asda, shelves were groaning with every thing except Thyme & Parsley stuffing , which they don't sell.

Because the Missus goes there every week she noticed that all the prices had gone up for the annual Christmas rip-off . X(

If you're really that bored, design me a new super duper estimating spreadsheet on excel

 

[Voltimax]

And if your good with excel i have some work needs doing like volti.....There that should take your boredom away :Applaud

Oh yes?

What do you require Canoe? I like to make things in excel.

 

[Badger]

well i deffo wont be bored, 2 x sheds to clean out, a decking area to tidy up, a garage to tidy out, a loft to clear out and tidy up so i dont think ill be bored at all over the holiday

 

[revjames]

Well I am happy to not be doing 'work' for a few days. I know you lot probably don't think what I do is work but there you go. Actually have time to turn that black thing on that sits in the corner and has moving pictures on it. Not that theres anything any good on it.

Also time for some quiet reflection and penitence... (only kidding)

Not in a rush to work but will be back next week.

had a foretaste of hell today when I visited Tesco's .... unbelievable....
