Ok - i'm cack. I know it. I try to blog more frequently but at the end of a long day at the computer it never quite seems like a high priority. So what has gone on in the past few months? New car , carpet. Work is cool as ever - am still ever so grateful I am in a job I enjoy so much. Am off today to a wedding only problem is it is a million miles away. Should be fun though.
So I was a little upset at Lib Dems getting power in Bristol West last week so i've been wallowing a bit. This made me chuckle tho: N. has a small fund started by her dad by credit suisse called the 'fellowship fund'. Broadly speaking it is marketed as an ethical fund. I was reading through the market report just now and it listed the top ten holding in this 'ethical fund'.
Vodafone
HSBC
GlaxoSmithKline
RBoS
HBOS
BG
BT
Barclays
O2
British Land
I'm not sure many people would mark them out as taking particularly ethical stand points but I may be wrong.
So it might have taken a while but we recently got carpet in our house. I know that might be a wild luxury for most of you but it has revoultionised the house which now almost looks finished - the culmination of 5 years work. If i'm honest I guess that's 5 years of non-work intersperced with the odd weekend of work. Any way we are nearly there and have a working kithchen/ bathroom, dining room, bedroom and finally a study. This means I may actually get round to bloggin a little more. Give me a shout if you want to come round for dinner and I will book you in with N.
This Saturday we are taking the yuf to Alton Towers to this event -

It's going to be a manic event with a sell out crowd likely. We seems to have a fair few going so we're really looking forward to it.
At work we have been put into teams of 5 and given £75. Great you might say but the challenge is we have to raise£750 using this £75 within a few months. I'm not sure quite how we are going to do it yet but if you have any ideas feel free to let me know. Oh - did I mention this is to support our companies project which is a school in Africathough Hope HIV.
Yuk - I'm ill. Apparently i have Man Flu but I know in my heart it is way more serious than that. I normally try and work on through coughs and colds but is one has been dragging on for 2 weeks and 3 days. So the upside to this is that I get to spend time in bed and I have managed to borrow a laptop so that I can catch up with all the blogging that I havn't been doing over the past month or so. Apologies for the verbal diarrha that will shortly be coming.
Absolute genius
