Happy birthday sis

April 24th is Angies birthday - so happy birthday sis! Hope you have a good day and if it hasn't arrived then the card is in the post.

Quick update

Things just seem so hectic ALL the time. Mark returns to Uni after the next Bank Holiday weekend for the last few weeks before his finals. So far he's stayed on track for a 1st class degree in Maths, let's hope it stays that way.

Andy got certificated Wednesday to work on car air conditioning systems - from July it's law so Stratstone put him up for the qualification. At the moment he has a back problem gained when trying to change a tyre at work using the supplied, but faulty, tyre changer. So now he is under doctor's orders and is on light duties at work.

Suzie is busy organising the elections - local and general. Monday she had to go to London to proof read the ballot papers being used across Derby - it was a long day with me picking her up at the railway station at 21:30.

Last week was a good week for me - every day I used the bike to commute. This week the frosts have returned and I refuse to ride at below 4 degrees C, so it's back to the car. But I'm lucky, at least I'm in work - the unemployment figures released this week say there are 2.5m unemployed. The bike is as good as ever, the car is in need of some sorting and a service, but that will have to wait until after payday (28th).

On a slightly more serious note - I found out this evening that Chris has got Glandular Fever. Get well soon sis and I hope Wayne and the boys are looking after you.
