You are not far off

Got woken up by the alarm on Mrs Swiss's phone.
Thought " why the hell has she set the alarm for 7 on a SUNDAY "

Then realised it was Monday. Felt depressed

Looked out the window at the ****ty weather. Felt even more depressed

I'm considering "working from home" on Friday, thus accelerating Thursday to Friday status and technically making today Tuesday

Blooming tube strike as well

Lazy ******* striking because they are worried it might cause issues with health and safety... the same idiots who announce at the stations that when it is raining we should take care due to the 'adverse weather conditions '


It's rain for ****s sake. If a passenger cant negotiate a slightly damp tiled floor, then what hope have we

Oh well that means I will be stuck in the car for hours no doubt

Simple answer to tube strikes; don't live/work in London

Maybe middle England; the Land that government forgot....we get to drive cars round here beacuse we have no public transport or congestion tax

Unfortunately there is **** all to drive to due to the economy and everything shutting down.

But at least its sunny this morning

I actually like Mondays DCI.

Only for the simple reason that after the weekend I can ship them off to school!
Luckily my daughter only does a half day. As much as I can't wait to get them to school, I am just as eager to bring them home.

Nothing better than some Oasis playing away full blast while I get some housework done.

What I want to know is........why is it that I can't wake up when the alarm goes off on a weekday, yet at the weekend, I always wake up before the time that the alarm would go off, and then can't get back to sleep? Grrrrrrrrrrr...........



Morning, by the way DCI!

Mondays have never bothered me as I have always worked weekends so effectively weekends don't exist to me. Wednesdays and Thursdays are pure grim time for me though.

Ah, and I'm sitting in the hot sun, reclined watching my fish swimming around. Is it really Monday and is there ever a difference?

Mondays have just one saving grace, they put an end to the blissful weekend with my delightfully charming 3 teenage children Today I left work and took the long way home just to make sure the car got a good run, obviously

How did you guess .... Friday nights at 18:47 are OK - as are all day Saturdays but things start to deteriorate at around 16:52 on a Sunday and WHAM!! (no GM jokes please) the next thing is its ******* Monday again...

It's like a cruel joke

Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves.

Not a fan of Tuesday's or Wednesday's either, however, today I got spoiled rotten by previously mentioned teenagers as I've aged another year, like a good wine. I then bought copious amount of cakes to take into work and eat myself and took a much longer detour to work as I really dont use enough fuel Not too bad so far..... I plan to leave work as early as possible before someone spoils it
