The Travels & Adventures of Flog-It Removals.

Isn't it funny how a trip back to the UK always means that you arrive back here with some kind of flu? I don't know why we bother, a couple of days away always means a week off work to recover. Bit of a hectic weekend that was as you can imagine, we partied until the early hours, and what a great “do” it was, thanks for a great party Frank, glad the hernia op went well almost straight afterwards too!!
 

After finally hitting the sack got woke up again about an hour later by our second youngest having a technicolour yawn, more like a shepherds pie making machine if truth be known, carrots, minced meat, the lot!! All it needed was a mashed potato topping. Then about an hour after finally getting back to bed it was time for the next one up to come back from the local pub where he had been watching some boxing match. Luckily he was sober at least but it still woke us up. So after an awful night it was an early start to hit the shops to do what shopping we could and as we did not rent a car we had to walk in wind, rain, snow, sleet and all the other crap that England could throw at us. Soaked to the skin, frozen to the bone with icicles in our hair it was a far from fun day shopping. One thing I did manage though was to replace Gertrude, she has not been on top form lately so a quick visit to Halfords got us the updated, younger version with the 2009 maps so all that is now needed is for her to be named and then we’ll stick the older version in the car for local use. At the end of the day we had a quick fish and chip supper, then back to base camp to catch up on X-Factor (good old Ruth the Rock-Chick still going strong) and then to bed. 3am and we were rudely awoken by a low battery warning on my phone!! What do we have to do to get some sleep round here? Taxi arrived at 04:30 to get us to EMA ready for the 06:30 Ryanair to Girona and by 10:00 we were home and ready to start work. Well we would have been if not for the lack of sleep and the dreaded lurgy so we went to a posh hotel for a full menu del dia on monogrammed plates, wine included for 10,50 Euro a head (cheaper than the fish & chips in yesterdays newspapers) and then back home again to suffer and die alone. Work? Mañana.
