While in work, Bhavin and I both decided to give something up for Lent. It was suggested I gave up Leeds United, sugar and beer. The first two would be impossible for me and the latter would be cheating, as I rarely drink beer anyway.
I set Bhavin the challenge of giving up chocolate, something else I would be unable to give up on medical grounds, due to suffering from a condition known as ‘Chocoholism’. 90 minutes into the challenge, Bhavin is struggling. I don’t think the fact both Ash and myself have been gorging on biscuits and chocolates, in a bid to break Bhavin down has helped him very much.
I finally decided to give up swearing – hence the title of today blog. Admittedly, I did say the F-Word this morning, but that was before I decided to make the sacrifice. I kind of slipped up when cooking my lunch and splashed myself with hot chicken soup. I yelled “Oh my God”. In my defence, there is a lot worse I could have said and I had just suffered third-degree burns.
Will I last 40 days? I fupping hope so!

This "NWD", however, allows me to stay at home, wearing my pyjamas all day, should I so wish....

Introducing the Office Bunny!
Yes, that is Shaun the Sheep peering up at the camera. He had been sitting on top of my computer for the past 5+ years, but was kicked off his throne this morning by Rabbit Di Nero.
I am aware that sharing my workspace with a stuffed, life size rabbit could be considered...

This week is my last working five days
Monday to Friday is over for me.
From next week, I will no longer be working Tuesdays.
Dropping a day is not a decision that I took lightly. It will obviously have financial implications for me, plus now I have signed that change of conditions form, there is no going...
- I’ve Had Better Days: Part 2
The clocks have now gone back, I had a good night's sleep and have now settled down to blog the second installment of my Friday Frights, while Claire watches Liverpool play Spurs.
Where did we finish off last night? Oh yes, I had cleaned Neil Warnock and nursed him back to full, loud health. No idea...
