Good Morning Thread - Come say good morning, tell us what you've got on today. :)

We have this thread on TilersForums.com and it's just been restarted because the old thread had 20,000 replies and 500,000 views. And there were 700 pages. Started to lag a bit on slow connections.

I think we had a bash of this before, but I can't find the thread, so thought I'd start another one off.

If you have time in the mornings, come post in the thread before you head off to work, let us know what you've got on and what the weather is like in your area etc. Anything at all is fine.

Posts and likes get counted towards your total stats in this thread.

So GOOOD MORNING PEOPLE - WEATHER IS NICE TODAY IN STOKE. I'M THANKFUL IT'S FRIDAY, HAD A RUBBISH WEEK. THANK GOD IT'S OVER.

Thanks mate I'll take a look. I have some from Amazon, but when the kettle boils near them, they detach from each other and one cuts out. Starting to wonder why I got something I use daily off of Amazon. Was asking for it really. lol

Free hair cut this morning at the local hair training college , lovely girl who took her time and did a very decent job in only her second year...

 

[davesparks]

Currently trying to get six firework displays loaded in to vans, crews organised, briefed and despatched to their various jobs.

Then later I'll be setting up/supervising one of those six displays.

After that the real fun starts, packing it all up and unloading six vans full of dirty smelly equipment, cleaning it and putting it away.

If we could just move firework season into the summer months it would make it a lot nicer!

 

[littlespark]

I am van buying in the blinking rain.
Looks like its going to be another Berlingo to get back in business as quick as possible

 

[Moley]

Just did DGA and moisture tests on four transformer oil samples. The rest of the day is free

 

[JK-Electrical]

Up to my neck working through the pile of quotations and certificates that have accumulated on my desk. Been at it since 10 am and still not finished. I hate paperwork.

 

[Midwest]

I've been to the dentists this afternoon, and I've read its going to chuck it down tomorrow. Which is a shame cos I'm on call, and work place leaks like a 'bad word'!

 

[telectrix]

[Lou]

Been a busy day today running errands and stuff. Tomorrow going up to York to see my stepmum.

 

[Baddegg]

Glad this weeks over....midway through a loft conversion and the weather is killing me!...

 

[FatAlan]

Nipped up the A3 to Sandown Park, bacon butty and peruse round Elex. 1pm pub lunch then picked myself up an old Renault Kangoo van so I can finally have an official tip for all my kit.

 

[ferg]

Feeling like I've been hit by a train, absolutely knackered.. off to first fix a kitchen.

 

[GMES]

I was tied up in meetings most of the day, I've won a contract for a string of care homes so been dealing with that along with a couple of commercial and industrial rewires.
Today got a cheeky lay in while 8.
My morning will consist of copious amounts of coffee and I just need nip out to my sister's pet shop to stock up on goodies for Jack.
A couple of contracts to read through and then chill out for the rest of the weekend.

 

[Dan]

you could always give yourself a ban for a month.

 

[Dan]

you could always give yourself a ban for a month.

Tried find a rule that stipulated that and can't so I'd only end up then bitching about it on Facebook. Best keep me here so I don't be troublesome when I come back off my ban and stuff.

 

[littlespark]

Good morning everyone.
Had a proper lie in.... was almost 9 I got up... and that was just because my wifes mother phoned the house.
Hopefully picking up the new van today. Got one same model as I had, but a little bit newer... so the garage is swapping over my tow bar and getting a few niggles sorted (it was missing a rear parking sensor, but they'll just steal one from my old van)
Spend the rest of the weekend fitting out the back with my ply shelving.
Movie and pizza night tonight I think... because the child that doesn't like pizza is at a friends....

Did somebody say Just Eat?
No.... what a stupid advert!

 

[Baddegg]

Havnt seen my mother in law since I brought here a spell book last Christmas......some people are so touchy honestly!....

 

[Dustydazzler]

[Dan]

Good Morning People.

It's bloody Monday again god damn it.

Raining here in Stoke. Kinda glad, we burnt a lot of wood in the garden last night and I needed it to drizzle on it as the stones I put around the edge of the fire were boiling the water I was throwing at it. I gave up in the end. Christ knows how hot they still were but I was worried the dogs would run over them today.

They're definitely wet and cold again now. lol

What have you guys got on today / this week?

 

[Lou]

I feel poorly ????

 

[Dan]

Quiet day for me today. The local Ford dealer have told me my van is ready to pick up (Transit Custom with the current run of injector problems that all Transits are getting) so after 3 weeks I get my own van back. Other than that I'm on call today so should be sat on my arse at home getting full pay

Snow!.....now I really don’t want to look outside I knew I was cold but I don’t like the sound of that! ?

 

[littlespark]

SNOW! ffs, don’t tell my wife. She’ll be wanting the deco’s up.

Speaking of which... first job today is fairy lights up a tree!

Tomorrow is a paperwork day. Van going in to get signwriting.... signwritten??

 

[Wilko]

No snow but a little crispy around the edges.
Playing kitchen installer today, looking forward to drilling holes in cables I installed in safe zones last week ... hopefully not .
