Alex for Elevenses
Great to be back in the hot seat today.
And it's light!
Light on the way to work for the first time this year. This run for us is a busy busy time. Royal Wedding, The Hay Festival and our Children In Need four day extravaganza. So leggings on, head down and off we go. Try to keep up now.

It was great to have you back on air this morning, although my Poddypod had a good workout in your absence!
It must be the time of year for busyness - 4 days at work for us and then 11 days off packed full of fun and lovely stuff! Then I think May will be a "feet won't touch the ground" kind of month - all outside of work as nowt's changed on that front: I'm still sat at my desk counting passing cars for 40 hours a week!
Hope everyone else is keeping ok. Sorry for absinthe, I just didn't really have anything to say so thought I'd say nothing .......

I am glad you had a good break, you were missed.
Afternoon to everyone else, I hope you are fine and well on this lovely sunny April Monday and it's a four day week as well - hip hip hooray. For all of you on your holidays have a nice relaxing time.
I just thought I'd share with you the following: The church hot water boiler started to drip, so I called in BG who are responsible for it and they said it just needed a new part. So imagine my surprise when they sent me a quote for 拢1,800 + VAT for a brand new boiler. According to them the part wasn't available anymore. Well I wasn't settling for that so called in an independant boiler specialist who fixed it for 拢146. So if you live near me and need the name of a good boiler fixer then let me know. I shall be phong BG later on to tell them - can't wait :)

I too only have the next couple of days at work. I finish on Thursday lunchtime, when I then collect the keys to our new pad and then on Good Friday it's moving day - hurrah! Thereafter, I will be able to enjoy a garden on days and evenings such as this - can't wait.
There's a bit more packing to do but we're now living with2 x plates, cups and bowls. Luckily I batch-cooked at the weekend so that the pots 'n pans could be packed, and I've just about got enough pants to last me until Friday ......

.. you are not a lone voice. I quite like Richard Madeley. Despite his propensity for amiable tw*ttishness, he's a really decent and kind human being. I know this from a friend who knows him well.
However, I went into cringe mode on 2 occasions during the last week - complimenting the half indian vicar on his tan [hoots of laughter] and the offhand rudeness about Marmalade the 60s band. Muchos grovelage. that was funny as well.
I'm sure Liza will do a fine job in the Drivetime seat.
I really wish, though, that the R2 stand-ins did a proper blog entry as part of their brief - it would make for an interesting read and perhaps ease the difficulties that 'too many posts attached' seem to be causing nowadays.

Chrissie - I've managed to get rid of another bag of clothes to the charity shop since the last van-load. I gave a bag of clothes to a work colleague for her and/or her daughters (stuff I've never worn/grown out of etc) and the following day she came in wearing two of the items - it was really strange seeing my wardrobe walking past my desk!!!
Sorry about the 'pants' mention - that was probably a bit too much detail. Mind you, it could have been 'commando' time if I hadn't managed to salvage some undies before 'im indoors buried the suitcases under a pile of boxes!

I have been guilty of 'over posting' in the past, so hope it wasn't me that contributed to the posting system change, which is incidentally a pain in the wotnot, especially next door, where they are being punished far more severely than on here!
A three minute delay, is absolutely ridiculous.
Well done Katy, keep up the good work.

Steve, I'm sure RM is a really nice guy but just wish he didn't try to act like a smoothy on the radio.
Annie, thank you for your help getting me off the naughty step. LOL!
KandKs, what a clever girl you are, well done on all the building work. Saw your photos on fb.
Rosie, hope you have a lovely day out.
Mary, glad you had a lovely weekend with your nieces. Mine was good thank you. What you said about the ironing made me smile, and yes it's a wonderful feeling when it's all done until the next lot appears.
Bids, glad you had a nice week and your daughter had a lovely birthday.

My news, not the big news that I'm still not allowed to tell you, but other good news is that I have found a new work contract at a different firm once I leave here at the end of the month. Only 6 months but its local and well paid and a saggy old cloth cat shouoldn't complain

I think i must be very lucky, haven't really had any major problems with the blog. Mine doesn't bounce (oo-er missus!) and occasionally a post won't go up straight away but I usually get there eventually!
Hope it all gets sorted out

Fingers crossed this lovely weather lasts until Friday .... there's nothing worse than trying to move your furniture and boxes in the rain, and I do not want a soggy mattress ta very much!

Great show this morning Chris. I can be found (last door on the right) singing (badly) my heart out to the tunes!
I would just like to give my opinion (for what tit is worth) regarding RM. I can honestly state that I do not find him offensive at all. What I would say though is that he does not captivate me as a listener either. When he is on I find myself simply listening to the music in the background. ;-)
With our very own CLP it is a different story, I feel he makes me (the listener) feel part of the show by his enthusiasm and general up beat delivery of the show. Nuff said鈥︹
I am rather enjoying my ability to be able to blog from work! Thanks you to my IT team!
Keep smiling

I agree about RM but i think that's part of his "charm" as it were. I think it's good that 成人快手 does that with the holiday relief as it gives us a break from the usual and also a chance to hear someone we wouldn't maybe listen to.
Penny,
RA is a top top DJ very underrated i feel. I used to listen to him a LOT when he did Sat afternoons. Not that keen on SW anymore and haven't been for a long time. JV is good in his slot. Not listened VF but i used to like SK when i was up that early. KB has me in stitches and i like the choice of ZB as his holiday relief. I heard LT as replacement for SM the other evening . . she's another good relief. It's a shame that R&M have moved to 6 as i thought they bought something to R2 that hadn't been there for before (although i do concede that 6 is prob their natural home) I miss ML and his various shows gave me a chance to listen to listen to stuff i'd have no hope or desire of listening to otherwise. AL is good in his slot as well. I think he's well suited to the graveyard shift.
Morning folks :-D
I hope all's well in your part of the world.
Steve :-D

Enjoying the lovely weather although shame I am in the office and not outside.
Having my prawn sandwich and packet of Walkers ready salted - yummy.
Scone for pud or maybe afternoon tea-break - depends how long I can resist.
Congrats on the assignment Deev. Sorry you are missing your Dad, but concentrate on the happy memories, not the loss xx
Well done on the new contract, Baggy.
Enjoy the rest of your day, everyone.
Oh had a nice surprise today - got my travel folder out to bring passport into office to photocopy it and I found 100 euros left from last March's trip to Portugal.
That will make a nice start to the holiday spending for my 4 days in Lanzarote in May!
