Just completed my online application to change my driving licence to French. Pressed Confirm and downloaded the confirmation and just realised that at no point was there a place to upload my proof of categories on my licence :roll: :roll:

FFS - that'll slow down the application :roll:

Visiting places like that is an essential part of the build-up to Christmas.

In particular, hunting for the 'singing snowmen' or similar with the "Try me!" buttons.

Then pressing the button.

On Every Single One :D

Sitting at work listening to the wind HOWLING outside, might be a broken railway later.

Getting a headache! The bathroom fitters are knocking down a brick cupboard and channeling out walls with a jack hammer and it's vibrating the whole place, and my teeth! :wtf: I know it'll be worth it though, but fooking hell! :D

The roast last night turned out well, it was chicken, we've not had that for years, usually do beef, but wanted to try something else. I love a roast and how it warms the house.

I'm knackered! I've cooked -

Beef, Broccoli and Mushrooms in oyster sauce
Beef Satay
BBQ ribs (need to thicken the sauce, but the ribs are soaking in it for the night!)
Char Sui Pork - not traditional, just a couple of chops done in the sauce. I only want that for a chow mein tomorrow!

I've also cooked some noodles for the chow mein


Tomorrow I have to do spring rolls, make the chow mein, cook the chicken balls and heat the S&S sauce. Then, when my friends get here, one is going to do egg fried rice and someone else is bringing salt and pepper chips. Think a few others are adding to the menu too!!

Got to get up early and go to physio, then the accountant. After that it's back to nocatsit house to finish the cooking :D :D

First time I've cooked for friends in about a year :o :o :D :D

If they've got the Bumming Hat, you could be in trouble.
