I'm such a fucking chav wannabe.

House of Fraser have got all their BOSS gear in their sale. Bought one thing before Xmas, now get 24 emails a day about their sale!!

That's a good point actually, I need to find my BOSS knitwear for work

Black BOSS jumper and Adidas Handball Spezials provide me with camouflage when I visit the mothership.

Installed a pair of wheel bearings on a bike, and managed to brake a hammer handle. The hammer headbarely missed my face.

So much for a quick job.

We have a new bike rack for the back of the car but MrsM’s Levo of doom likes to rotate its front wheel out of its clamp no matter how hard you clamped it in so on the old rack I’d bought a Fiamm extra brace which did the job.

The new rack is a different shape so ordered the next size up brace which was miles too long. Fiamm do an adjustable length clamp but at £42 & postage I thought I’d try modifying the too long clamp. I spent a couple of hours measuring and trimming the bracket tube down, carefully extracting the old clamp out of the redundant bit of tube (lots of dremel action) before fitting it to the revised arm. Jobs a good’un.

I'll sell you a few Boss pedals.

I don't think they'd fit my push iron.

2 bloody hours weeding. I hate it, but looks good when finished. Filled 2 wheelbarrow loads.

Hung a gate, moved some mattresses, drunk tea.

Can you not just neck the weeds with good old weedkiller?

Most (of what's on sale here) are fine once dried. Shouldn't be a problem for you!

I'm happy to use some, but management has other ideas. But she does the weeding normally

Home brew pet safe and cheep

Pour 1 gallon of white vinegar into a bucket. 5-percent household white vinegar is fine. ...
Add 1 cup of table salt. ...
Stir in 1 tablespoon of liquid dishwashing soap. ...
Blend all thoroughly and then funnel the weed killer into a plastic spray bottle.

Rather appropriate when Yozzer has weeds growing up through volcanic 'soil'.

If that's the company car you need to have words....

Hope it all works out in a most epic fashion for you.

Did you not go the self employed route then?
