For Ziggy

Did you have a good first day at work :thumb: :D

 

Cheers Ali,

Ached all over after the first day, OK now. Didn't think to ask about pay, just needed the work, found out i'm getting £100 a day when i'm in the van or £140 if I get sent on my own, like today, got sent to Weston Super Mare to do some carpentry & painting.

3 days ago, the ladies house looked like a car had crashed into her front room (cause it had) Today it looks as good as new.

Wish someone had told me Weston Super Mare is nearly the size of Bristol. I need a satnav.

 

Ziggy, you live in Somerset and you`ve never been to Weston? Even I`ve been to W-S-M.:gnthb::hehe:

 

:hehe: I have now Dai:hehe:, ever been to Blaenau FFestiniog ?:yez:

I've always just thought of the place as a destination for holiday makers from Birmingham, never really fancied going there.

 

glad you survived! My daughters childminder (many moons ago) had a car crash through her living room wall whilst she dozing on a sofa that was againnst said wall.....scary stuff!
Is Ffestiniog where the railway is? Is so I have been there as a child

 

This could be a spoiler Marley, I was saving what I did to Dunster Castle for the other, other thread :wink:



Yes Ali, that is the place with the little railway & a constant cloud over it :cry:

 

All will be revealed next week young grasshopper.:shk:

 

I thought the days were meant to grow short as we reach september.

Mine hasn't, left home at 7am, finished the Weston job, was told to find the next job in Midsomer Norton, after several phone calls, found the job was actually in Radstock & I'd been looking for the right road in the wrong town.

Time we'd put the jigsaw puzzle of a wall back together I was pointing up by car head lights. Got home at 9pm.

Bit tired

 

Good job it wasn't Midsomer Norton. They have a lot of murders and ham actors there.

 

That thought did go thru my head, there was nearly a murder when a van driver pulled up & asked directions. My mate (who was holding a brick axe) said it was a good job he hadn't pulled up & said "you're not building that right"

On the bright side, i'd never driven from weston to inspector Barnaby country before, that part of the Mendips is stunning. Small almost alpine villages with narrow winding roads & girt lakes & ponds.
