Went to Dessie's tires, was in Halfords later in the afternoon getting spark plugs unexpectedly, while there had a peak, there ones were €120. Dessie's are no doubt handy but their prices are a tad looney, still Stephen's Day and all.

Re the spark plugs........

just make sure you let it plugged in all the time:D those packs use the same SLA batteries as UPS systems so designed for constant power, otherwise it will go dead and stay dead!

Mine was dead due to old age, the ones the breakdown lads use cost a good bit more than 120 euro.

How's everyone's xmas. I've moved back up to Dublin again to get stuff done. Living alone - can get used of this

Wasn't overly looking forward to it so it was great if you catch my drift.

either tomorrow or Thursday (most likely Thursday:P) I need to do a full 10 hour days work, If this keeps up until January I'll never get back into it!

NoDice

Christmas was great and I genuinely believe 2011 will be a better year as 2010 ended so well. I took it far too easy in work in the run up to Christmas and now that it's over I have two months of solid overtime to "look forward to".

any sort of take away sounds appealing now as long as it doesnt consist of turkey, chocolate or alcohol:p dextox tomorrow:cool:

NoDice

Detox before NY? I don't understand why so many people do this; loads of my friends quit drinking for January!

Know what you mean though. So sick of turkey!

OH man just had more. It's 3:50am!

I'm after turning into night owl. Happens when off from work

Anyone out there? It get's boring this time of night

I'm just off to bed, same as you, when I'm not at work I rarely go snoozing before 4am. Was out of work for 3 months a few years ago, had a phone interview at 8.30am one morning, had to stay up the entire night beforehand as I was afraid I wouldn't wake up for it.

Role on Tuesday :rolleyes:

Yeah I'd be like this all time if not working. It feels weird not seeing day light.

Yeah not looking forward to tuesday. Thinking of not going bed Monday morning and just going through entire day and collapsing when I get home.

Good night to you sir!

NoDice

Morning guys. Man I can't wait till things get back to normal again. Don't get me wrong; I love Christmas and NYE but I'm just sick of the crappy tv, the bus schedule changes, shop opening hour changes..

I think I'm in a bad mood cause my alarm didn't go off this morning. :mad:

Sephiroth_dude
