What should have been a hour long job over at Ravenshead ended up taking me 3 hours and all for an hours pay! 2 and a quarter hours of that I was stuck in traffic on the A38 because yet another prick managed to roll his caravan.... I'm with definitely with Jeremy Clarkson on this one!

Up on shed roof fixing leaks and catching some rays. Bloody bitumin paint's a swine to get off skin though.

Dunno what I'm going to do now. I normally only get offered Maxwell House or Nescafe. The customer who I've just been working for has some kind of Carlos Fandango, Turbo 3000, uber coffee maker, with added thrust facility. I drank so much of the stuf the other day, I started seeing through time.

What a flippin' day! Broke my old paste table and had to hightail it over to B&Q and buy a new one so that I could finish a customer's job off. Knocked my Walkman into the paste bucket. Misjudged my step coming down off my ladder, only two rungs up luckily, and came down sideways on my ankle, the pain was phenomenal, it went up my leg and into my back, shot out of my left ear 'ole, flashed across the ceiling, and out of the window, arced across the lawn and earthed itself in next doors cat. Then, just as I'd hung the last bit of paper, I realised that I had a doctors appointment in less than 45 minutes and had to drive like the clappers of hell to get back to Belper in time. Strange how things can change isn't it? Yesterday was so restful, just me, a roller and a big tub of paint. :)

Doing a job at home. Yes, I finally got a spare hour to myself! Her indoors broke the kharzi flush in the upstairs loo. Problem is, it's a close coupled unit and the bolts are rusted solid. Tried hacksawing them, spaying them with Plus Gas, twisting them loose with an adjustable wrench, prying them off. Not a chance. Now I have to completely take out the whole crapper, turn it upside down and attack it with an impact driver from underneath, before I can fit a new flush. I'm not best pleased right now. I've a good mind to let her keep on using the pastry brush flush method. Grrrrrrrr! :(

Jeez. What's with this humidity? I was fiiting a new doorstep at a customer's home this evening, not exactly hard physical labour, and I was sweating like a glass blower's arse! It was like the tropics by 6pm.

Just been out to do a quote at a customer's home. So he opened the door to me and said. "I haven't got a clue about DIY. Can you do anything about this? It keeps falling down." Then he pointed to a coat rack that he'd attached to the wall with self adhesive velcro. Some days you don't know whether to laugh or cry. ;)

I did that! Shame I forgot to take before photos. It was like a jungle. I managed to fill a long wheelbase, high roof Transit van with cuttings, clippings, topsoil, and associated rotting garden crap. And that was before I could even think about making it look pretty. :)

Fitting a new monoblock kitchen tap in the tiniest one bedroomed rabbit hutch that I've ever worked in. I had to take the sink out and all of the undersink drain plumbing just to get to the water inlet pipes. I have never seen a customer look so worried in the whole of my life. :). I love days like today... Lol.

Fitting smoke alarms for Mister Grumpy today. Most of my customers are lovely. I want to hug them and pet them, and call them George. And then you just get the odd one or two that you have to fight the urge to throw a 2lb lump hammer at.

Going totally insane on what should have been the most simple electrical job ever, while slowly cooking in a bread oven of an attic. Mother said I'd have days like this. :(
