Well, amongst other things, for Christmas I got the TIX clock I wanted for my sitting room,

and the latest maps I wanted for my TomTom Sat Nav.  With some money I received I have bought myself a new watch today - solar powered and keeps itself accurate by receiving MSF national time signals from Rugby.

Off to see some of my family today - having a pub lunch and then we will open all our pressies in the afternoon.

Back to work tomorrow

On Saturday I decided it would be a good idea if I invited a couple of work colleagues for some drinks and a bite to eat after work the following day.  At close of business on Sunday afternoon, ‘a couple’ ended up being eight of us and we shot off to the nearest pub for a drink, and then on to another pub for food and more drink.

Harry then suggested we all go back to his place for a house warming party coz he hadn’t had one since he moved in.  The non-drinkers then kindly acted as free taxis so we could all get changed and of course we stopped off at Bargain Booze on the way for supplies.

We all had a good evening and vowed to do something similar again soon.

Had the car serviced yesterday and drove down to Abingdon last night with Tina.  Spent today training at Miele’s Experience Centre.  Very impressed with the facilities and course content.

It was dad’s 81st birthday today, which happened to coincide nicely with one of my days off this week, so I took both mum & dad over to my sister’s place in Bromsgrove for the day.  We had a nice meal at a Harvester and a good day generally.

I got an invite from Kat to join Facebox.com a while back and so I did.  I had an e-mail invitation from Will to join Bebo.com this evening, so I’ve joined there too (although I’ve still got to complete my profile).  These so called social networking websites are certainly very popular and there are loads more like them out there.

It will be interesting to see what happens now I’ve reached out across the web a bit more, although the jtonline.info site will remain my main focus.
