I think it's safe to say I've had better weeks.

You clearly woke up at 3am as per usual Oh the luxury of just waking when you wake. I miss those days

Enjoy your extra hour in bed, you bunch of jammy gits?

Booked! Might have to get new pyjamas specially

Where's Isegrim when you need him?

Aye, that's tonight's treat. The last 3 have just been so mental that I've left over an hour late each morning, plus the person taking over from me has been off sick or slept in. You just know that tonight we're going to get nothing through the door and I'm going to be clock-watching all night. I start fantasising about how far away I could be from the place if I was on a plane for 12hrs instead....

Sleep, work (13hrs+ with no break) whinge, repeat x3. I'm a joy to be around at the moment

Result! Have you checked that it's right? Cos if they've made a mistake they'll ask for it back If it is legit - how the hell did they get it so wrong?

One of them moods when I wish I worked at Tesco. Also just realised tonight that when I was doing the rota for this week I should not have put myself in for an extra shift on Saturday night. Clocks go back - 12hrs becomes 13.

That carrot is my brother And that wall is St John Boste school, so pretty close.

You haven't changed a bit. Well, other than being taller..

I'm not even joking! Ignore the ancient cat - she's 21 and looking every year of it..

My parents have that carpet now!

Well if the petrol cap fits.... (I've no idea what that means but..... )

Bloody hell, do you pay for 'extras' cos that's canny service. What was wrong with it?

Bumped in case anyone has any new photos they want to share

I knew I could rely on you Found this... probably the last time I was in fancy dress.. And no, I'm not the carrot, the punk or the pirate

I dread to think! Thanks trooper - I'm beginning to think you're the only sensible one around here!

Nope, it's a free-for-all. Might bottle it and go in my work scrubs and an operating mask..

I'm being forced into going to a fancy dress party in a couple of weeks and am lacking both enthusiasm and imagination. I hate fancy dress but as it's a good friend's 40th birthday I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get on with it. I'm almost scared to ask for suggestions, but go on... Or, what have you lot gone as in the past? Pics would be even better

No, abolished in 1995.

His lawyer has just said it's likely he'll only be in jail for 10 months and then house arrest. Obviously it's been a horrendous situation, but looking at the bigger picture it's probably done the South African justice system no harm to be as transparent as it has been, given the history of the country. Judge Masipa is quite the formidable woman - I'll bet she's swigging from a bottle of Amarula as we speak.

So the firearms charge is wholly suspended then. And he'll realistically serve 2-3 years at most. Agree that it had to be a custodial sentence mind, although I've always been swayed towards his version of events, he still took that poor girl's life. I hope her family get a little bit of comfort from this.

She's dragging it out like...
