Woke up this morning and had a large bowl of Jordan's strawberry country crunch with strawberry pouring yogurt it would have been more enjoyable sat on a patio of a villa in Italy or Greece with a view of a blue sea and a white beach, oh to be on foreign shores with a sun tan and a camera and of course a i-pod loaded with favorite tunes.I watched U2 on BBC2 last night i would love a rock and roll lifestyle well the traveling and hotel room bit i would not complain about living out of a suitcase if i had the money i be gone today well with one other person of course.

Break up tomorrow for a fortnight off , i am still working on a evening but will have the days free. Which means late nights with a good chance of a sleep in.
After these two weeks i work for another three weeks then i am officially redundant.
i will be looking for another full time job be lucky to get one on the salary i am currently on although its was going to drop in November by around £4500 a year.
Not sure what i am doing on my two week break i had to take the time of or loose it they would not pay me my holidays if they had would have worked straight through and got another £800 in my final wage.
I have not had a decent holiday in years so once i do get made redundant its a possibility to go off abroad for a few weeks,the way i see it i have worked twenty years at one company for the last eleven years of that twenty i have worked two jobs i reckon i deserve some sun sea and the other .

LISTENING TO :- Pitbull "Planet Pit"

went looking at caravans today some proper bargains really high spec a mobile home is out of the question looking at three times as much and getting the same interior obvious the extra cost is to cover the van aspect engine towing is by far a better option ( will update this post later)

Saturday
woke up to sunshine decided to go to York using the park and ride ,arrived just after one love the layout of york its a roman walled city and really wanted to walk along the wall and take loads of photos today we didn't really have enough time,would also like to photograph as many gargoyles as i could again not enough time , as always took photos of york Minster , a lot of japanese tourists doing the same wish i had a penny for every photo every took every body with a camera must take at least six photos.
Went to Drakes fish restaurant which was very good value although helen thought the chips could have been fried for longer.



There was a lot of buskers out on the streets and a artist doing caricatures of people there was a man playing a piano and another artist painting and selling his scenes of around york .
There was new shops that we had'nt seen before one selling Apple products and we still would like to do a ghost walk and go to the dungeons and Jovik centre we really need to do a long weekend.

Well mt redundancy comes in to force on the 31st of July , hopefully it wont be all doom and gloom and i will eventually get another job. There is chance i have got extra shifts cleaning on a weekend when the theaters we clean on a night and at last audit got 100% pass mark i can and go clean them when they have a operating list on certain Saturdays forthwith.hopefully there will be cover during the week as well so not on the bread line just yet.
contemplating buying a caravan only two berth for around £2500 already got a tow-bar and electrics fitted on the Freelander and if the worse comes we can be gypsy's no that would make this blog a lot more interesting

Sunday
went to Meadow Hall my daughter took her i-phone 4 back because of speaker problems it was exchanged for a new i-phone 4, my partner Helen took her i-phone 3 back because of reception issues and was given a new phone as well in both cases no arguing , no asking for receipts , no hassles , no interrogation just a straight new for old swap , a result in both cases.

There was other there taking apple stuff back from air books to screens as far as i see every one was being treated as good if i need to buy anything apple its nice knowing if there is a issue it will be dealt with fixed or replaced free of charge , no one was getting stressed out we did have to make an appointment but it was well worth it.

Saturday
bought a new drill from Wickes was a bit dubious hope its value for money, Tried it out at Louise she needed a key cupboard fixing to the wall which it did no problem but they where only block walls.

Sunday Went to the moors took a load of panoramic photos which turned out better than i thought it was cold wet and raining the mist came down and within twenty minutes Dovestone was completely shrouded in mist , a hour later the sun is out and its hot.





Monday bank holiday - Went to meadow hall to the Apple store to get both Helens i-phone and my daughters i-phone checked out Louise also came with us , picked my daughter up from her house then it was straight on the m1 to sheffield it was packed what with it being a bank holiday and lousy weather it was a night mare parking , we have to go back sunday we had to make an appointment to see one of the technicians.
Went back via the moors stopped off at the Ford inn for a drink
