Changes and update
This weekend will hopefully see a blog revamp. Which will mean some jiggerypokery and hopefully a new look.
This is because I'm reverting this to be my primary blog again, as double blogging is putting me off doing it. Which should also mean more posts. I'll close the blog on my main site but simply direct link this one from there instead. I have a few days off work so no excuse really...
Think I need the time off work, yet again yesterday was a nightmare. My coach to London was already an hour late getting to me but luckily I was only 10 minutes late departing again.
But the traffic on the M1 was chaos as a woman decided to kill herself near Milton Keynes (according to BBC she 'fell'). My controller called me with road status (no company phone on my bus to do it myself), queueing from J14 back for 5 miles. So planned to come off at J13, divert through MK on A421, nip up A5 and enter Watford Gap's rear passage.
Except the queue started way way before J13, pretty much standstill. 7pm I was about 3 miles from the junction, 7.40 I just got off at 13. A good run MK and part of A5, stuck again aproaching A508 island adding more time, then clear again for rest of A5 stretch.
Eventually got to the Gap at 9.05 (normal arrival time between 6.45-7.15 normal rush hour traffic depending). Gave the people a toilet break then the next driver left at 9.15. Well he tried, the gearbox wouldn't engage (it was a bloody Magic Bus from Manchester, that was covering for a breakdown earlier in the day, which is why it was late to me!). So they had to wait for the next one to Manc/Pre, also running very late.
I was supposed to return to London again at 8.15, after having a 45min break, no chance. Instead I was put onto the late Leic/Notts which was OK.
So pretty chaotic all round, a few breakdowns across the network, irate passengers who want the world (most are understanding and patient, they're great).
Today's shift will go brilliantly, of course. I'll leave on time with a coach that runs at 68mph, have no traffic jams, manage to keep a constant 43mph through the duration of the roadworks (yeah right, always get stuck behind idiots running at 37 and they won't pull across forcing us all to weave between them...), then I'll have a great run up with time to stop for a break, I'll have nobody on for Brum so I can skip it (there'll be at least 1 as usual lol), M6 will not be closed from J6 to J5 for a change so I can have a great run back to the depot.
Yeah OK, we'll see...!
Ordered my new car radio, just waiting for that to arrive in the next few days. It's not right driving my car in silence, think I'll go crazy soon.

I think you've gone crazy already! *hugs*
Your sarcasm is fantastic; she "fell". Ha! Mind you... I can understand anyone's motivation to "fall" sometimes.
I handed my notice in at work today, which means more time for meeeee. When is your time off? I owe you a visit so badly! It's been aaaaages.

That sarcasm is the BBC's I can't claim that one I'm afraid... but it's good though.
Yeah I can understand people's woshed to escape this hell hole, but it's not right that they interrupt thousands of people in doing so. Ah well.
I'll have to get back to you with my forthcoming days off.

A new, fun louis vuitton is to dye her wedding, or bridal, Hogan shoes to match her and her bridal party dresses. Hogan shoes can be dyed to match the bride's louis vuitton bags dress as well as the bridesmaid's shoes, even the flower girl's shoes, all Monogram Roses Canvas perfectly. Also, if a bride chooses to dye her own wedding shoes she can go a step further and customize her dyed shoes to match her veil by adding MonogramRubis shimmer or color to both her shoes and her veil and accent them both with rhinestones or scattered pearls.
