It's the joy of doing project work for the government. Lots of time spent on the road visiting random places!

Oh god yeah I hate 80:20. The joy of being the boss is I can and literally do chuck anyone out of a meeting who mentions it!

Had a great day up in Manchester watching Leeds Rhinos win the Grand Final at Old Trafford. It rained literally all day and Manchester has SO MANY ROADWORDS around it at the moment that made getting in and out of there a bit of a nightmare but we had a fantastic day.

Spent a fair bit of money in Trafford Centre as well, including buying a chocolate brownie that had rainbow skittles filling from Selfridges!

So my son decided he doesn’t want to go to swimming anymore and wants to pursue his hockey. I’ve found an academy which runs on a Monday evening so all good and we’re heading there tomorrow for the first time. I soooo wish I was fitter as I used to love playing hockey and they have several teams (including a veterans). Who knows, it might encourage me to increase my fitness and give it a go.

Stepson used to play Hockey when he was at school. I just remember a LOT of driving and a LOT of cold Sunday mornings out in the middle of nowhere while I hid in the car with the heating turned up on full blast!

Lol. I have cased the joint and it would appear on extra cold days (for practice and home games at least), I can park the car facing the Astro pitch and watch from the warmth of the car. There’s a Costa drive-thru en route so I’m sorted in that regard too. Will need a contingency for away matches. Thermals and waterproofs at the ready I think ;)

Oh wow, the Lake District has some amazing hotels BUT ONLY ONE LAKE!

Oh the arguments I've got myself into about the one lake ha ha - good trivia question though.

... but what about Lake Windermere ... <head in hands Giphy thingy>

Haha just seen the posts about government terms! Do you also do 'lean thinking'? That's the latest thing to hit our hospital

I still play every week and I love it. Give it a go!! Lots of clubs have ‘back to hockey ‘ sessions for people who haven’t played for a while!

Anyone else having trouble with Receipt Hog at the mo? Everytime I click to take a photo it crashes.

Reported it to them but can't do my receipts in the mean time :(

(Also uninstalled and reinstalled the app and cleared cache)

I'm on a train from Liverpool at the moment so there's none on sale round here! Gotta love the scousers for managing to ban an entire newspaper from entering their city!
