I waited 2 weeks on the rest of my fencing coming. The turf arrived first and had to be laid within 3 days. Now the workmen willhave to put boards on the new turf to build the rest of the fence. Feckers...

Just got my car insurance renewal, they're putting it up by about £4.60p this year. How can it go up when we're not allowed to drive the feckin' things?

Everything will be going up when the get a grip on this virus, VAT 25% for a start,
some feckers got to pay for it and that means Joe, The MP's will still get a rise thought for all the hard work they have done

I'm sorting out all my invoices and receipts for 2019. Feckin hate doing this stuff. Have them all sorted into months on the table and now I have to total each month and break down each total into its different categories. I could leave it all for the accountant but he would charge an extra 50 quid for the pleasure

Janet did all that at work and loved it, but get her to go through all mine she would kick off, I use to say i don't know what your problem is you do this all day long, I would sit her at my desk with a bin either side, one was shred it the other was pending because it may need to come out,
The trouble with her she is just straight honest 2018 19 was more or less done and we had to sit with him for 2 bleeding hours i was glazing over and not paying attention, towards the end he slipped me a piece of paper over with the words Reg can you put together what this is for £293k I slipped it over to Janet and i am sure she farted when we got outside in the car she said WTF is that lot ? calm down i said there will be a perfect explanation, 5 Range Rovers and Lukes house took care of it bar some change, then he had an ulcer and nearly died he got over that and this lock down started, few weeks back we signed it off and payed out taxes, no problem Janet said i have never known anybody with more teflon than you, dont know why she still gets surprised i really dont

Re: What are you doing today??
Speaking of string lines, I went past my shop yesterday and there is a caravan parked up 1 meter on to my land ( Italians again ) so i pulled up and this guy is sat in it looking like he was on holiday
Err WTF i said ? he says its ok i have permission from the shop owner, Well i own this fecking shop i haven't given you permission, so i whipped out my string line that has been in the boot since last time and took it from the corner to the boundary, I calmed down and said " please remove the caravan because i will be putting up a retaining wall and it is in the way, now i have to seek permission from the tenant and she has just phoned me and said i dont mind the caravan being there
FMR will i ever see the back of these KENTS
