Viagogo-gone?
So then, having endured all the inevitable pisstaking from Aded Value when I sent round the 'anyone for 2 Olly Murs tickets?' email, I then decided to explore a whole new world. That of the online ticket resale facility. Nipped onto Viagogo, checked out what price other punters with tickets were trying to re-sell their Olly…

Olly Murs anyone??!!
For some slightly obscure reason Mr H thought it might be nice to buy two tickets to see Olly Murs at the O2 on Sat 4th Feb. We're now away on holiday (surprise surprise) that week, so anyone fancy making us any kind of offer for the seats?? Typically they are the best I've ever…

Seasonal pix and a Happy New Year!
Bloody hell, have bought a new laptop and for some reason the sodding thing won't upload photos onto the blog. How annoying???? So am sitting at my desk at 6pm when its dark as a dark thing on a dark day in a dark place outside (ie time to go home and hunker down) and…

The Crimbo Report
Blimey, how is Christmas the only decent-length break of the year that often doesn't feel like one?? Must be all that rushing around, finishing work, prepping stuff, making lists, buying food and yet more food, sorting presents, tree, guests, tidying, feeding, clearing up, doing it all over again with the next set of people and…

The Run up to Christmas

Red tape lunacy
So this week, three great examples of British bureaucracy and red tape, as regards poor old Mum: 1. Blue Badge: To get a Blue Badge so we can use disabled parking spaces, you need two passport photos of the applicant. But to get passport photos I need to be able to park near a photo…

My results
A massive PHEW can be heard across SW19 at this point in time. Saw Prof on Tuesday, shifted appt so Hawksey could come, and thank god the paraprotein score is still STABLE. A bloody great word to hear and one that fits well with the festive period (beats Donkey, anyway). Talking of which, just remembered…

PS On Rick
Forgot to say the (probably obvious) that we are not telling Mum anything about Rick's condition, so just in case you should speak to her, please do not mention it at all. Thanks guys.

My brother
So, it's not been a great week in the Scott family world, as we had some pretty awful news with regard to my older brother, Richard. Heather, his wife, got in touch last week to say that Rick had some pretty serious health worries, but that he wasn't ready to tell us as yet, as…
