Another busy day today, got finished at 4pm (which was an improvment on yesterdays 6pm at least!)

I've had my pudding :dance (reduced price cadbury chocolate doughnuts), so now hot bath, then dinner, then bed!

Most peculiar.

Was delivering to a tower block, as soon as I pressed the doors closed button on the lift, the lift alarm went off!
:hmmmm
And then a disembodied voice came from the lift speaker advising me about PPI refunds still to be claimed!

Must have been some PPI company running an auto dialer, which managed to find the phone number for the lift's alarm system! At least it wasn't the lino phoning me via the lift to ask about extra lapsing, that'd mean Big Lino is Watching You! :chuckle

Great day, left two loops and over size packeys behind, and finished at correct time.
Roll on tomorrow.
