It was also back to work after my Christmas leave, but with the schools and colleges being closed, the bus journeys this week have been short! Although Monday and Tuesday it was a Saturday service which meant an extra couple of miles on an already lengthy run.
The weather has been bad this week. I am not a fan of Coventry, but frankly, having seen the conditions that elsewhere has suffered, I am quite pleased that I am in the centre of the country. The worst we really have seen are a few slightly flooded roads, a few battered fences and some downed wheelie bins.
Friday night I felt like a bit of a gamble. I have an online account with William Hill and have done for some years. I am useless with the horses and football too, but I do like the slot machines (or one armed bandits as we used to call them). I managed to turn my original £50 stake into over £2000! You could have knocked me down with a feather.
Unfortunately, never being one to be able to stop whilst I am ahead, I carried on playing and ended up withdrawing 'just' £1200, still, it all adds to the car fund.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I will be the grand old age of 43, I have no idea what presents, if any, I am going to get.
I still have over a month before I receive my ACCA exam results, it seems so long since I sat them.
