Monday 12th May
Woke up to my alarm, which is my mobile phone, Nokia 6230i. Got out of bed and put on my dressing gown, which is a long one down to my ankles that i bought in Hawick market about four years ago. It’s a size 18-20 but it wraps round with a one inch wide belt. It’s a Lady Selena make and has a tartan pattern in pinks and light blues, it is 35% cotton and 65% polyester, it also has two pockets in it, one each side.

i came into my office, which is the room next to my bedroom, and checked my emails on my PC which i built myself, it is a silver case with a clear side so that you can see the inside with a fan in the centre that lights up blue, green and red, and has an ASUS M2A-VM HDMI motherboard, and an AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual-Core processor 4000+, at 2.10 GHz, and 2gig of DDR2 RAM.

After checking my emails i went into the bathroom, sat on the toilet and had a wee, then got washed using a pink and white marbled pattern sponge and Dove Fresh Touch body wash. Wet my hair and combed it then brushed my teeth using Pearl Drops Spearmint tooth polish and a purple and white Aquafresh toothbrush.
i then went back into my bedroom and put on my Dove Fresh Touch anti-perspirant deodorant, then got dressed. As i was in the shop today i am wearing a plain white bra, made by Florence and Fred from Tescos, that i bought about 2 months ago, it is 100% cotton and is size 38D with a ¾ cup, it does up with 2 hooks and has about ½ inch shoulder straps, 1 each side. and only gives me a little bit of cleavage, black Belcie jeans, with silver stitching and gems on the 4 pockets, 2 back and 2 front. I bought them from Bovingdon market last summer, they are size 16 and a bit big for me but i wear them anyway for the shop, i have the bottoms turned up outwards as they are too long for me as i’m only 5ft 2 ½ inches in height, white Jerzees polo shirt which is a large that the shop supplied and they only buy 1 size. It has the shop name over the left tit in black and is 35% cotton and 65% polyester. i also wore black Nike trainers that i bought from Sport Soccer in town about 6 years ago but only started wearing them last year.

i went downstairs to the kitchen and made tea using Tetley tea bags, i have 2 sugars and only a tiny drop of milk because i have never liked milk since i was born. Made 1 for my son, he also has 2 sugars but more milk than me. i took his tea up to him to wake him up as he gives me a lift to the shop.

i don’t have breakfast so i just made a sandwich to take with me i used 2 slices of Warburtons white bread and spread it with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, then put some pork pate on it and cut it into 2. Put it in a sandwich bag , and placed it in my bag with a packet of Quavers.

i left the house at 8.30 and got into my sons blue 1.0 Ford Fiesta and we drove to the other side of Luton to where the shop is situated. we arrived there at 8.55, before unlocking the shop i went into the newsagents which is 2 doors away from my shop, to buy a small bottle of coke to have during the day. i then went to my shop and unlocked the door, switched off the alarm and entered. i went straight over to the PC that we use most to see if i had been left any notepad messages, this is how we leave notes about pending jobs for each other. There was nothing on there for me so i just looked around to see what was on the work benches. i then turned the lghts on in the front and back of the shop so people can see that we are open. i then logged onto the shop system to get our web page up as this is where we book in all our jobs. As i didn’t have any messages i text Craig to see if there was anything he had forgotten to tell me about, which he does sometimes. The only thing he had forgot to tell me was about a Dell laptop and what needed doing to it to finish it off. That was find a couple of drivers on the internet, put anti virus software on it and do any updates that was needed.

At 9.29 i logged on to msn, as this is how i get hold of my boss or he gets hold of me depending where he is.

9.45 my eldest son, David and his wife Tina, turned up to pick up an XP disc that i had in my bag for him to borrow because he was going to install it onto his computer, as he is having problems with the Vista he has on his system at present. They stayed for a cup of tea, both have 2 sugars and a normal amount of milk, and David chatted while i was getting the drivers i needed for the laptop. They left at 10.32.

i got what i needed and installed them on the laptop then went onto our server for the anti virus software which is a free one called AVG, if customers are paying for anti virus software we use Kaspersky, installed that then went online with the laptop to get all the updates, which usually takes a while because of the amount of them.

i took in a job at about 11.45, it was a PC which needed to go on our anti virus machine to be checked out and if necessary cleaned. Couldn’t put it on our machine though because there was one there having all the data removed and as i hadn’t put it on was not going to remove it until i got hold of Craig again to see how far he’d got with it.

At 12.17 i stopped to eat my sandwich and opened my bottle of coke to have a sip. Then back to work, checking the laptop for all it’s restarts.

my boss, Rob came into the shop at 12.35 with 9 brand new computers cases, not our usual stock, he could only get 9 as that was all he could fit in his car. He then asked me to build 3 new machines for one of out customers, with ASUS M2A-VM motherboards and AMD 4800+ CPUs with 1 gig DDR2 RAM, 80 gig SATA hard drives and DVD RWs. we had everything in stock so i started on them. I only managed to get 1 done, because i’m on my own in the shop on a Monday and have to see to customers answer the phone and do any work that comes in.

At 2.24 i opened my packet of Quavers and ate them.

i then went to the toilet for a wee, and luckily i was carrying a spare pair of panties in my bag and a sanitary towel, because i had started my period. So i took off my jeans and put on my panties placed the sanitary towel on them and put my jeans back on, my panties are an old pair that i just use for this time of month and the are plain white cotton ones.

i had a customer in roughly every 55 minutes today and was answering the phone every 10 – 15 minutes, these were calls for Rob, where i take messages and get them to him, or calls for advice on PCs or just customers checking on their PCs, and even calls from companies trying to sell us stuff.

At 5.15 i wrote a notepad message, to let Craig and Toby know what i have left them for tomorrow, my son turned up at 5.23, i signed off of msn at 5.26 and we left the shop at 5.30, after i had turned the lights off and set the alarm, then locked it up again.

Got into my sons car and we drove home, traffic is a nightmare at that time of day and i also had to stop of at Tescos on the way to buy more sanitary towels, so didn’t get home until 6.45,

So this post is late, because Master has changed his mind about the time He wants it posted, He changed it from 10.00 to 7.00, and as i have had to add a lot more to it, it has taken me a lot longer to write.
