Can somebody tell me how good a respite session of 1430-1730 is good for an almost mother of three?
Today my plan is:
0700 Nothing
0730 Nothing
0800 Nothing
0830 Nothing
Then NOTHING until
1300 Put my clothes on
1330 Nothing
1400 Nothing
1430 Respite arrives in a dirty minibus
1510 Arrive Times Square Car Park
1520 Arrive Newcastle Central Station
1645 Leave Newcastle Central Station
1655 Arrive Times Square Car Park
1730 Arrive Home
1800 Nothing
1830 Nothing
Could have more fun if I was watching paint dry, to be honest.
If there is one thing that annoys me about Flickr it is these people will follow everybody purely so more people will follow them and view their photos.
Had one of these last night, one followed me and I looked at their photostream and as ever it was just black and white photos of things and all the photos had 99+ favourites and lots of comments. This took my number of followers up to 120 but I have noticed it has gone back down to 119 again now as they have un-followed me.
Get sick of these all the time and it makes me wonder how many of the 119 followers are actually following me for my photos and not just to boost their views, swear to God I am sick of seeing black and white photos of clowns.

Forgot to mention this the other day...
I was annoyed at someone calling me a sad b*****d, because I am looking forward to voting in the general election...
I was asked what is so good about it...Well, the fact I have the freedom to say who I think should be representing me, the fact I have a chance to vote is exciting enough for me
I got told 'Do you think your one solitary vote will be the decider in who wins'...Probably not, but you never know
These are people who would not know a ballot paper if it jumped up and kicked them in the nuts, the kinda people who would say 'I won't vote for them, I will cross them out'
The kind of people who dont vote but are the first to complain when the country is being flushed down the swanny, we have this wonderful called free speech in this country, but I believe if you dont vote in elections, then don't bitch and moan if things go tits up. I have voted in every election and referendum I have been eligible to vote in, only elections I did not vote in was 2001 as I moved back home around the election.
If that makes me a sad b*****d, then I am sad B #1, because I cannot wait for May 7th
Rant Over lol

Most of the cheap Carlisle - London and Newcastle - London advance fares have gone now
EDIT - sorry, no they haven't, they're now at stupid times of the day. Southbound you have to leave 0930 at the earliest, getting to London for 1300!! Coming back you have to leave London on the 2200 back north, no ta!

(19 Apr 2015, 9:16 am)northern156 Not the TOCs fault, I like VTEC. I'm guessing it's lots of people going for these super cheap fares, humbug!

With a 16-25 railcard I was looking at a huge amount of £9.95 fares each way. As long as you left Newcastle before 0730 (or after 0930) you'd get one, plus coming back, any time until 1530 and then after 1900 ish. Now they've been replaced with more expensive fares, I do hope they've not completely got rid of the £20 returns at decent times of day!!
Hopefully when I get a decent, well-paid job (got an interview for one on 1st May) I'm going to spend 2 nights in London - although the early planning I've done doesn't seem to go well on a light budget!
