I had a phone call from the CMS about my maintenance problem.

I knew more what was going on than the man on the phone.

Amazing I am having April's maintenance in the next few days \o/

Now I can sort out our kid's Birthday presents for next month 🎈🎈🎈

Now onto the other job

Anyone want cake?

I go and clean in the factory..

They have some 80's tunes blasting away...

I hear,"What's this load of crap?" about a tune being played...
I said "It's not crap...!"
Then I carried on singing....
"Misfit, Misfit.....!"

(The song is at the end of this blog post)

I was brought up on 80's music!

Back at home.
