    generally fed up

    Sounds like a typical split-**** winge, but feel fed up. Working in a crap place( money is ok- thats the catch) but full of red tape and muppets. Got a house that needs loads doing,, my own fault as I like nice art deco stuff. The only time I get to feel like im "me" is the drive to and from work. Sorry for being a tart, but it feels like any free time costs, in one way or another.

        Yes, projects being house or car get in the way of life. Just enjoy the journey.

        When you feel you have completed the project you will have already started another one, enjoy that journey.

        The alternative is to follow the masses buy a brand new match box Barrat home and a KIA or similar to go with it.

        Keep the faith

          I'm not alone!! I share your woes TT and what makes it worse is i've entered into a deal with the Mrs that I can't do any work on my car until i've finished the kitchen and living room…! At least she agreed to let me keep the car I suppose! I'm a builder so it's not such a big deal but the Busman's holiday feeling i'm getting during every spare moment is wearing thin now… One thing at a time!

                Instructions for (temporary) happiness

                [1] Find a nice bit of quiet road
                [2] Chip it down to 3rd
                [3] Open window
                [4] Floor it!!!
                [5] Repeat as required

                This is why you own a five cylinder car

                      Yep, that sound of the turbo spooling up defo helps, think need to chill out a bit, lots and lots of things going on work, home, family, hobby, and juggling all the eggs, one gets dropped now and again.

                      Oh well,

                        All sounds perfectly normal to me. I hardly even get to wash my S2 now (which as everyone that knows me will testify, is BAD, it used to get a bath once a week)
                        I have to accept that work, family life, kids, housework, diy etc will come first. BUT the early Friday drive to work in sunshine or the 140mph dash back from the squash club late at night, still make owning my S2 a real pleasure... :mischeif:



                        Cheers,
