Power all sorted and back on the road again

I got up around 09:30 this morning to find that an electrician had already arrived. Turned out he wasn't even supposed to be working but answered mum's call when he was at the paper shop and came round anyway. I won't bore you with details but after three hours of work he pretty much had everything sorted out. He even managed to fix another problem that we didn't know about while he was at it. As he had to shoot off he has promised to come back and make good a couple of bits and to make sure everything is still working fine. Now that is what I call excellent service! Such a relief as I really didn't want to have to leave mum with no power.

Once everything was sorted we had a brunch before finishing off our packing. Leaving was delayed slightly as I had to do some laptop troubleshooting and get mum's McAfee up and running properly. It was a pain in the arse but thankfully McAfee have a pretty good tool called McAfee Virtual Technician that seemed to do the trick after a couple of runs. Fingers crossed that's all sorted otherwise McAfee will be getting the boot in favour of Kaspersky!

We've had a brilliant time at mum's and Christmas was fantastic and it's always sad when it is time to leave but unfortunately we had to. We said our goodbyes and then hit the road back to Sidcup. We had an uneventful journey and made good time. It wasn't long before Leanne brought Pam back home again and we were all reunited once more.

Cooking was suspended in favour of ordering in an Indian which was a fantastic plan. We then caught up on last night's New York Rangers v Tampa Bay Lightning game (having missed it due to there being no power). After some pretty shaky games of late I was delighted that they came out as 4 - 3 winners in regular time. Really really hoping that they can now keep this winning mentality and start performing a lot better. Mebbe, I'll let you know tomorrow night!

Finished off the day watching the Russell Brand Messiah Complex DVD. Thoroughly enjoyed this show. Good mixture of normal stand up crossed with his branching out into getting people to open their eyes.
