Sleep over

 We had a friend's daughter over on Saturday night as they were out for a meal.  It was pretty smooth running.  They all played together well and I think they had a good time.

Played rugby on Saturday

 I played rugby on Saturday for Leigh again and it was good fun.  My friend from TJs played to so it was good to get game time with him.  We ended up winning 64-7, I scored (credited with 2) and ended up getting man of the match.  Not sure it was deserved but I had to down a pint of fosters on a chair for the privilege.  Urgh.  

Still pretty sore now 2 days later, but should be good for Sunday afternoon when I have a vets game against Cranbrook.

StuCorp Ltd is no more

 This week i've signed off the final accounts and put StuCorp Ltd. to the great company heaven in the sky.  The insurance contracting market has completely died over the last 3 years or so due to the enforcement of IR35 rules.  Outside IR35 roles disappeared from the market so I could no longer invoice a company for my time.  I've had to hire an umbrella company to do my payroll where I effectively have to pay employers and employees national insurance before I get paid on a normal paye basis.  My company was basically stagnant for 3 years paying £100 a month accountancy fees for doing fuck all so with a couple of hundred quid left in my company account I finally signed the relevant paperwork and it his now formally closed.  RIP StuCorp Ltd.

I did get one souvenir

 I did get one souvenir from my time play testing.  I accidentally kept the pen I was given to take notes.

Games testing

 I was in town on Friday to play test the latest edition of my favourite computer game.  It was an interesting experience and glad I did it but not sure if i'd do it again.

Chicken and sweetcord chowder

Exactly what you need in this weather.

 

Cold out there

 Some pictures from Tonbridge in the freezing cold snap we've had recently.

Rugby

 My game was cancelled with late notice on Saturday but we managed to get to an all weather pitch for the kids on Sunday.  8:45 start and -5C though.  Brrrr....

Good spot

 I walked passed a charity shop the other day and spotted these bad boys.  I though Flo would love them so we went back out and bought them.  They're a little big but she will grow into them.
