Friday- went and told my sister that we would be not going away with them this weekend as need to save the holiday from work
Saturday- Spent the day cooking while drew clean the breaks and swaped the tyres on the car (front to back)
Sunday- drove up to Bolton for a dodgy MOT that turned out not to need a dodgy one and pass anyway
Monday- drove home and sold drew's bike..... but think I have converted him to my prefered car as the next one!

Happy days

Sad abou the bike.....but 18 months will fly by in wedded bliss!

Mine didn't go to plan - faulty hyraulic line on the rear brake of my mountain bike blew off and the resulting accident broke 2 ribs. Rubbish!!

I do a bit of co-driving in a landrover trophy - heres our website http://www.twinaxle.com/vehicles.html - if you look at vehicles I co-drive with stodd, it used to be a disco but 30k later is has front/middle/rear winch (2 ARB 8274's), 1 off door conversion, bob-tailed/nosed and locking diffs etc etc etc

Oh bad luck on the accident, ooh horrible, broken ribs not good.

Oh thank god Mr VT didnt see the stats on your vehicle....arrrgh he's got a front and rear winch and lots of extras but he was going on about a middle winch, saw one for a few thousand pounds at the Billing show not so long ago...I wish I was that rich, I would buy him one in a heartbeat!

I'm getting him some Landy bits for our forthcoming anniversary, which he appreciates more than stuffed toys and things like that.... I know its not very romantic, but I did buy him a live bunny rabbit for Valentines day once!

I started my long weekend with an extra day off on Friday. Mrs Guevara and I had hoped to do a bit of camping, but had been unable to book anything. Regardless, we decided to head Eastward for the coast and see if we could find anything, or just call it a day trip.

So Friday AM we packed up the truck with all our gear and headed out. We got lucky and found a decent campsite about 2 miles out of Skegness, which was ideal as the wife loves the 2p machines. We got set up and then headed into town to gamble away our small change jar.

We'd packed bicycles, so Sat we cycled out to a salt-marsh nature reserve called Gibraltar Point, a few miles S of Skeggy. Spent a bit of time wandering around there before cycling back and heading over to the Bateman's Brewery to have a look around.

Made our way home on Sunday (campsite was starting to get pretty busy), unpacked and sorted some stuff out around the house.

Monday was ultimately lazy -spent most of the day just lounging in bed with Mrs G, napping and watching TV. My feet didn't even hit the carpet until the late afternoon. It was bliss...

A few piccies:

Nice little break in the clouds:

Some really nice pics in the thread and looks like apart from a couple of mishaps a good weekend was had by most. Apart from a very minor hangover *cough* mine was excellent

I had a Fricking awesome weekend too.

The mrs bought a helmet, jacket and gloves and we went to the seaside and ate fishes and chips on the beach at Hayling Island on Saturday. Was a bit windy but so cool. Also got more comfy with how the bike handles two-up, never got used to it before now.

Then went to Get Loaded in the Park at Clapham Common on Sunday with a mate, had a great time dancing my socks off to Pendulum/Royksopp/Orbital live! Was quite odd being totally wasted in the middle of the day. Got home at about 9pm and it felt like 4am!

All in all, amazing weekend.
