Welcome to my online diary, enjoy your stay!
In November 2005 whilst home recovering from an operation I decided to try and design a web page for White Springs Fisheries in Pontarddulais I added an info page on the fishery website page, but as I got more and more involved in community projects, I decided to start this blog in order to keep my community activities and involvement seperate to the fishing. You can email me with comments at slloydjanes@aol.com

About three months ago, i had bought and paid for something on my credit card over the internet, the person gave me the cash which was £150 and i had put it into my pocket to spend
About a week or ten days later, i thought i should have had about £50 of this money left and i was puzzling where had i spent this £50, I was saying to my girlfriend I couldn't work out where or what I had spent it on. I was stressing and puzzling for day's where had i spent this money.
That was about two or three months ago.
Well today after about three hours kip from nightshift, I decided to start some house work,
in my spare front room I have a three seeter sofa and I had a huge pile of ironing that I had ironed last week and had not taken upstairs to put away.
So i decided to take it up to put away, putting the stuff in my wardrobe,
I grabbed a fleece that i wanted to throw in the wash from the bottom of the wardrobe, I had worn it taken it off and threw it in the cupboard and it had my missing money in the pocket
and it wasn't £50 it was a tenner more
I knew i hadn't spent it and this little windfall will come in handy, As i've got 4 more shifts
to do and i've got a weeks holiday off work
Well what can i say Chris, after chatting to you, I checked the entry and I couldn't see the error.
So i came to the conclusion either you were winding me up
or you need your eyes tested, if it's the later, i'll get you a pair for xmas, talking of which.
Jason asked me in front of Mike Martoni, who was walking behind us earwigging, What did i think of the xmas arrangements? he was going on
boasting himself up saying how good a manager he was and that we were lucky to have him because other night team managers have choosen option 2, but because of his kind nature we have option 1
Mike was laughing and interested in the options, so he found me a four sided cage, and brought it down my aisle
,
when i hadn't even asked
, normally i have to beg or steal, it was an excuse to catch up on the gossip?
"Whats the difference between option 1 and 2 ", was the first ??? and then before i could answer it was, "do you believe he's a good kind manager" was the second ??? On my reply he laughed 
Basically option 1 is the night crew take xmas eve night off and come back into work boxing night, or we could have been doing option 2, Which Jason, reckoned some night teams had choosen freely, which is work xmas eve night, and have boxing night off?
Jason also said, he would be looking at the rotas this week, to work out what pro rata he needs to give people and to look at peoples floating shopping day, he also said ten members of staff had already requested this time that he owes them for that week and he's granted them the time,
So if you are owed time, you need to speak to Jason to book the time off.
I must say, he told me this on Monday and on Friday i asked him for my time off and he said Yes on the spot, so he's not that bad, but i did ask for the time in January so that i could go to a family wedding, I think if i had asked for the time in xmas week he might not have granted it so easily.
Well Chris I see you later in the week, if you spot an error use the comment button on the bottom of this thread, don't work to hard
And i can't wait for the wedding in January got a weekend off
