A Dickensian Wet Night in

So, its back to this then, the final weeks of 2018 and this week was Dickensian evening, which actually it was quiet for some of it, But the vlog is below:

The Day

Today I will admit it was wet and i woke up a bit earlier than usual and sure i’ve been chatting to S and also another girl from london and even another further north and also the girl that stood me up back in feburary messaged me about this girl that was looking for a Handsome man last night. So i did chat to that girl and well shes from the US so its a no go there. But I got up at 8:30 and then made my way up to get changed and everything fittted without much issues. Like really it did. But by 8:43, I was in the car with my parents and thye gave me a lift down, but the honest part was I didn't arrive until 8:55 due to the major traffic and the fact that a truck had burst tyres so it caused delays by the cops.

I then unloaded by the bedford and pulled my way down to work, torchy liked my style as I passed him and then i got in and unloaded and it was a major tidy up to get fixed and sorted. But so glad i bought BFV boxes down, since making them up to store things worked a nice treat. That was most of my morning and a few customers until about 2pm, which then it was time to delivery a PC that arrived to a customer and also post an item and also pickup a parcel from a supplier.

Then i got back and it turns out my mum had left me a sauageroll with my colleague which was for me to have which I thanked him and also joked about mum overprotecting me but she means well, so then after that he left to sort out school for his kids and said he was going to come back, but he didn't.  That and one girl I was talking to on snap has a messed up order from ubereats after i sent her a £15 uber gift code which she was happy about though unsure about it since shes never used them before, well i used it with christea and creams and they messed that order up for her so its not all uncommon/

The sausage Roll

So, I ate that then got the new stock booked in and games like PUBG, Hellblade, Tetris effect, Kingdom Hearts controllers and even Fortnite Xmas jumpers were in the mix too.

New stock in for work

but that was all priced up nicely then it was packing up time and some calls before it was nearing 5pm and time to get the PS4 out to start showing off customers and also get games sold since there was a £13 discount I put on, even on games out like Just Cause 4 and Smash Bros, like yes i can't really sell them that cheap but better gone and not coming back instead of stuck on a shelf. But the tidying did well and I was in full swing by 5:30.

The setup for the night

The Evening

Crowds and kids were popping in, Fortnite was the star of the show, some kids tried hello neighbour, on the account while I was chatting, I did play some but got caught easily, games were being sold and the printer was being slow, but it was hetic from 6 until 8 to be honest, it wasn't like sale after sale from that time. But games were going and I managed to sell 6 on that night, But later on I managed to try out Tetris Effect. Which is a decent game and I really got my head around it and could really focus if I wanted to. But i did get a couple of people to try it. 

Trying Tetris Effect Out

After that I played some Downwell and then tried Party hard which actually is quite fun and surprisingly slow paced compared to the hotline Miami style it wad going for (well maybe more mcpixel compared) But it was heading towards 9pm.

The packing and cold way home

So, it was more playing party hard until 9:20 or so and then it was 10 minutes of me to pack up and thought im taking some things back with me, Most of it i can take back next week or some I don't have to take at all but we will see. Me and torchy caught up and chatted before his higher up was shouting at someone else. But by 9:35, i was leaving.

The mess to sort out soon

I walked back through town to the square and most were packing up, the air was cold, the ground was waterlogged and I managed to get some nice pics of the lights for the way back and cover photo for social media. 

The trees, roadshow and clear sky

Then I ran my way back with the arms feeling cold and the wind and slight spitty rain, But i got home by 9:50 and then eventually getting food later on but a nice snack before catching up with parents, then checking the internet and having a nice chilli white chocolate naked noodle.

The naked noodle

And then that was it, another day gone and time to get this up and then the vlog up tomorrow before streaming, since I have a whole night off to myself which is productive and what I need. and the end of year review is coming along slowly,but will be done before 2019/

A festive finale of gifts

Well, its that time of year again , with the season in full swing, work busy with ordering and Amazon posting, heck 16 items a day, the wow of ordering online with even suppliers out of stock before sending an order to us. It was that final chance to make the effort, sure alot has saddened and changed this year but i hope that this time i can make the effort and it might even make it nice to finally even get the chance to win a girls heart.


But this time there is a fun twist to the usual, i was passing by a shelf in my local post office and i noticed something interesting, a Santa outfit, now this was going to be an idea of "i could dress up as santa and deliver the presents as well as buy them. The suit was £7 and also i was enticed since a sexy friend of mine was making christmas cards for her new store, i thought i would order those as well, its no harm in trying for a £5. I ordered from her shop and last friday the cards arrived. They do look splendid.

The envelopes and cards inside, along with business cards and a sweet lollipop

Then there was the santa outfit to buy, now i was really in luck since i bought the last one in stock for men on Friday after work, £6.99 but this might be worth it, i've not even tried it on until today, since i was keeping this really quiet, no snapchats leaked either..

The Santa outfit

This begins my journey which i had been thinking about for a few months. now i did already spend one present already on a dearest slim princess with a greedy appetite and a shyness but nearly man hating miss swain but that was a job almost shouting down "PAPA LEMA 19" down the phone to verify my virgin card since the member of staff was in a language barrier accent, but in all seriousness, she was helpful and was ok to deliver it across the street. You can't beat prezzo for that service :).

Uhhh @omracer is this from you!? 🎄🎅 pic.twitter.com/LBkcRXxYkE

There was even going to be a delivery from disney to my best friend but the postal blockage in the UK is a bit scary, i'm also partly to blame for that (amazon orders are nuts). I woke up in the morning, maybe not fresh but with a puppy howling and luckily i had chance to leave by myself, since i had to go today, just skipping it was NOT an option, since a visit i did weeks ago was to be sort of repeated but forgetfulness in passwords was the fun in that.


Now it was a early morning and by half 8, i was up, after a fap and then had a nice shower then after some rowdyness with the dog with getting the bike out, it was time to leave. With spirits held high i was off on a long bike ride for another day of shopping. By this point, the vlog had begun


Not much i can say apart from the outfit was getting muddy, i had at least 5 cars honk or beep at me as i was on my travels, Luckily it didn't rain on the way there, I got in at around 11:10 which is 2 hours earlier than usual, It was well worth it my feeling is. After having to prepp up and clean up in the toilets, (muck and i needed a P) i decided to wander the shopping centre of Plymouth and see what offers i could get before deciding to start on what presents to buy. Also popping into primark for jeans was meh, i did see miss Mitchell but she didn't take notice, then again it was different with me in a santa outfit.

Resting the bike just as i got to Town

Going up the stairs while checking for the items to buy for presents

Exploring the town offered many things, Poundland was hetic and some shops were different looking and no sign of a beautiful girl in Bank. But my first quest was my best friends present, Which was actually going to be a Disney Product but i've read the delivery was not going to happen. So i read that Build a bear offer it. I walked in and decided to go and purchase it, it was nice with the service in there, really nice staff and the value is reasonable. I mean they even let me choose a scent for Olaf.

Pushing the Pedal Down to fluff up olaf

Choosing a heart, sometimes i wish it was easy to do this in reality

Getting Olaf made cost me £21.50 in the end, since it was £19 for him and £2.50 to make him smell like strawberrys, But when me and the sales rep were chatting, she was interested in Glass but mostly asked about the Sanata outfit. Then i left the workshop and headed out to purchase my next item.

Now i had a piece of more time to kill with the Sweet shop temporary closing for an hour, i wandered down the lower part of Town, with the market traders in swing and some good deals on games from Naughty bear for a £10 to even a PSVita for £69.99. I didn't see Eloise which is a sigh.

Walking down to the market

Then it was a walk into more stores and found out there was a frogger 2 and a sequel to 40 Winks with older characters, that was £5 - £10 each. But as i progressed on to the Sony Store, with more than 40" TVs in the shop, (so basically there was not any tvs under 32"), i was smiling at the range. But then i walked on to the sweet shop, which was open and i explored, sadly there wasn't enough of what i wanted and i was even tempted to buy some BBQ sauce on top of the olaf. After walking around, it was time to find other presents instead. Now lucky i noticed something interesting. A thortons with special offers, oh and as i walked past, the sights a german food stall were good too.

The German food stall

 Now as i browsed and notices  3 for 2 offer, which in total 3 different chocolates totalled up to £20. Some of them suit the personalities of the girls. Jess with her sophistication of wanting to celebrate, Emily as a queen and Emma opened my heart. It was nice with friendly staff and customers.

The thortons i bought for Emma, Jess and Emily

Then it was time, but before i had to buy the main present, it was a quick gift to get for my sister, she wanted a car holder so i looked in halfords and i found them for £10, a good value one with a charger included. Buying that was a quick £10, i have £30 left for her in all honesty, but thats for later on.

The phone holder for my sister for £10. includes a micro usb cable and a charger. 

Then it was time to get the gift cards, which took a big of a mini quest, since 3 stores were out of them and queues were everywhere, both clinton cards were out, the card factory was also never selling them and then the big chain sold them, Tesco, with a Pizza hut and B&Q voucher, those came to £45, but before that, i was exploring and noticed another card shop with a funny meme that many of you might know me for.

People that like big butts cannot lie ;P

As i was walking to tesco

Getting the Gift cards from Tesco, Pizza Hut for Emily and B&Q for Dad/Father. 

The 1st time i went in tesco i did see orion who was busy on a call to someone, but the 2nd time it wasn't anyone i knew of. But the queue was about a 5 minute wait, which was not to bad at all. But after this, it was time for one last purchase, the gift bags. Now i went to my favourite store or more so the store Pete shown me and then i decided to purchase some decent bags. 4 bags for £4.50. Maybe not too bad, but one was a big one.

One Big bag for Charley

One bottle based bag for miss Jess

And two of the same bags for 2 special girls :)

Then after that, it was time for the writing of the cards and deliverance, Which was needed since it took a while to get it. But before i did that, i decided to purchase something i saw and looked amazing. A Playstation One Wallet, now that was a pretty good buy for £13. While in the queue, one of the staff asked me how glass was, i told him what i knew and he said i'm defiantly interested of getting it. Then as i purchased it, i let the customer next to me get loyalty points from me buying it. I think that was another good deed of ramdom kindness.

The Playstation Wallet

Then while changing wallets and writing cards out, i did have a undercover cop warn me that people were staring and looking to grab that money, i was rushing to get the presents and wallet sorted. But after about 30 minutes, it was sorted and i was ready to deliver, with notes of when i missed you and hoping to see them next year. I was a bit cheesy with the cards notes but its making the effort that counts.

The cards, giftbags and gifts to sort and make ready to deliver. 

Now i tried to deliver to emily, it wasn't that easy the first time, since she was busy but she looked amazing. I browsed at some tablets and phones, a chap was asking if i needed anything, i tested an xperia and the launcher had a PS4 feel to it for sure, Then i walked out to deliver to charley, now with that amazing girl i popped her new friend over to her work, with 2 staff in the entrance and one said "oh its santa", i played along and said "santa has something for a girl that works here, charley". He took it from me and said he would give it to her, which worked a treat, i thanked both and said merry christmas, I made my leave and wondered over to deliver Emily again, luckily she was free and when i gave it to her and said Merry Christmas she was a bit taken back, since that is the first time we have spoke to each other ever, she said "ohh thank you", then she instantly gave it to her colleauge, then she and her opened the bag up. Well, hopefully something might work in the future but at least i heard her voice which was nice. By around this time, i was also in a selfie with a selfie stick with a guy just outside a store next to emily's. 

Then it ended up me walking around some more and finally at around 3:30 i started to make my leave, but as i unlocked my bike, i had 2 girls come up to me and offer me a oassis drink, which tasted nice, and then it was the GPS to lock on 

Just before i left

The free oasis i got for just being santa

The ride to Mcdonalds was not too bad a one, sure it was busier with cars.

Nearing Mutley and the weather forecast

MMMMMMMM

 but i made it and then parked the bike just outside, then it was some kids staring with glee then i walked in and a pretty tall nice girl served me and i said "could you give these to Jess for me", it was fun having to describe her just to make sure its the right one, heck that mistake is a pain if i get it wrong, but she did then a guy next to her took it and was going to hand it to her. Then i walked out and got on the bike and headed out to the next place. This was ok until something bad happened. 

Whizzing on a bus lane, by fast blurred shots

As i was nearing the George, the pedals were getting stiff and then it turns out the chain was caught up with the decomposing in stitches santa trousers, that was at least 20 minutes to fix, with the help of a passer by guiding me, she said she liked the santa outfit too and then i was meant to be at a house by 4:30 but i finished up getting there at 4:33. He didn't mind, but what was meant to be a simple job is never simple. 

So i got in, we got the PC turned on, i got it booted from the USB and BAM, a kernel panic which no many how many bios settings i changed, i had no luck, and with the only admin account on the PC the one with the lost password, its never a simple fix, so after about 40 minutes of trying, i had to give up, then i left and it turns out it had been raining, which was even worse. 

Then the cycle ride was a intense race in the dark, cars blitzing past me, no light source without a risk of falling off, Horses blocking the path between Yelverton and Horrabridge, i chanted and shouted out loud "DON'T MESS ABOUT, FOCUS" which was hard but the solar powerbank was a ok but meh torch, ok for walking maybe but not for wide area light. 

Eventually i got home about 6:50, which was a bit of a drawback but also ideal since tea was just around the corner, it was amazing irony, the family laughed when they realised i had been dressed as Santa, Rosie jumped up and all, but then it was change and a nice fried tea

For tonight, Fish Fingers, Waffles, Poached Eggs, Lettuce, crisps, mayo and mango chutney

And there we have it, the final trip into Plymouth this year and hopefully something that might finally get me somewhere and maybe even fall in love again or have my hearts dreams make or break, but now its time to reflect and review a year, but that won't be for a week or so since christmas events are yet to come.

A Calm Eve before Christmas

Well MERRY CHRISTMAS AND ALL THAT. Christmas has only just begun for some of us, but the day before, can still be a memorable day for many of us. Mine was a quiet day for the most part, although the weather had improved from another #UKStorm from the day before (Monday 23rd), there were still traces of flooding, gushing rivers and related things left behind. But for the most part, the weather was amazing. If you really want to see how the river was, enjoy a picture i had taken on the monday night:

The River Tavy on my way home from work on Monday Evening. it was quite strong, to say the least

Now i got up, although i was up to 2am on that night before, so i was really drowsy and tired, nevertheless, i enjoyed a stress relieving quick fap over a former bbw I've mentioned at one point. Then it was a case of getting changed and running to work as the normal. Also it has been the case that i've been cutting my jeans to make them shorter. Which in the weather, has become really useful. 

Work was reasonably quiet, i was supposed to finish at 1pm but thanks to DPD deciding to deliver late (between 16:04 and 17:04, from the e-mail itself), i ended up covering the shop from 1pm to pretty much 4:30, which actually gave me some time to start typing up a review of this year, so i have less work to do when it comes to that. Although i have a video planned, i don't know if i can get the time to do it. That and it was annoying trying to attempt a GetDataBack and i just checked the desktop remotely using Chrome Remote desktop and its at 4% for "Extracting Found MFTs", that is a slow Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black drive used in a Dell Inspiron 560. But it was nice to wear the Dobble Hat although it wasn't that i couldn't be bother to have lunch, but with the amazing food soon to come on the next day, i think its worth readying yourself for, although i've done it alot these past few weeks. 

Me wearing the Dobble Hat, ok my boss did make and wear this for Dickensian Evening

But it was nearing 4:30 and that was 15 minutes after the DPD driver turned up, hes kind of a regular now, since we get deliveries via DPD almost weekly. But then it was a case of closing up and then running back home. But i did get one last capture of the Christmas Trees in the square, since well, its supposed to be a part of the festive season. 

The Square as i was leaving work on Christmas Eve. it 

Luckily for me. the GPS on my phone was working fairly decent for me tonight, it locked reasonably quickly, so a quick go using MyTracks couldn't hurt:

View Larger Map

That was quite a nice one, although running in tight jeans and girly looking boots aint too bad. But i got home and it was then a catch up moment with the parents, see the kitten, the dog growling and all the usual things that happen when i get home, as well as checking e-mails. As i got in the lounge, the grinch was on, so knowing me, it reminded me of abbey for a good half hour, she loved that character, Emma does but very casually and not as ott. But there been nostalgia this month for me anyway, with seeing people in the past.

Later on, Finding Nemo was on and by the time we had dinner, it was nearing the end by getting to the scene when Marlin gets to Sydney. But it was a nice homemade Chicken Balti along with some extras like crackers, Mayo, Lettuce, Crisps.

The meal i had on the Christmas Eve Night. Chicken Balti, Lettuce, Tomato, Rice, Crackers, sweet sliverskins, crisps and mayo. 

Then it was an evening of playing games, enjoying a bath and uploading snapchats to a facebook page which i've done almost 2500 of them now. But that does include stories, which you will be surprised how many people actually update them. After that, it was prettty much wrapping up the presents i bought my family. Which if you didn't see, you can see HERE. But in the end, i decided to just put them in the christmas cards, luckily they did fit, it was annoying since Zak was growling at me with almost every little move i did, so doing it quietly was not easy at 12am. But hey, its better than not wrapping them.

Well the cards, prepped up for tomorrow. To my parents and my sister. 

The Day of Christmas.....Coming Soon.
