Never Said This Before But I'll Say It Now

Chris Evans | 11:51 UK time, Wednesday, 14 April 2010

Routine.

Wake up - turn off all three alarm clocks, run shower, brush teeth in shower, dress - tracky and hoodie and trainers. Phone and wallet, kiss wife, pat dog, exit house, let out chickens, get in car with Marky Mark.

Go through e mails from Hells - Exec Prod; write opening of show and send through to Hells. Listen to 6 o'clock news, power nap - if time, usually not.

Arrive - hug girls, pat boys on the head, beg for tea. Papers - separate headlines into 3 categories:- General Interest, Political, Sport.

Sift and sort listener emails. Loo.

Studio - rehearse top of show - do show. Say goodbye to everyone, haircut, gym, back to car to leave for Sporting Challenge (today gymnastics !) write blog, post blog. . .

Current time 11.37a.m.

I feel like Jack Bauer but not as handsome or daring.

Have a nice day you crazy cats.

    Hello Everybody Peeps,

    Aww poor GB that Rips nipped in before you!

    It's definitely a routine Chris, just not like most of us have to deal with ;)

    Best of luck with the gymnastics today. I hope you've got your kit, don't want to see you in the video having to do it in vest and pants!

    Hi Chris: I've said it before, and I'll say it again - I am always amazed that you take time each day to post your Blog! Look at your schedule - exhausting!

    Errr, brush your teeth in the shower????!!!

    Hi Rips: where have you been?! And the same to you Gaily!

    Ah well it wasn't to be. Better luck next time.

    Aw Rips, you beat me to it! :(

    Hi CLP, Just getting back into routine after hols.

    Get up at 6.00am, empty dishwasher, empty and reload washing machine, make packed lunches and breakfast, shower, dress, dry hair, serve / eat breakfast, hang out washing, gently encourage two gorgeous boys to ready themselves for the day and out the door, hop in car, drop younger gorgeous boy at school (childminder in hols), get to work, sit in front of computer bored out of my skull for 5 hours, drive to school (childminder's) to collect ygb, return home, deal with any mail, do some domestic engineering, assist ygb with homework, make tea, ring eldery but gorgeous Mum, more domestic engineering, ready ygb for bed, listen to ygb read, (most evenings) hot date with ironing board, flop in front of tv (or go for a run, energy levels permitting)! Blimmin' 'eck, I'm exhausted just typing about it.

    That's my day, CLP, not nearly as interesting / glamorous as yours but the important thing is I'm happy (not at work - but homelife makes up for that).

    I hope you gorgeous bloggers are all well. I haven't had time to catch up with goings on since Easter weekend but hope everyone is hale and hearty.

    Hi Chris, and Hi to Everyone else,

    My, you have been a busy boy today, Chris. Good luck with the challenge. Hope it's proper gymnastics and not dancing with ribbons and hoops!! Although that would be quite funny to watch!

    Mr Mcw was also up very early this morning and let out our very dozy hens. They seem to be getting to bed later and later with these lighter evenings!

    Hi Chrissie, been to visit my Mum - no internet connection at her place so I was incommunicado last week and this week has been spent catching up with jobs. I hope you're well.

    I know Andy, he's a monkey isn't he? I hope you and yours are all well.

    Gailyb

  • Comment number 8.

    Busy man, on the go all day, but make time for family. Hope gymnastics went ok for you both.

  • Comment number 9.

    Chris,

    That's a busy day! Whatever did you do when you were "resting" for 5 years or so - you must have been bored out of your mind!! 2 1/2 days to go in current job, then I will have another routine, though no idea what it will be yet...I get bored easily, so a couple of weeks without a job will feel like a holiday but any more than that and it will start to impact...
    Andy - Thanks for the tax offer but I forwarded it to a colleague to deal with as a)she will be here after I have finished b)she gets paid more than me and c) I can't be ***ed!!

    Happy Humpday.

    Hi Gailyb - Sorry about that! I couldn't believe that when I finall y got a chance to get on the blog there were no comments.
    My spelling gives away my desperation to be in first though - cool as kettle me!

    Hi Chrissie - How are you lovely? Thankfully, business has started to pick up again so I'm as busy as a one armed paper hanger. I tend to catch up with the days ramblings when I get to bed, via the phone but can never think of anything interesting to say.

    It may come as a surprise to most that I actually consider what I write on here! 8^)

    Hi to everyone else - hope all is well with everyone.

    Howdie Doodie!

    My routine's a bit up the swanny at the mo but hope to be back in one sooner rather than later.

    Talking of which ..... phone call this morn from agency, interview this arvo with large organisation you all will have dealings with at some point. Another phone call from another agency, possible 10 week temp job. Another interview from yet another agency, interview next Tuesday (the dream job one .....) so it seems my obsessive emailing and phoning round yesterday has done some good!

    Sat Nav programmed and ready to go.

    And yes Chrissie - I thought the same about teeth brushing in the shower! And I also read "hug girls" as "huge girls" - having seem the team at the 02 this is clearly not the case - gawjus and skinny, the lot of 'em!

    Good luck with the challenge CLP, and mind you "man bits" on the pommel horse!

    A jolly good morning to Christopher and Ladies and Gentlemen of the Blog.
    Or is it now afternoon!

    You are one cool, energetic, organised dude in the morning Chris. I am the type of person who needs at least two cups of tea before moving.

    Looking forward to The One Show on Friday, you were excellent last time.

    Bye for now, off to listen to Moira's golden oldie again!

    Afternoon

    CLP, you busy boy. I listened to loads of your show yesterday . I was on my way to work at 7.45 am and the swing bridge accross the Manchester Ship Canal swung to let a ship go through. Then the bridge eventually swung back at TEN am. A slight technical hitch, so my three mile, 15 minute commute ,turned into a mega road bun fight as everyone was trying to find alternative routes. Sooo, i got to hear so much more and it was great.It really cheered me up.

    Chrissie, hope your injection has improved your shoulder for you.

    MwK, hope you are feeling better too & JG too.

    Miss P , many happy returns of the day.

    Baggy, good luck with the p35's etc, am in the middle of all that "fun" right now.

    Nic and Deevs, hope its good news soon.

    Right, got to dash, need more time and hands , grrrrrrr. Where is the year going to ?????

    Hells Bells: That was one 'eck of a show you pulled off there Ev, are you ok?
    Big Chief CLP: I don’t have time for that now, the threat is still out there from commercial radio stations, we cant let them get the message to the listeners, it could undermine society as we now it, whats your current status?
    Hells Bells: I’m standing about two feet away from you
    Big Chief CLP: Don’t start me . . .

    Big Chief CLP: Hells Bells, theres something not right here, I’m not comfortable about this situation – do you have an update from HQ?

    Afternoon all

    Christoff, being busy keeps you out of trouble. Oh, and teeth cleaning in the shower is sooo wrong! Hope you enjoy the sporting challenge today.

    Deevs, I know you have left for your interview, hope it goes well for you x

    MK, shame it wasn’t your golden oldie, great tune. Being one myself I love the oldies!

    Bingo, hahaha, the wedding link is hilarious; reet made me laugh after feeling a bit fed up. Off to watch again.

    hey Chris, just passing, wow what a daily routine you have.

    Just signed up to run the 10k for cancer research again this autumn which got me all gooey eyed about the magnificent support I received when I ran it last year from you bloggers.
    Not gonna ask for money but....

    .....anyone fancy donning their trainers this year?

  • Comment number 30.

    Wow Chris that is some routine. I am also a creature of routine or is that habit?!? But I won't bore you with what I do in the morning, except to say that it does involve me lying in bed for half an hour listening to your show and as you so often said, that first half hour does go really quickly. In fact if I've got up before 7, I go back to bed again to listen! The joys of working locally.

    Deev, All the best Chuck for your interviews and everything especially crossed for the Monday one.

    Hello to everyone else.

    Still no sun in Kent :(

    Bingo - seen that wedding link before - would love to do that
    and Baggy - did you really walk down the aisle to Matts canon rock - wow! I put the "normal" version on when I'm stuck in traffic - helps calm my - I need to be there now - nerves.

    You been on the black stuff Dan?

    I agree with all others too Christoph - cleaning teeth in the shower - just no!!

    Watched the weather forecast for the week-end just in case I had dreamt the cold weather and unfortunately I hadn't - lovely and sunny on Saturday but freezing cold again Sunday - Oh Joy !!

    Loving the idea of a Leeds meet Pip and hope I can make this one - 26th June?

    Hi Susan

    That's rotten about your interview - can't you phone them at all to chase?

    My day of chasing yesterday seems to have paid off with an interview today and two next week - I guess now it's just up to me. So, how do I give the other candidates jippy tums / broken cars be Mon/Tues .....!?!?!

    I hate late afternoons. It's such a long day when Nic's at work and by this time I start to feel a bit hacked off with being on my own all day. I know it won't be for long, but hey ho.

    I know how you feel about it being long day, I found when Mr JG was working until 9pm on last Friday and Saturday that I kind of lost my weekend as well! Having said that, I was feeling up to much to go and do anything, but the time seems to drag.

    Evening all,

    Well, another sunny day here and a lovely evening .

    Am dining out with a friend tonight, but I am not picking her up until 7.45pm. I am starving NOW, and have had two cream eggs already.
    Right, must do something that does not involve contact with the fridge or the kitchen for the next hour or so .

    Deev, sounds like things are moving in the right direction, great stuff . Perseverance pays off, good luck.

    JG, hope you are feeling better.

    MC xx

  • Comment number 51.

    Hi JG and MC

    MC - have a large glass of water or something fizzy to drink - it will stave off the hunger til later when you really need it! Trust me - it's an age old WW trick (although doesn't explain why I get the munchies for junk food when I'm sozzled!)

    Have a good evening with you friend.

    Are you feeling any brighter now JG?

    We're off out to the pub quiz tonight - never been to this pub before so don't know where it is or what to expect but I will endeavour to have my note pad and trust biro in my handbag. For doodling on when I don't know the answers. Naturally!

    Hi and thanks Deevs - I have emailed them esp as I see they seem to be advertising the same post on a weekly basis so told them I am still interested in being interviewed and trying not to sound needy!!

    MC - 2 cream eggs when you are going out to eat - large glass of water to stave off hunger pangs.

    JG - did you see the article yesterday about hayfever sufferers not having as bad a time of it with the later spring - yeah right

    JG, your risotto sounded so good yesterday I raided the fridge today to make one for me. No one else really likes it so there was just enough leftover chicken and bits for me! Yummy! (but no mushrooms!)

    S'ok now MC

    Are you going somewhere nice?

    Sorry, Mum was on t'phone!!

    I'm feeling a bit better, but have also heard that as it's such a late spring, everything is coming out at the same time, hence the pollen overload!! Weird what they all write...

    Seza, have a confession, when I looked properly at the label for the second time it was a stroganoff, but not much different IMHO!! And truly gorgeous!

    MC - TWO???? !!!! Have a good evening with your friend :)

    Susan, sorry about your interview, I've found it's normally their terms or else in the past, I must admit I do the same unless someone looks especially outstanding, although having said that, we don't get many applicants for jobs at our place on the rare occasion we recruit...But we do ask for highly qualified staff to be paid a pittance...

    I'm not really sure what you are trying to get across on today's blog.

    It would appear that you get up, albeit early, get driven to work, read a few e-mails and newspapers, talk and play records for a couple of hours and then go off to play with your friend Jonny.

    It's not really up there with putting in a shift down the pit or at a busy A & E department is it?

    Chris, you are so handsome and daring!! I've noticed I have a routine these days, particularly in the morning - think it has something to do with getting older. Bummer, eh?

    Scoobs, do you not mean the historic festival? The festival of Speed is normally in June?

    We camped at the racetrack, which was a nightmare, as we had to un-pitch on the Friday evening, and re-pitch after 11pm!!!!

    Cue many a wasted hour spent playing crazy golf in Bogner....

    Bingo, I've seen that wedding on youtube - isn't it fabulous? That's what a wedding should be.

    Just washing sweaters for the Outer Hebrides next week. I need advice on a 'capsule wardrobe'. Have one case and need to pack walking boots, waterproofs, sweaters, clothes for nighttime ceileidhs and possibly warm weather. It's a tightrope folks.

    Think it's going to be a tight case Annie!

    How many layers can you wear when you travel? ;-)

    Scoobs, Festival of speed is in July this year. The Goodwood Revival meeting is in September, and is the one where everyone dresses in period costume from the 40's, 50's and 60's. Hope you've got tickets for the right one! We will be at the revival (in costume). Pens suggestion sounds like a good idea, and Chris has been to the revival too.

    Most bizarre sighting of the day....

    A motorbike waiting in a queue!!!

    Not a lot to report on the nature watch today except that the birds have been really attacking the feeders.

    Its been jolly cold, so not so much in the way of flying fodder for the returning martins, swallows and yet to be seen swifts.

    Nice to hear that we have some nice weather forecast for saturday.

    It will be nice to catch up and have a natter in the flesh instead of on here.

    That is the only downfall of the blog, we all live so far apart.

    One day, wouldnt it be nice if we could find somewhere almost in the middle and have a mass blog meet.

    Maybe hire a marquee for the weekend?

    How about Cannock?

    But no, probably it would need to be somewhere in the middle.

    Can someone with time on their hands, pinpoint the most central place in the Uk.

    MTF: My bird box still hasn't been claimed, even though its got a For Sale sign on it - am so disappointed, although the Peregrine Falcon may have scared the little birdies away.

    Maybe Rips, JTT or Bingo could pinpoint our central meeting point??

    Haltwhistle in Northumberland!

    GR: I have a new satnav so I could be there. xxxx

  • Comment number 81.

    May be a little too far for a day trip!

  • Comment number 82.

    According to a news report and now a signpost Haltwhistle is in the centre of the country from left and right and up and down. Lovely place but not that accessible and what they would make of a blog meet would be akin to the Romans invading again I would think lol xx

  • Comment number 83.

    Bizzare, my next idea was....

    Including Bingo!

    How about York?

  • Comment number 85.

    York is a very good idea Annie x

  • Comment number 86.

    Can I just indulge myself a moment (apologies to Deevs et al) but..

    YEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10 years and finally did it!!!!

    Sorry!

    Pardon JG????? What????

  • Comment number 88.

    Dont forget, that there is a Portsmouth meet on the 12th of June.

    I cant wait to take my bucket and spade along.

    York is beautiful, well up for that. But cant make the rest of June :(

    MTF.xx

  • Comment number 89.

    JG, tell us.xxx

  • Comment number 90.

    MTF, hopefully will be in Portsmouth for the June meet. If we're organising a humungous meet, maybe we should make it around September to give everyone time to organise holidays.

  • Comment number 91.

    JG, 10 years for what?

    All these meets, deffo need to win the lotto so i can be a lady of leeeeeezure & travel round to them all! How good would that be!

    Have spent this evening making a 90th birthday card and am quite pleased with it. Is for my Dad's auntie so hope she likes it

    MTF, how are the swans?

    Seza x x

  • Comment number 92.

    Spurs just beat the Gunners which is why JG is happy.

    If we do get a meet in York in September please not between 4th to 18th as I'm away on holiday - I thank you xx

  • Comment number 93.

    Hey Seza that's an idea whoever of the bloggers wins the millions tonight throws a huge party for the rest of the bloggers and maybe pays everyone's travel costs?

    Off to bed so night all

  • Comment number 94.

    Oh right - football - yawn.

    Suse, if it ever comes off, could pick you up on the way down to York.

    Right, am off. Up at stupid o'clock again tomorrow. And I notice no-one has given me any help at all on the 'capsule wardrobe'. I'll remember that!!

    Night all. xxxx

  • Comment number 95.

    Thank you Annie - I might take you up on that. Night x

  • Comment number 96.

    I'm off too

    Night all

    Sleep well

  • Comment number 97.

    Sorry, was too busy gloating, yes, the Spurs have beat the Arsenal finally after 10 years of trying, home and away....

    Got told off for over-celebrating by dancing with Finlay by Mr JG who supports the team what normally wins everything and has no idea what it means to have lost against a certain side for 10 years!

    Anyhow, we are now not going on holiday until after the Manchester Derby!

    Annie, I wouldn't have a clue, I just take all the clean clothes I own, and hope there's a washer there...I don't own much, as you can tell...

    Oh and plenty of waterproofs and torches...

    JG x

  • Comment number 98.

    Haven't quite gone yet. JG - thanks for the tip, didn't think about a torch but what a good idea.

    xxxx

  • Comment number 99.

    I never go anywhere without a torch Annie, my night vision is zero!!
