[Closed] Are you excited about something currently?

New job to start in a few weeks

Going to be a dad in five months time.

going to the alps on saturday 🙂

may be getting a new bike............ 🙂

The imminent arrival of Psychle Junior, due any day now... our first 😯 😀

Psychle, ours is due in about 3 weeks...

I'm massively exited about team team training tonight.

Weathers going to be perfect and I missed Tuesday's club ride so I'm itching to get out. 😀

The Olympics. I can't wait. I've really embraced it! I'm ded ded excited!!!

TO mark the occassion of a year to go, I've just had a 2 massive digital clocks fitted to the outside of my house. One is a countdown to the start, the other racks up how many billion pounds of taxpayers money has been spunked up the wall

TJ what is your new job? Same thing different place?

Just about to have a lunchtime nap

Getting married. woo and indeed hoo.

Heading out on the trails in 1hr 30mins 😀

Revelling in all this positivity... I'd like to see all the above on the 10 o'clock news to balance the world's woes. Good luck to all!

I have a ham and cheese toasty and a mug of coffee waiting for me.

Resigning from most of my current job on Tuesday or Wednesday, starting another late August.

Anyone living between Stoke and Stafford want a part-time lodger ?

I don't get excited about anything these days.

To be honest I really want to start a new job in September. That'll give me time to chill out and hang out with the new kid.

Still, it'll mean more money if I do start straight away tho.

zesty 314 just arrived with parcelforce

I am shortly moving to Bangkok to work for 4 months. Bike coming with me so should get a bit of riding in.

Regards,
Matt.

currently in the process of rebuilding my first ever home. wanted to move out of the parents place but couldnt afford anything new and shiny so found myself a place that needed a fair bit of work and looking forward to getting it all done and moving in

TJ what is your new job? Same thing different place?

Permanent full time job at a level to suit (2IC)- same sort of thing - looking after batty old folk

Redundancy starts 5 weeks tomorrow but pretty much got the last 3 weeks as holidays.

Alps trip coming up (road bike 😳 ).

It's nearly the weekend!

5 pairs of Oakleys heading to me from around the world

Wife booked 3 days camping at Cwmcarn without realising it had a trail centre. And then said "Ohh why not take your bike!" 😆

Just got back into motorbike trials earlier this month after a 24 year gap! Done 3 so far and really enjoying it 🙂

I am setting up a new outdoor business at the moment and its very exciting.

Scuba diving Hanifrau Bay in 2 weeks for my honeymoon (already married)

And canoeing down the Wye this weekend!

Off motorcycle touring in the Alps for 10 days in a couple weeks. Very excited 🙂

I'm excited about getting rid of this hangover.

The future ... and not knowing what it will be!

A year ago this uncertainty terrified me - lost my relationship / home / half of my belongings / some friends and for most of the time my dog.

But now I'm exited about not knowing what the future holds - meeting new people, making new friends, discovering new places, breaking down my pre-conceptions, going off doing new activities (mountaineering in the alps in a couple of weeks), and looking for a new home just for me.

Have discovered that massive life changes can be exciting, challenging, and fun 🙂

All the stressful preparations for our move are also now complete I think. Ordered a load of things for last minute change of plan, and they have all arrived in time.

Roof rack for bikes, freeing up load space in the 'van - check
Air suspension to help with towing fully laden - check
Car fixed from accident to satisfaction finally - check
Gas fixed - check
Flat properly clean - check
Caravan fixed - check

All the above paid for by not having to buy flights for Mrs Grips and her folks. I hope they like camping!

Permanent full time job

Less time available for talking to batty middle-aged folk on here then.

Sue - sounds good.. don't get too attached to stuff and things.. change is often good - no, essential!

binners - I am cleaning up spring vegetable soup.

That post was FaF!

It reminded me of a massive digital clock that was submerged in the Liffy in the middle of Dublin. It was counting down to the millenium.

Your description of how taxpayers' money had been utilised that cause the soup leak 😆

Off on hols to California tomorrow
with my bike

Dialled alpine frame turning up soon and having my x-ray in a couple of weeks, meaning I can ride the new steed!

I've had a pretty good year so far and it's suddenly got a ton better. After a couple of years of being skint (1 income for family of 4 - 2 little uns one after the other) this year we've moved to a big house (well big in my book anyway) and my wife has just scored the most amazing job. Our income has more than doubled, my mum has moved to the same town (lots of help with the kids) and my work have finally put me on an 8k training course which means I'll be working as a part time consultant in the next 3 years. It's been a hard slog for a few years up til now. And that is putting it mildly. This time last year I remember going to the supermarket after 8pm when they discount stuff and buying bread for 10p and bananas that were on the turn because that's all we could afford. Apart from commuting I didn't have the time, energy or money to ride for fun. Now I've recently got, and been able to ride, a brilliant road bike and am about to pull the trigger on some rebas for my 29er and a new full suss. Probably sounds like cock waving, sorry for that.

I'm excited about the future. I feel that in my small world I've earned it (or actually my wife has 🙂 )

High 5 yoss.

I'm excited about opening a swiss bank account this morning and getting a repaired macbook back tomorrow. Not excited about paying for repair as said account is devoid of funds.

I'm excited about The Grips' return to the UK.

I am very bored at the moment however, exacerbated by the stuff I want to get done for the trip - thinking of going and getting a big bag of sweets though just to allevite the ennui.

yosarrian - that's great! Sounds as though you've had a tough time and now have a well-earned break.

LOTS ! 40th Part in three weeks, Blur TRc arriving soon, new baby due 3rd September, Nomad C should be back mid septmeber and about 75% of the way towards my target.

Thanks molgrips. Is this your second child that's imminent?

yosarrian - that's great! Sounds as though you've had a tough time and now have a well-earned break.

It is an amazing thing not having to get up at 5, work all day, clean up all evening, queue up for the cheap shite, get no sleep AND be totally penniless. It's lucky i do gallows humour. 🙂

Well it would have been a road race tonight but if not, then I'll turn it into a nice summer evenings training ride.

I'm excited about getting married in 4 weeks and 1 day exactly 🙂

Riding tonight and also got a bit of a massive ride which is all coming together nicely. Round the Isle of Wight offroad in a day, sticking to the coastline as much as possible on ROWs, cheeky trails a necessity!

Yoss it is. (see what I did there? 🙂 )

Will be much less trepidation on my part so I should find it more fun I think. Plus Lil Grips MkI is going to be chuffed to bits I think 🙂

Also excited about returning to Blighty. Fish, chips, cup o'tea, Mary f'in Poppins.. curry, wine gums.. mm..

Oh and local MTBing! Really looking forward to a warm afternoon raz around the woods.. yeah 🙂

All the basic stuff is much easier with no. 2 and I reckon they are a lot more relaxed because you are.

Your eldest is about to get a proper best mate which is so brilliant for kids when they are little.

Rain, dont forget the rain.

i'm excited about:

spending the day with jedi on 18th august

i'm excited about my holiday in chamonix week after next 🙂

Cadair Idris in August.

I'm moderately excited about going on holiday to the lakes in a couple of weeks, but this is tempered by the wife being in a grump with me and her leg playing up (and so may need further surgery).

Not what you need before a walking/cycling holiday in the Lakes...

Big promotion on the 16th September. Right out of my comfort zone (see how I'm getting all the corporate bollocks nailed now) but I always did like a challenge. Very excited about that.

Also, I'm just sorting out the design for my first Tattoo.

So....

IT Manager - check
Mid forties tattoo - Check

All I need to do now is stop riding my bike all the time and I can call myself a proper STWer.

IT Manager? Gissa job.

I am utterly excited about spending the weekend with my wife sans children - they are being dropped off at the grand parents' on Saturday morning and we are collecting them on Sunday evening. It will be the first night we have had alone in over two years so a day of shopping, eating, drinking and whatever else we still have the energy to do in the evening followed by a lie in on Sunday (although we will naturally wake at 6am as we are so used to it...).

We have the in-laws staying currently, but the lilun doesn't seem to be taking to them very well so I'm not sure she'd like being left with them.

Fortunately our two love granny and especially 'dandad' and will probably enjoy their weekend more than we will ours 🙂

Excited..

29er'ing tonight on fave trails - check
Suns out - urm (looks out of window) - check
MrsBouy loves me - Uber Check
Chinese tonight - check

Simple but perfect things.

Jedi, I also assume you are looking forward to meeting me next Friday ?

Chilli in slow cooker - check
Missus coming up the M1 to see me in a few hours - check
4 day weekend - check
sunshine - check
surfing lessons booked - uncheck, going to check on the surf tonight

timp, of course. i get excited about every days coaching session 🙂

Excited by...

Norwich Pride this weekend

Mad panic next weekend, getting ready for

Morzine the weekend after - yay!!!!

Rachel

new bike hopefully in time for paternity leave. 😉

2 weeks camping with my boy on the north Cornish coast starting Saturday! 😀

still excited about the next time i'm going to ride my recently built, 3 ride old nukeproof mega.

and very much excited about a 3 week tour of china with the mrs coming up in a few weeks.

then a weekend riding some bens in scotland in october.

I am glad this positive thread has more posts than emma82's negative one 🙂

at the moment I am mostly excited about coffee.. fruit juice and the prospect of a night of good chunky house music in august..

Taking baby-g to London Zoo tomorrow to start my 4 day weekend

and

2 week massive family holiday in 51 days

Not excited but just amazed at the amount of sweat dripping from Morrisseys brow right now.

Going for holiday next month!

Picking up my new Fargo frame this Saturday morning from the LBS after it's been faced, and building it up that afternoon 😀

Excited for my friends' theatre company, taking their 3rd show up to Edinburgh this year, on the back of awards for the first two. Saw a preview last night and it's flippin amazing.

Excited about a weekend's climbing in the Wye Valley this weekend, maybe a lap round Cwmcarn too.

Excited about having gf back on Sunday from 2 weeks in Uganda.

And about leaving the office in a minute to meet a mate for a beer or 3. He's off to live with/film/document the Amish in the states for a month.

Excited that there may just be enough swell left to get a cheeky after work surf in. Riding Sat + Sun + building up the 69er. Happy days.

Third date with a girl I like slightly too much considering she is leaving the country in about 4 days time, at least I won't have time to cock anything up!

New CX bike on its way.

Fortnight's holiday in September with only one week currently planned (8 days trekking in Knoydart...)

Two weekends hiking coming up, followed hopefully by a cessation in back problems resulting in more riding and ultimately the Bealach Mor sportive.

Looks like a good few months (especially if said girl returns in October once I've got my summer's biking and hiking out the system 8) )

[i]IT Manager? Gissa job. [/i]

Already advertised for a replacement for me here.
