I decided to destroy all my diaries dating back to 2004. Before doing so I thought there might be some notable dates / events that I should make a note of. There was nothing worth recording though it was interesting to recall things that happened long ago. I had a busier life back then!

However I did come across a rather puzzling entry for Thursday 27th January 2005.

9 – 12 Mlbrough (Marlborough? Middlesbrough?) Chimney Sweep £34

I have absolutely no idea what this was about. I’ve googled it but found nothing. I’m still racking my brain trying to remember what it could have been. It’s an event (9-12) with a price (£34), but what was it?!

As an aside, the previous day’s entry (“QEF IT User Group”) I well remember. Interestingly I have only just found out that the Queen Elizabeth Foundation (QEF), a disability charity I worked for at the time, has gone bust, which is very, very sad.

Have your say! (No need for any ID!)
