Evening everyone.

Well I have finally done it!! Had my annual review today and informed them that one of my aspirations for the next twelve months is to go part time!!

Whoo hoo!!

Oh well done YG. H has had her review and said she deserves more money for the work she does :-D. I would not personally do her job for love nor money :-P

Hi LG. We are supposed to be going on to performance related pay, but I can't see it making any difference as they keep harping on about other charities getting less pay than we do, plus all the perks we get, ha-ha!!

Hmmmm usual excuses :-(. By the way I think you sent your cold across the cyber room :-P I feel bloomin awful LOL

hi there i been busy ,I have been into darlington as my phone has been playing up and the nearest shop is there so Froggy came too .i have had problems for awhileand keep getting different advice over the phone anyway i need a new sim card so that is coming by courier on saturday sometime
and we wandered around for a while my two bargains were two pairs of trousers for a pound each brand new not even seconds .I got back mid afternoon then i have done some more chores .
Just made tea and through some ingredients in to some chicken portions cooked them slow covered by foil .Andrew says it was good do it again lol it was all guess work .

Oooh sorry LG!! I must have left some germs in the throne room!!

Well done Maz! You certainly know how to find the bargains!

i do lol

I'll forgive you YG :-D

Thank you so much, LG!!

I really didn't fancy going in the stocks tonight. It is pouring down outside!!

Oh dear - now you've both got the lurgy. Tut tut. Here, have a jumbo box of hankies and keep the germs well away from here.

Well done YG for setting one of your personal targets as cutting down your hours. At least you've given them lots of notice. Now you have to set yourself a date.

And Maz has bagged a bargain - you'll have to pass on some tips. The closest I get is end of season T shirts from TU

I was alright until about 3 pm then it suddenly hit me. Never mind I'll live :-D

That's good to hear. Hopefully OH has recovered enough to wait on you now!

Saw one of those jokey type key-rings today

Children have colds
Men have Flu
Women just get on with it.

:-D

LOL DET that's about right. I am off to bed now dosed up with pills and hot drink. Catch you tomorrow <3. Nite nite all

Night night, hope you get a good healing sleep - might head that way myself <3

Morning all, lovely and sunny here but I have no energy to go into the garden Grrrr :-( :-P. There is so much to do out there but hey ho there's always another day. Probably a wet one knowing my luck :-(

Morning LG - sorry to hear that you are feeling yuk. The forecast for Sun and Mon is good, so perhaps you will feel up to it by then. You could always take your chair and coffee outside and just sit and relax :-)

It is still a bit chilly out there at the moment but I might well do that later. I have to venture out in a minute to put the next lot of washing on the line so I will check the temperature then :-D. What are you up to today ?

Probably not a lot! We had vaguely mentioned going out out with a picnic (as opposed to popping out for a couple of hours) but no plans made.

The rest of the tomato plants need to be binned :-( so I may do that, but that won't take long, and OH wants a prickly bush cut back. And that's about it. He has downloaded a new free drawing CAD style programme, so may hog the PC.

Sigh

I have got to go and water the tomatoes later. I am lucky in that we have had a bumper crop and they are so sweet I have been eating them like sweets. That helps with the diet :-D. I have also got some cucumbers nearly ready so looking forward to those too

I'm so jealous - mine got mildew, we think because of poor ventilation, despite leaving the door open.
This is the 2nd year in a row it has happened. OH has suggested that next year we have some outside and fewer in the plastic greenhouse and see how that works. I'd even grown them from seed on the window cill. Each tomato I've managed to rescue must have cost about £2.50 each. So much for cheap, fresh food. :-( :-(
