Ooo - you've changed your avatar Maz. Very smart, and shows that Frog is a very special person to you :-D :-D

Good luck with the visitation YG - If you are after funding, wouldn't they rather see you all beavering away with stacks of paper work and phones ringing???

Hey, Maz, you are in competition with LG!!! Love the crown and robe!!

DET, that is precisely my argument, but it is ever like that!! I always argue about having very tidy desks and top quality food for them!! They will think we have too much money! I think it is going to be a difficult day, but thankfully the directors will take the hit, not me!!

its all show lol we used to get warned of inspections it used to annoy me and still does they should see how it really is lol

What a very regal froggy. Well done Maz. Hope the cough clears up before too long. And yes keep those germs on that side of the planet.

Look at the wall washing as part of your exercise program DET. Better not let your OH read that, or he might decide to let you do it all in the name of fitness.

I know what YG means about inspections and official visits. Don't know why they try to tizzy up the place to impress people. You need to show lots of cramped untidy work areas with people frantically working and phones ringing all the time. Don't worry they will probably look for two minutes and then sit behind closed doors for an hour eating the special biscuits, drinking tea and discussing who won the soccer.

I would really love a Milo thank you Pauline. Dribbling at the mouth as I say that. However my healthy eating plan does not have Milo written on it. No matter how hard I look for it. It is water or peppermint or other tea infusions. Horrible stuff, tastes like cardboard dipped in hot water. I've lasted 14 days on the "diet".

Has it made a difference. Of course. I am hungry, slightly crazier and I am sure I have gained at least 6oz. Oh well I said I'd do it for three months. Think of me whle I go off excursioning with twenty others all of whom will be eating chocolate, drinking red wine, and consuming creamy desserts and cakes.

Ooh Aunty, don't mention the phones!! We are usually bullied into making calls so that the response centre looks busy. It is very disheartening when you are trying to think up problems to discuss with someone on the other side of the dividing wall, when the visitors are stood with them!! It has happened on several occasions, but tomorrow I think we will escape as it is a gov dept and they are more interested in statistics!

I'm off to cry under the bedcovers now because I can't any suitable free avatars! Although I must admit that I am rather fond of my little fireman!!

Ooooh, take a look at what I have found!!! I could hardly believe my eyes lol :-D

Taking it easy then LG? That throne sure looks comfy ;-)

Keep on with the diet AS - your insides are probably thanking you for it, and the best of luck sticking to it over the weekend. I think I've lost a pound this week, so will have to look down the back of the chairs to see if it is there. :-D

LaGooner Report 12 Oct 2011 23:46

LOL DET see if you can find my lost pounds while you are at it :-D :-D. The throne is very comfy, nice of Pauline to find thisfor me as I have searched for ages for an Avitar like this

Oh LG isn't that an excellent avatar. You to a "t" looking all regal, and fierce. Well done Pauline, where on earth did you find that one?

Morning all - Maz must have

a) overslept
b) lost connection/power
c) be on an early shift.

Hope its dry today. Yesterday there was some washing on the line. Then it rained when I wasn't looking, so it stayed out over night. Its still wet. :-(

Still tired and could have stayed in bed; I think OH has fiddled with the clock - it was that sort of time when you think 'Shall I get up, or go back to sleep?' Peeved is not the word!!!

Morning Maz, Oh dear it must be one of those days H is going to put in a complaint to her manager today about another member of staff. Hope all works out well for you. Will look in later to see how you got on but I am now off to climb the ladder and start washing down.

Catch everyone later, have a good day <3 <3

+++DetEcTive+++ Report 13 Oct 2011 10:10

Ugh! The Stairs! Do take care on that ladder LG. Redecorating that is also on our 'to do' list, along with the upstairs landing. But with 6 doors and frames up there which need rubbing down, its enough to make anyone delay. :-(

Hope the new job prospect works out Maz. And good luck for H.
PC is waiting for a complaint to be put in against her by one of the patients - he is 'stalking' her and has already made unfounded allegations about someone else. She refuses to be alone with him as he has such a volatile temper and has already beaten up one member of staff, who he 'liked'.

Oh dear, it's a day for complaints today. Hope it all goes well for everyone.

Washing walls is definitely not a job for royalty........... those slippers might get wet.

(__)? large cup of cyber Milo for Aunty........... it's calorie free.

No idea where I got the avatars from, must have looked at 2 dozen sites. I'll have to look for one for Halloween for myself. Not sure if I want to be a witch or not!!
