(waiting for rude reply from LG)

The carpet was lifted and the Sky cable tucked underneath this afternoon - it only took 2 months to arrange someone to actually appear to do it. Don't trades men want the work???

That's a long wait, DET. But you are right, people don't seem to want the work nowadays.

Round here there are loads of eastern europeans that have set up car wash operations and they seem to earning a good amount. They are always busy and they work hard, which is something a lot of the UK folk seem to be afraid of nowadays. They want money for nothing.

The other place I'd asked was the Carpet shop in the village. They said they would call me when they'd spoken to their fitter - not :-|

If people can't fit a job in or aren't interested, then at least they could phone and let you know. It really annoys me.

Well done the E Europeans finding a niche in the market. Most of the car wash people in the Supermarket carparks aren't British born, and they do work hard. Wonder what would happen if Immigration paid an unannounced visit - lol

We need it Dorothy, we surely need it!

We've lost PC. Her bed is empty and she is no where to be seen. Her car is still outside. As Tues is her Uni day, she may have gone there, but she didn't mention it last night. Kids. Grrr.

Anyone got an oxygen tank going spare!!!!

Oooh, my knees are still trembling!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D





Not one, but TWO fire engines called into the unit at the side of our offices at lunchtime. False alarm, I think, but ooooh were those engines full of good looking fire officers or what!!!! My colleague waved at them in the first engine and they waved back!!!!!

I just can't contain myself ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Are you feeling revived now YG?? At least it spiced up your day ;-)

Sorry to hear one of the offspring is giving you grief LG. If it's not one, its another and it can't be easy having so many counting the different varieties.

We decided PC had gone off to Uni as OH heard her pottering and the door slam before we got up. She did say this evening that it was easy for us to get confused...or should that be that we *are* easily confused? Cheeky wotsit!

We had a good afternoon driving around to get all the 'errands' done, and co-inciding our journey to collect PC when she called for her personal taxi. Coffee snob OH has decided that A*da version in the 'At Home' outlet is as good as and cheaper than Costa's! Pity we don't often go in that direction.

I would have been revived if my colleague had brought one back into the office, fireman's lift style for me to bring home!! She nipped out for milk but alas came back minus the fireman!! :-D

I can't comment on the coffee, DET, as I am not a lover of it I'm afraid. We make plenty of filtered coffee at work for management but not a drop passes my lips!! I always tend to think these modern franchises are over-rated, but that is just my opinion :-)

Evening Maz!!
