Actually the one I’ve just got is better…

After these two hours you will never want to hear Brenda Lee singing “Rocking around the Christmas Tree” ever again.

Here’s mine……

Our pianist is definitely available but we may not have our usual conductor.

And no Binners isn’t from me I’m also wondering who on earth it is….. 😯

I’d just like to add at this point that I can indeed remember speaking to the lovely boy BUT I cannot remember this conversation or my part in it….

…..I’m going to go for a lie down now….!

Debs x

How irritating OP for you to live with one…..

‘jus sayin’

My take on it is you make the best of what comes at you some of its rubbish yes but there’s too much moaning about everything these days

(warning annoying quote coming up)

If life throws you lemons crack open the tequila (I know not technically right but who wants lemonade?)

Love Bagpuss AKA the person that lives with a pessimist and is greying early due to this…….

I’m a Jew… I’m small… I’m homosexual… and I live in Sheffield… I’m fu**ed. (History Boys)

Makes me wee a bit every time I hear it – love this film!!!

That was for Binners in his behalf as its a pub and he sort of likes beer a bit…..

You won’t get any hassle off Binners unless via his phone they’ve made some adjustments to comps at work and he can’t get on anything hence there being no arguments on here at all this morning 😉

That’s fab to hear. I don’t know you but your story and determination are just the kick up the a**e I needed today. well done you. Stay ace!!!

I was chucked in at the deep end too. I organised 1:1 meetings with all 14 of them in my first 2 weeks there. And, like another poster explained to them why I’d been brought in, what my background and experience was and how they could help me, also asked how I could help them and what had been missing from them not having any line management.

Had a great (well not always) relationship with them after that. most of the first meetings were bitch-fests about other staff so sorted all those issues out first and got a happy team. Consulted staff are happier good communication up and down is a must.

Good luck and congratulations on your promotion

damn…. found a cool pic but it doesn’t work *sighs*……

No Darling you’ve been having yours for long enough now…. its my turn!!

Although opening a home for fluffy things sounds good…..

You’d better get a second job I intend to pack mine in and hang around the Weatherspoons drinking cheap cider in a tracksuit for a few months

or wrap it in a towel put it in the airing cupboard……

TPT Its my dwindling options in this sector that are frustrating me I left the private sector as I ‘wanted to make a difference’ and was sick of making fat cats money but now I guess for purely selfish reasons I want my hard work to show some benefit to me but don’t want to become too ‘driven’ or target based as enough stress from other areas in life without getting back into all that again…..

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm marine biologist architectural technician – ice cream van division…. sounds good…..

18 months later is a bit weird? It is a soft wood I guess that reacts to atmosphere and should be kept away from radiators etc perhaps it also soaks up damp from floors? What surface is it on / room is it in? Mold?

Nasty nasty stuff!! When I worked for the Wildlife Trust it was our biggest issue. What area of the UK you in?

I wanted to study Marine Biology at Banger but my ex husband (who I met at 15) chucked a wobbler about me going away to Uni and I did Building and Construction at Bolton instead….. not sure how those link in…..

We could get an ice-cream van? Go halves?

The SKY bloke drilled through a gas pipe in my old house…. had no heating for a week in December…. scary stuff you were VERY lucky.

You can get little hand held machines that check for pipes etc that bleep don’t know how much they are?

TJ – Better idea sack these lot off pretend you’re on the ride and come and get hammered in Rammy with me they won’t notice once they start trying to out-do each other on the climbs 😉

I can confirm that there was indeed a whole world of faffing by Binners on his move over to Ramsbottom. Sorry to have missed it I was looking forward to meeting everyone I haven’t as of yet!

But they’re so pretty and open so functional for hot days…. go for these OP

There now these are much more like proper sandals….. much better!

Personally for me Binners is sound until Brad leaves Angelina then he’s toast BUT we have had a frank and open conversation about it and he knows how the land lies…. its all about being honest you see….

I love the noise

Binners Birks do get put outside of the door by me on a regular basis…..

They’ll scratch anything! My Maine Coon even scratched a really rough leather suite from running across it with his claws out my wicker CD rack is wrecked down one side and she also has a go at the wood floors where its uneven (proper old floor rather than laminate)

You could try the water-pistol trick worked for my friend quick squirt if he went to scratch the sofa thing was he just waited till she was out of the room……

It’s your favourite night now as you can come and watch me and the girls belly-dancing as you ride down the steps of doooooooooooooooooom!!!!!

hahaha I LOVE Simon’s Cat I like the one with the fly when it trashes the room whilst he’s asleep in the chair

awwwwwwwwwwww Stumpy look at her now bless x

Yep toys ignored or scared of, but dressing gown cords, cotton hanging off clothes, flies and imaginary bits of fluff all good to go

Our Jessica Rabbit Madonna Edwards or Jess as she’s more commonly known

OMG Khani they are lovely!!!!

Ooooooooooh at last a thread I like.

Cats are ace, they’re independent and not as ‘needy’ as dogs plus you don’t have to walk them.

I’ve always had rescue cats apart from one big bu**er called Mr Darcy who is a Maine Coon who is as big as this one…..

You can go away over night if they’ve enough food and water etc and they don’t chew shoes

Ours has the tendency to favour her dad *Binners* and likes to sit on his Guardian and is generally the only person who can get a smile out of him when he’s got a grump on…..

1) All my debt wiped out instantly
2) The ability to be more confident not to use back brakes as much going down hills
3) For my contract at work to go on after September of this year!

Oooooooooooh *jealous* 🙁

Oh……….. I just got the reference……. *hangs head*

IGMC

Sindy Caravans for me in the 70’s was ace until fat Samantha sat on it and crushed it just looked on a site they’re going for £160!!!!!!! The cow……

I’ve got a BL postcode and moved from a BB postcode so from a town centre high crime area to a rural area and mine went up!! Must be coz they knew Binners was moving in….

I get Ms. now instead of Miss?

Also when I was looking at face creams in Boots last week the woman said to me “this is better for mature skin”

*sobs*
