    ....and today an NSD but not quite in the way intended....really I should have stayed in bed, and I'm quite sure it's not just me saying that.

    Pity the people who have the misfortune of working with me...not my colleagues...the people who happen to have met me about five times and don't even work for my company. People who happen to have a wallet with a £10 note in it when I have left mine at home....and 20 minutes after a site meeting are greeted with the site of me begging :D:Dso that I can ensure I am not going to run out of petrol in deepest darkest deep rural place. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Yes...those of you who send me adverts to work at your places of work think on this....think whether you can afford it!

    Guess who's buying the chocolate biscuits for the next meeting :o

    Lessons for today;

    1. Have a tenner stashed in an envelope in the car for emergencies
    2. Be nice to people.

    You want more than a tenner. When I first started to drive (you know, when the world was sepia) I had a fiver stashed in my car. That was when petrol was 34p per litre.

    You want to scale that fiver appropriately.

    But surely you always are? :A

    Well one of my New Years resolutions has been binned.
    Sign language had become a chore I wasn't enjoying, was taking up too much time and had all the signs of costing more money on repeated resits.
    Why? I asked myself and I had no answer!
    When I ring up and speak to them tomorrow I'll also get some money back.

    Good decision, some times you have to reevaluate as you go along, I did the same with Spanish recently - was a time drain.

    Good decision I think Butti.
    Mind you you dident practise too much in the Burgh as we were busy :beer:.:cool:

    If it is a chore it is longer a hobby & time to bin it.
