    Tell you my 3 yr old DD was not impressed at having to do 60 cards and me making her stand there dipping her foot into brown cold paint...te he he!

    A 9 month old (:eek: :eek: :eek: - I'll have a baby next Xmas!!!) will have slightly less capacity to argue although I'm sure there'll be vocal accompaniments...

    Oh well, I am back from my performance management exam. I failed it by 4 marks last year and I am on track to do that again this year methinks unless the examiner takes my witterings as coherant arguements...

    How come I know the theory but can't seem to apply the knowledge..Oh well, one more to go tomorrow then its all over for another six months......I don't feel too bad today.

    My cold is better and frankly I am past caring...

    Aw Sammy :grouphug:

    At least the burden of studying will be lifted from you. The freedom to plan things without thinking 'should I really be studying' is such a good feeling.

    awww samster!

    how long did you say you had to wait for results?

    Am back from work errand, didn't take company mercedes, got warehouse man to give me a lift instead, rather than faff about with parking etc in centre of Aberdeen... it was my idea, i think secretly i wouldn't have enjoyed the stress of parking a £40,000 mercedes in the high rise car park and all associated risks!!

    Today i have had a freebie box of chocs from stationers, and a drinks hamper containing champers, whiskey and bottle of red wine! all to myself, as all staff got one with their names on it....apart from my direct boss, as i'm guessing they dunno he is here? i feel a bit sorry for him, but he won't mind, if we wanted anything he can afford to buy it!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Afternoon, are there any of those mince pies still on offer?

    Just got home from work and I'm now trying to decid if it's worth doing any houseworky sort of stuff before I go and collect Miss Twit from school :confused:
    Quick show of hands please.........no, I didn't think it was worth it either :D

    I've put the heating on and I think I'll be making hot chocolate when we get in from school.

    Throw us a warm mince pie then Luc, just had a text from Miss Twit, she is now staying until 5.30, I suppose I should try and do something around the house before OH arrives home.
