    Hellooooooooooooooooo !!!!! :hello: :hello: :hello: :hello: :hello:

    I'm still about but went a little wobbily when I saw fays knees yesterday:rotfl:, had to sit down for a bit.:rotfl:

    I was going to become a naked cleaner until I got a quote for the electrolocis I'd need , definatly not MS. :eek:
    Didnt want to shave or wax , I've seen that bit in the 40year old virgin :eek:

    I'm so all over the place at work getting pulled from pillar to post ,
    trying NOT to get stuck between a rock & a hard place,
    one guy leaving & teaching new stuff to new guy ,
    having to teach new person in another department their job as best I know it even though I've never done it either.
    I've definatley been given a JOB rise , but not a PAY rise to go with it.:mad:

    Poor Hamster. Perhaps you could nick one of Piq's bath bombs (when you're cleaning) and have a lovely soothing bath until all your emoticons are yellow again!
    Sounds like you and Piq have a special boss in common!

    So BBG remembers you.... oooohhh.

    I can't spend long on Lush cos the aroma in there gives me a terrible headache.

    Maybe Hamster has gone off to be naked cleaner himself?

    It does that to me too GG - I thought I was the only one!

    Piq - we pay £14.09 insurance per month for the wretched CAT! :mad: Ridiculous money and OH and I are agreed that the time will come when we will simply call a halt to it and if anything happens we'll have to take the view that she's had a good life, but enough's enough. :confused: Makes your gentleman look quite sensibly priced in comparision really and frankly I'd far rather pay the extra £22 if it meant I'd have a horse to insure.....! ;) Were you able to do it through Quidco or another cashback site?

    You're doing so well on the MBNA (We could come up with ideas for what that ought to stand for!) card though so don't get downhearted and if you need to pay a little less this month, so be it - it's in a good cause!

    Hello :hello:

    I think he's worth it!! The problem with horses is the vet fees, you get a call out charge before you've even started :rolleyes: It's a peace of mind thing really, that or stick everything back on the credit card...

    I think I know what the B in MBNA stands for.... must be b*st**ds

    Good to see you again! Thought we'd upset you.

    Well done on the job rise - here we call it a high performance culture, it means you do two or three peoples work but get paid for one - the ultimate get three for the price of one...

    Don't go for waxing, hamsters are supposed to be hairy :T

    Glad you're enjoying Fay's knees
