    Hi folks

    £10 for my PAD to my holiday account today.

    Sashybo - good to hear about your interview - will keep my fingers crossed for your results next week.

    Angelic - Hope all went well today for you and your family and welcome to Adam (fabulous name - its my son's middle name and he loves it :D).

    Danko - congratulations on the weight loss. Love the hair colour, it really suits you.

    Well that's hump day nearly over. We go on Holiday a week today and am having a mild panic at the things I still have to do before we go :eek:. Have made lists of things to do each day so if I can stick to these then all will go well.

    A couple of terrible jokes to cheer up the middle of the working week :

    What's the difference between a fish and a piano ?
    You can't tuna fish !

    What game do fish like playing the most ?
    Name that tuna !

    1st kipper: 'Smoking's bad for you'
    2nd kipper: 'It's OK, I've been cured'

    What did the fish say when it swam into a wall?
    Dam !

    Sashybo - worry not, speaking as being a mini-boss where I work, the last question on competency based stuff is always set as hideously difficult on purpose ! Apparently only 10% of applicants are expected to do well on ours, so I reckon if you've had a good go at it then that's all positive.

    So here we are - thats a cracking little total for a first month of PADS!! Well done you!

    Evening all

    You're such a friendly lot on here, it's really cheered me up reading the last few pages!!

    Work's been rubbish today, then raced home through traffic and made tea for the kids to chimes of "I don't liiiiiiiiiiiiike thaaaaattttt / I don't liiiiiiike mushroooooms/ I don't liiiiiiiiiiiiike risottooooo/ I don't liiiiiiiiiiiiike tall things with roots oooooonnnnn" (?) onions - I'd even grated them to disguise them!
    BEAM ME UP!!!!
    So to calm myself down I inhaled 3 cadburys fingers and 2 Oreos. Normally I wouldn't bat an eyelid at that but I've lost 3 1/4 lbs this week from cutting out biscuits - might have to start on the wine ;)

    Welcome Baby Adam - I'm sure you're a cutie-pie x

    Good luck Sashybo - hope the job is yours!

    Love the photos Danko! I was in Greenwich 2 weeks ago, I don't remember it looking like that - thought it was somewhere in Scandinavia!!!

    My PAD today is £2[/SIZE] to the hefty overdraft. Have a good evening all x

    Don't listen / look Danko - Bigbum - i like your avatar - how very seasonal!!! (in case it gets changed it's the Barcelona badge at the moment). Don't know why, but i'm very excited about this game. I've bought myself some mint choc chip ice cream especially!! :j

    LondonAndy - loved the jokes...sssshhhh! :rolleyes: :D

    Sashybo - i can't believe we've all got to wait a week to find out it you get the job ;):p
    One step at a time ;)
