    But Quillion, I [STRIKE]want[/STRIKE] NEED to study!!!! and I have got 3 free months with orange internet, so by downloading as much as I can now, surely I am moneysaving:rotfl::cool: ;)

    Ok let you off and yes you need to study What are you studying for? I already know though der its the Welsh exam
    My Grandad was Welsh and when we used to go on holiday we spoke english and the welsh went and spoke welsh. When my grandad replied in welsh the people were so different with us.

    He came from Mid Glamorgan and had a sister in Rhyl and another sister in Conway. From the bedroom window you could see Conway Caetle and at night all lit up was the best view ever.

    My aunty and uncle and cousin live in Welshpool and Thomas is welsh and English speaking i am so jelous.

    No Star but :T:T well done for doing the study xx

    I was glad to get home tonight, had people is checking that we are doing things correctly etc etc at work today. I was the 'chosen' one :rolleyes: to answer some of the questions! Time will tell if I am still employed tomorrow :rotfl:

    Kazw I shall ask Miss A about the stamps in the morning, I am not sure if they do collect or not, they collect just about everything else!

    If it's ok with Toots (have already checked with Miss A) then I will post pics of the card she sent this week :)

    I wish you lot would stop doing so much while I'm at work :rolleyes:

    No flying done... but I have called a few contacts, and have just put my entire team on the market for new jobs :eek: I told them after our BSI audit this morning that management consultants were coming in and I couldn't guarantee either that I'd be there to look after them or that they would have jobs and if they did that they'd be what they expected/wanted, so they should make sure that they kept their CVs up to date and if something came up to take it.

    I also had a chat with my ex-boss, who reminded me indirectly about an ex-colleague, so I called him... and told him that the whole team may be available, which he is going to bring up with his management team as they have a project on the go... so fingers crossed it'll work out. I've even resorted to calling ex-OHs to ask them to let me know if they hear of anything :o

    What is it with some people - and jumping on the bandwagon having a sodding go at people and you are only armed with half of the facts!?!?!?!?

    I ASKED FOR THE LIST! Thats why its come up - I asked for it!!! Only me - I wanted to do something nice for some of the flyladies who are particularly poorly etc at the minute.....which in my absolute stupidity included you Pigpen!

    I also wanted Greenbees details as she was kind enough to send me some garden lights and I wanted to send her a thank you.

    Greenbee wasnt on the list which is how I know people were missing. No one was forced to send me their information, and yes being aware of the rules now, its a conversation that could easily happen on Facebook so thanks for that Pen.ny

    As for you Pigpen - I hope both your health and mood seriously improve. I havent sent out anyones details to anyone else - but just you lash out with that silvery tongue of yours.

    Dont worry - I wont bother sending you your package - after i have removed you from having jumped so far down my throat with no justification whatsoever, I shall also remove you from my xmas card list and would appreciate you removing me from your flylady list in return.

    Im not being spoken to like that from you or anyone else.

    To the rest of you - it was really lovely to have 'met' all of you and was really glad to be part of this lovely thread for a short time. xx

    oh arent we in a flounce! :rolleyes:

    there was nothing in my response to you that required such a venomous attack on myself or any other member here... had I intended a malicious post it would have been crystal clear not just your misinterpretation of my words. It wasn't a compulsory list it was for those individuals who wanted to take part which is why there are most of the flypeoples not on it.. they chose not to share their details. For the record I am not particularly happy not knowing who has my personal address etc.. it was for those on the list and those people only.. and this is one of the main reasons it is not permitted to share personal details like these on the forum.

    If you wish to take the wrong way my explanation of the rules around the christmas list then feel free, I will not be losing sleep over it.

    And while my tongue may be silvery it is also armour plated and serrated!

    G&B - shaking stripes...that's the first time i've laughed today! I needed to, thankyou.

    Ok, update. A neighbour came to see me to say he'd seen two men acting suspiciously by my door. We've spent 9 hours looking for keys. We're pretty sure they were stolen so....all locks changed. Feel relieved but bloody stupid! Luckily we have a friend who's a locksmith so it will be costly but not as bad as it could have been. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

    Ok, off to shake the dog xx

    Evening All :wave:
    Have I walked into a ruck?? Feel like Officer Barbrady from South Park.... "move along, nothing to see here" :D

    Anyhoo... How is everyone tonight? I'm still bloomin tired. This virus is a weird one. Today I took the dog for a long walk, and it finished me off. So I haven't got a lot done today other than my dallies, and got the washing done.

    However, we're off to Plymouth to see my lovely cousins tomorrow night. We're only going for a couple of days. I'm really looking forward to it, even if it is a long drive down for us. :D

    Just decluttering a large glass of Merlot.
