    That must have come as a shock. I thought he would have been there forever.


    How are you, oh lurker? ;)

    It was beginning to feel like he was going to be here forever! He was beginning to irritate TBH - the expectation that I would have cooked his tea and the comments on 'well, you haven't been doing anything all day' were not helpful when you've just had the latest job rejection.

    He may be back in the summer but whether I or the room will be here is in question!

    I don't think I will find the Dr sexy Beanie. It's a woman. Have checked her out on google and she does exist. Just waiting for her to get back in contact.

    I have missed chatting to you Z

    Aye... that is a bit much. If he wants B&T, he can pay the rates for it.

    Where are you thinking of moving to? How's the job hunting going?

    Well you know, Beanie is just hedging her bets... ;)

    Well, you know where I am. I'm (usually) always around, like a Big Issue seller...

    Shocking that Christmas comes twice a year where you are... ;)

    I thought the slush fund was DS's floor..?

    He's getting a bit wiser - the £1.76 or whatever it was last time hurt him way too much! Glad he's getting the message though. Will just have to invite my dad round more often, he's a bit like Butti's old lodger and there's always money down the sofa after he's been:D.

    Big news for the day is that the mortgage is now in the £49Ks :j:j out of the £50Ks at last.

    Y'know I was feeling bad, like this was theft. Don't know whether the fact other trusted friends are at it makes me feel better or worse!

    If I saw someone drop any amount Butti I'd give it back but there's no way I can be sure who it belongs to... Obviously if we were talking notes I'd tell him!!!

    I once had a bet with my dad (2 months after I'd started nurse training that (his words) 'There's no such muscle in the body as the tricep'. Had to have a quick mental exercise of how much I could extract without it being obvious I knew I was right - £10.

    The first words my mother, another nurse, uttered on me leaving the room to go and get my anatomy book. 'Well you'd better get your wallet out!'

    Yeah, but anatomy books don't tell the whole story. Although it's in the book, for some people the bicep doesn't exist either - and as for the brain... :eek::rotfl:

    Have been feeling under the weather - just a cold but it's rubbish the way these things wait until you are on holiday to creep up and pounce :(

    On the upside today was a NSD, and had a yummy omlette to use up the fridge contents :D

    Yep, it's a conspiracy to make sure we remain as little wage-slaves. I've only started to feel decent over the past couple of days, and I'm back on monday...
