ANW'sMum - have a good day. Glad to see an employer recognising long service, but be prepared to be stared at by 'young ones' who think five years in a job is weird :rolleyes:

pah long service recognition from the employer??? It was me buying the cakes lol but we did enjoy them. Calculated between 5 of us we had 82 years service :eek: and one of those was 5 yrs! The scary thought is that if I was to work there until state retirement ages then I am still not half way there :rolleyes:

Morning everyone. Have slept like a log as I was shattered. It appears DDs phone has come back to life after it decided to have a drink of lemon squash. So not meeting her now. She has been offered a job at the home but its only 12 hrs and they say she can pick up more hours but its not guarenteed. But she says its not a good idea as she will be up and down to the council each week. It will affect her housing benefit. Ive made a SW quiche for later.

Have sorted my pedometer and it looks like we have a flylady walking club.:o

Im going to do the dailies then the weekend list.


pigpen, MOJ2,TAG and Me Big hugs.
Lady L Thinking of you.
Toots. Good morning.

oh well the toddle is of....Something to do with the weather being horrendous at the moment...

Anyway the firebrigade:

Wednesday last week we we were all going out for the evening so after a busy day. Mrs OJ wen tto use the shower..and puled the switch on the wall at that moment while standing there in her birthday suit, there was a buzz, a crackle and smoke poured out of the shower unit.. Meanwhile i was upstairs eating a quick sarnie before going out, My dear wife lets me know the shower is on fire could i help...my normal non comittal groan informs her, yes i have heard just let me finish eating....After about 4 second's my wife has come into the bedroom upstairs again informing me (this time with a little note of panic in her voice) that the shower really is on fire and smoke is pouring out of the unit..

So I wander downstairs look at the trip switch for the shower and it hasn't tripped so, I knock that off and walk out to the shower room, Oh Suzi is right there is smoke comming out of the unit maybe I do need to do something.. So out to my garage I go to get a screw driver, so I can remove the cover.

After removing the bottom screw, the smoke now starts... whats the phrase oh yes BILLOWING...Now Not bothering with the top screw I remove the cover and use the Kitchen fire extingisher sparingly on what is now a nice little roar of a fire...

The fire is now out.. nut what to do we need to go out and I don't really need it to start up again while im not in...

A quick phone call later to my father (a now retired Officer in the local brigade)

8 mins after that a big shiny red truck pulls up outside of my house. ( now I had an inkling I would know one or two of the dear fellows inside,) What I didn't bargin for was knowing every single one of them as they pulled up got out laughed and told me to put the kettle on....

After much humour ( of which I happend to be the victim) and a few gallons of coffe later, a go in the engine for the kids, we finally went out for the evening..
