    (and that AF is nice to you)

    Ohhh, I've just realised what you mean! I though you were talking about angelfairy and was thinking "that's a long way to go".. :o
    Thanks guys, the neighbour on the other side of her has just called over to tell me that she phoned this morning to tell her. It was quite sudden last night, he got a chest infection at 8.30pm and died at 11.45pm. She is coming home this evening. Think I will leave it a few days before I go over, it will be really hard as he is in the TA with my BIL so I have known him for longer than I have lived next to his mum. He is just so young, only a year older than my Chris, it just seems surreal :(

    MM, maybe put a note offering to fetch shopping etc through the door before your neighbour gets home. An open note, half folded, not in an envelope otherwise she'll probably think it's a card and might not be up to opening cards just yet. Are your front doors quite close? Maybe suggest she (or other family member) can just nip out and put a list back through your door so she/they don't have to get into conversation with anyone if they don't feel like it just yet :)

    The other neighbour and her are quite good friends, have been living beside each other for about 20 years, so she has a key and is getting a few bits together to put in the fridge before she gets in. Her other son is my age, so I will probably go over to talk to him more next week.
    Thanks guys :)

    MM, I hoovered with the help of the kids but packing away the shopping has done me in! :eek: I have no idea what to say to your neighbour, but I'm sure she will appreciate that your thinking of her and her family right now. Such a shame when it's so sudden and to someone who by the sounds of it, was very healthy.

    Caz, I don't work there, so I just expect my coffee and grub to be presesnted to me! My Mum would expect someone who is smart looking (little make up, hair tied back, neat nails, no polish), polite to customers, clever enough to write the order down correctly (and legibly), knows when to serve drinks (nothing worse than ordering a meal that does take a good 10mins to make and getting your drink straight away, you just drink it all), when to clear plates from tables, and when it's quiet will not stand and gossip or dither about, but will automatically start cleaning and tidying. We have one like like that and one who always needs a shove to get moving! The coffee machine you will be shown how it works, I wouldn't even attempt ours! Best of luck with it, the place looks lovely!

    Elle, you nutter! :rotfl:

    Just going to clear the table and let the kids paint for a while. Hopefully DH isn't working late tonight.

    tia give me some tips on someone you would want to work in your cafe lol! i have no experience with their coffee machines but am thinking of saying i would go in for a few hours to learn before i start if i was successful! just means i woulnt be on here quite as much though:o

    My bizziebaby thing came today but its a bra not a top!
    I was just gonna ask if you'd got your 'vest' Mine's a bit small, if I knew it was gonna be a bra I'd have prob asked for medium not small ;)
    I'm sure they'll train you up on the coffee gadget honey :) A good waitress is a nice friendly person just like you!

    oh I meant to ask those testing for bizzie baby, when did you get the questionnaire?
    they asked me to email them when the potty arrived which I did on friday, they haven't said anything about the feeding top but I haven't had any questions for either - should I be worried or do they come after you've had the product for a few days?
