    And *that* reply is why you *should* start your own diary.

    Then Wol got the attack from her client:

    Sounds like someone who continually expresses disappointment as a spur to goad people to do more for them.

    It's an emotional tarpit - walk away when you are able.

    You're right, Z, there's emotional gameplaying going on there. What a !!!!!!, absolutely.

    their loss!!! dont lose sleep over their short sightedness....!!!!!!!!

    edit agree with ztd

    Their loss, exactly. But Wol, they're trying to dump it on you - go hit a cushion, your mattress, anything soft that can't hit back. Possibly the wine will have helped by now :D

    BTW - the top totty *does* look like the younger version of David Essex, and as a fan (ex-fan - my heart still belongs to Michael Shanks, even tho he's put on weight and gained a beard) my word goes! *Really* looking forward to his publicity pics!

    Well you can tell the chap is an electrician by his hair - he looks as though he has put his fingers into sockets far too often. He also needs a shave - designer stubble is so passe.

    Walk away from your client - if he goes under, he goes under and is not your responsibility. He is the type of person who shouldn't be in business in the first place and quite frankly deserves to go bust - the whole idea of being in business is to go and find work and not hope that it falls into your lap like a plum from a tree:rolleyes: People like him make me sick - if he worked for me he would be kicked out - here's your P45 matey now do one:rotfl:

    Wasps - Numpty needs to kill the queen otherwise the wasps will keep coming back (the queen is the big f*cker that is about twice to three times the size of the others). He should still cover up too because wasps go into attack mode when they are disturbed:eek:

    Well I was quite surprised at how badly I felt about what client said yesterday.....in the old days pre-flood I would have just shrugged it off and got on with something else. I DID however resort to a bit of troll bashing late last night on BR board (ironing of Numptys trolleys was mentioned somewhere I think :rotfl:)

    Head hurt this morning El :o:o.....And I really can;t face doing any client work today. :o Good advice Horace and know what you mean...I've done my job now I should just raise the invoice and move on:cool:...Have decided to attack Mount Killimanjironing this afternoon.....[STRIKE]and pretend someone's face is beneath the iron[/STRIKE] :D:rotfl:.....

    Thanx for the PM Shaun :kisses3:

    Will search out a nice piccie of said totty with short(er) hair for later;)

    I know what you mean, Wol - when you're living with such a huge level of stress, one more thing, that seems nothing on its own, can really send you over the top.

    Enjoy the ironing - it will be more fun if you can imagine !!!!!!'s face imprinted on the surface of your iron. As for ironing Numpty's trollies then don't - trollies don't need ironing:rolleyes:

    I have now received a letter from my accountant that I can send with the silly form for the council - oh they are such nincompoops..sigh.

    Anyway I am looking forward to more totty pics (along with Karmacat:D), truth be known this new chappie is better looking than David Essex and he can screw in my lightbulbs any day of the week:rotfl:

    Hey ho...large basket of ironing duly done (while poor Numpty was melting digging the garden :A:A). Early night tonight as I'm feeling very tired after the excesses of the night before :o...and Numpty is clearly knackered from all that spadework :rotfl:Still, it looks like he's finally got the hang of pest control :T:rotfl:


    We're in for a scorcher (30degC) tomorrow :eek: (personally I'd have preferred to have me shorts on and paint the new garage tomorrow but Numpty is insistent he will be carrying on with the digging :cool:) so will make sure Numpty drinks loads of fluids :D


    Patio half way through being laid ....and talking of which...:whistle::whistle::whistle:....here are a couple of the promised publicity stills.....

    M00104115-0107.jpgM00104115-0102.jpg

    Poor chap was saying to me the other day he never gets the lead ......always asked to play the "character" roles......who are normally the local psychopaths..:eek:..(I suppose that's probably why he doesn;t bother to cut his hair that often :rotfl:)

    Enjoy.......sorry - cant get them any larger gals

    Nitey nite
    xxxx

    Edit: Think this one's a bit better
