    Belated birthday wishes Hypno - hope you had a lovely day xxxx

    It was a day much like any other...........the joys of getting older, being taxi to the kids, working :rotfl:

    One nice thing though was that my boss bought me a pressie - he actually went into a local deli himself, not asking anyone else to do it for him, and bought me some fancy jars of fruit in syrup, etc including some expensive honey "for my sore throat".......now considering that last year, I did most of his Christmas shopping for him, and he sends someone out to buy his lunch every day etc, I was quite honored that he had actually nipped out and bought me something, with some thought!!

    Awww that's really nice Hypno - it's funny how a present like that can actually mean more than something really expensive....saying that.....if anyone wants to buy me a nice expensive present I won't say no!!!! xx

    Aw, that's nice :). Though last year on my birthday my boss make a big bowl of potato salad using home grown potatoes and brought it in for everyone with a great big salad platter as well. (This year was even better, he took the week off :rotfl:)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Laptop is still dead.......maybe tomorrow will bring better things.

    Today I got a total of £38 bingo money through, so paid that off the 0% card......and did a mystery shop at lunchtime, which I must remember to input tonight. I've got another sixth form to go to tonight with DD, so another one of those rush about evenings :rolleyes:

    Hope you have all had a good day x
