    Hi All :wave:

    I'm not a Scot either :D I'm in Wirral, still not that close to anyone though :rolleyes:

    Oh my CC ~ thats horrible :( I got yelled at by a client on the phone last week and felt awful all day. I can't imagine it from a colleague. I'm sure they feel lousy about it now ~ well they should do! I hope you're ok xx

    Couttsy ~ unfortunate about the house issues :( I work for a mortgage brokers and we see a lot of house purchases falling through. Sometimes its just not meant to be and theres always something nicer and more suitable out there :) good luck!

    Hugs
    Philippa xx

    Well hello :D

    Not been here since 2nd of Jan :o. Basicly my mood has been down, done so much work the past few weeks that i drove myself in to the ground basicly. Carpol tunnel syndrome dont help either.

    Anyway, pain is starting to subside in ma wrist, and im starting the climb up the mountain :D

    Thought that i should post a couple of my latest shots here for ya all

    Forth Bridge (framed)

    Forth Road Bridge

    I should have framed the forth road bridge but i couldnt be bothered lol as i had just shut down photoshop lol.

    For those who don't know; The forth bridge, the one that the trains use, is not called the forth rail bridge, and infact, is just called "the bridge". Alot of people call it the rail bridge but before construction of the road bridge, there was no other bridge crossing the forth, so it was just "the bridge" :p

    free history lesson over :p lol

    Beautiful pictures Mc xxx

    Well.... parents have accepted an offer on their house and they have had their offer on the bungalow they want accepted so looks like i'm on the move AGAIN!!!!

    Still not sure whether i am happy for them or gutted for me. Bit of both i think.

    Could be as quick as 8-12 weeks as there is no chain on either sides.

    Forgot to say.. its payday today! hurrah. debt is going down nice and speedy

    MC those pictures are beautiful, can I be really cheeky and print them out because I am teaching bridges next term and they would be great for the children to look at?!
    How is everyone??? I am so sorry I have lost touch with you all I feel really guilty. I had a mega accident. Was putting up display at the end of term stood on a table (as you do - teachers will understand) I was rushing because I was fed up and wanted to go home.Well I stretched up too far and fell off the end landing on one of the plastic chairs which flipped and sent me into the window and a metal pillar. ILuckily the glass did not break nor did any of my bones as I was the only teacher left and the caretaker would not have found me for another hour until he locked up. If that isn't fate/lucky stars/angels etc..... anyway I can only just climb the stairs and sit at the computer again but am in too much pain to read through all the entries now so will catch up over the weekend.
    love to all wb xx

  • Hello All,

    Did you all have good weekends?

    Think mine went ok, but will only know later on tonight - lol, its confusing. But the weekend was good, maybe the consequences not so :-(.

    Flying away from home tomorrow to do some work for the week and really can't be bothered with it. Going to be a lot of early starts and long days.

    Right must get in a chipper mood, guess must have Monday morning blues!
    D'Oh!

    Hello! Hope nobody minds me butting in, i usually hang around in the freebies/bargains kind of bits on the boards but decided to have a better look around the site as im not feeling too well today and had the morning off work. But anyway, i havent been able to read every page (118 pages may make my eyes hurt lol) but i also have been feeling a bit lonely lately. Ive posted on another discussion board site about this. I would love to make some new friends, its just difficult to do this. Online i worry who is genuine and i dont want to seem desperate or anything.

  • Hi All,

    Mclaren, those photos are fab. wow, i wish I had a talent like that.

    Sorry to hear of your accident wb- sounds like you did have someone/something looking over you that day!

    Hi Keelykat, sure no one minds you butting in, I have done since about 5 pages ago :p I'm just on this board to generally chat to people, I share some of the same concerns as you about the whole internet thing but everyone here seems lovely. If you ever fancy a chat, PM me. Are you another Scot or are we taking the count of those pass the border to four?

    No real news here, as messy said, same crap different day! got a week off work at the end of March so am willing time away as fast as I can!!!!:beer:
    Very excited to be marrying my partner in crime for the last 7 years in September 2012 :j
