    Oh forgot to add its a very sad day, my trusty old boots have come to the end of their life and need decluttering to the bin. I'm afraid after numerous reheels and a colour change wth a permanent marker (dont ask) they have finally worn through the leather on the toes. The £70 spent 22 years ago :eek: was well worth it. Strange that the new ones ordered with the paypal funds have been despatched today :rotfl:

    kaz thanks for your kind words, and I bought some new boots last week, for £200 and the insole came unstuck after 5 days! straight back they have gone.

    sexy hugs, lovely. I know you guys in primary work way way harder than us slackers in secondary, but can you, at lunchtime, go sit in your car/someone else's car/go for a walk/lock yourself in cupboard and ring the union.

    jilld bravo! for arranging your will, and keeping it updated.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    Hugs to everyone...seems to be some pains and lurgies around.

    Sexymouse, I know very little about the world of education and its differences from the nasty hard ar**ed world of contracting I work in but that is just intolerable in any industry. Feel free to PM me if I can help with legal side, but like I say I don't really understand how it works in public sector.

    I absolutely have to iron, but I simply cannot be bothered.

    One of my lovely colleagues has texted me to warn me the heating has failed and it is freezing at work. I am interviewing so need to combine professional with warm. Lots and lots of layers I think. Which means ironing. Yawns......

    erm - some of us match our pegs so that you don't have, say, a red and a blue peg on one item of clothing. Some of us (well me for one) only have one colour of peg...I do like things to look nice but I am[STRIKE] REALLY odd [/STRIKE] 'special' ;) because I like to iron and iron almost everything...

    Valli I love you, I really really do :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    I also Iron my duvets and pillowcases/valance sheets so there :p I admitted it out loud and would never dream of it any other way

    I do that with the pegs, I just shouted out loud THEY DO THAT WITH THE PEGS, THEY DO THAT WITH THE PEGS!!!! :T:T:T

    My DH calls me Monica (from Friends) because of my [STRIKE]weird [/STRIKE] "special" things I like to do like

    The pegs (Same as you special ladies) :rotfl:
    The cutlery (In the order of Knives, Forks Big Spoons, Wee Spoons):eek:
    The towels (Folded in a special way):eek:
    The Canisters (In the order of Coffee, Tea, Sugar):eek:
    CD's (In the order of the artist) although most of them are now in my ipod

    Sorry if so OT but I am so so happy (how [STRIKE]sad[/STRIKE] "special " am I)

    I really am sad aren't I :rolleyes:

    ETA: Is it possible I have OCD ????

    macpep I believe you are in very good company.

    Happily not me though :D

    I am a self confessed disorganised slob with no attention to detail whatsoever.

    and I am proud of it :p

    I do own some pegs - value wooden ones that are used to stop cereal from going soft.

    Just iron say the top 2 :p unless you think the heating will be fixed and you can face sweating like a maniac whilst interviewing with layers of clothes on, my goodness am panicking even thinking about that what is wrong with me why would I even suggest that when I would never do that myself :eek:
