    The one I worked in had push down keys....I just didn't want anyone to realise I was THAT old....

    white wine spritzers hadn't been invented in my day though.....

    Snakebite was the drink of choice in the pub I worked in...

    I managed to submit my dissertation :) They had moved the admin dept that accepts them, but had not notified any of us poor students (uni email system not working properly apparently) so I arrived at 16.08 for a 16.00 deadline! They even now have to go to a different admin person so I had a crazy 5 mins finding where to hand it in.

    I got home to find an email from my tutor responding to an email I sent him about 3 weeks ago - he wanted me to make some changes but a bit late now! I'll email him tomorrow to explain I already handed it in!

    I need to do another thing - record of CPD and some reflections on learning (I think 1.5k words) due on 22 Jan. Would be good if I could do it tomorrow. We'll see. I fancy taking old junk to the tip and buying a new calendar.

    just eaten pizza for tea to celebrate - Aldi has fantastic cheap pizza, spent less than £4 on two tasty pizzas, would have spent over £20 at dominos :money:

    Now am curled up on sofa contemplating a trip to make tea and get a yoghurt for a treat. Life of excitement here :rolleyes:
