  • Oh my God! I've been following this all the way through and forgot about the chocolate beetroot cake - 3 words that represent 3 of the finest foodstuffs on Earth!

    Please can someone post the link again?

    Ta!

    As for you OM, what a star you are! Brilliant news on how you stood up to Cruella! :T :T I think you handled it brilliant - you're a little star aren't you?! :cool: :j :beer:

    Another one who would buy a book if there was one going.......and of course, congratulations on nailing those unsecured debts - you go girl! :T

    What you up to this weekend (apart from getting rid of the OH of course :A :D )

    And I said

    'no, no. no..............'

    I'm going to make another chocolate and beetroot cake tomorrow as I still have lots of beetroot left from last weeks veggie box - it will be my celebration cake........

    Might take my new girl racer sexy red Honda out and do a few do-nuts and hand brake turns to mark my new confident status..........okay, maybe not!

    Wonder what my OH will say.......instinct says he will !!!! on my parade......but I'd like to think I'd be wrong with something so important.....

    Not sure what I would write a book about!! Not sure I could do fiction, but some kind of diary maybe!

    I think the book is in this thread, as a lifestyle observational sort of thing.

  • Fantastic news and well done for standing your ground!!!

    That's one in the eye for your horrible boss. Are you still keeping the diary of her behaviours?

    Sod what your OH thinks - did he wish you good luck this morning?

    Excellent. Good news all round. Time to dust off old plans then. You could find an alternative job - say to them you have a 3 month notice period, then tell your employers to stuff your trial...

    If you can do doughtnuts in a front-wheel drive automatic - I'll be *WELL* impressed... ;)

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    OM - Well done........ i wonder did you do the writing a number one in the air as you left, saying 'one nil', or was it a simple punch with your arm in the air to the midriff accompanied by a 'get in there' .........:T

    some people (who happen to line managers (bad ones)), sometimes just cannot help shooting themselves in the foot/feet.........................
    smile --- it makes people wonder what you are up to.... ;) :cool:
  • OM,
    I'll be completeely frank-I didn't understand your meeting BUT I trust your judgement that it went well (lol) was far to intelligent for my lil' ol' brain...
