I have not contributed to this thread before but I've read it from the beginning.

I just want to add my name to the growing list of people who are rooting for you, and send some virtual support from my own building site* in sunny Hampshire.

Onwards and upwards!

* My building site is not a patch on yours but I do have a crazy-paving ceiling in the dining room...

Coo, thanks surbybird! You are most welcome.

Bit concerned about your ceiling though!

Reaching critical mass at which point we mass e-mail DIY-SOS...

Hmmm... my ceiling is pretty special. Sometimes bits drop down though! Having guests round to eat always puts me in mind of that scene in 'Carry On Up The Khyber' where they are sitting down to dinner and there's fighting going on outside and bits of plaster and stone are dropping down onto the table and into the soup while they are eating...

:rotfl:

I might just leave it as it is a say it is a design feature. You wait - it'll be a key trend this year on all the home improvement shows on television.

You really don't want to know about the state of the walls though!

:eek:

Hi Mike, just popped in quick before skipping over to PPI forum (I'm getting in a right muddle!! ....Nothing new in that though:rotfl:

Feeling better about the work today? Hope so...your confidence will be back before you know it. Don't hide your good news from your group sessions (when you're badly depressed, it feels as though it will never end & life will never be any better, your change around within the last couple of months will help them see life can get better...some hope that it will for them too) Besides, I didn't think you were supposed to pi55 on your own chips!!:rotfl:...

Will chat again later:)

Quick hiya to surbybird....yhaaay, another Hampshire Hog!! (like me!!!)

Saxy...Hope you finished your paper!

Welcome back Niccatwa!

Where's redlady-1 and spierso lately??? Toooo Quiet without everyone!

Hi SouthernBellE*

Ooh... is that what we are called? Hampshire Hogs? I think Hampshire Honeys might be more fitting for us girls somehow...

Indeed quite new to Hampshire (arrived here from Surrey last April) and have not heard of Hampshire Hogs until today.

The neighbours aren't particularly impressed by the sight of me up a ladder fixing my house while wearing high heels though. They think I am a bit odd, frankly. Whereas I thought everyone wore Jimmy Choos when painting window ledges.

(apologies to Mike for hijacking his dodgy builder thread with talk of Jimmy Choos!)

niccatw

Surbybird, I'm sure Mike has a fine collection of Jimmy Choos. It's just finding the best place to show them off what with the pet 'gator in the loo wanting to steal them. And sometimes his socks clash... I'm sure there's loads you can teach him!

Saxy - you better have finished that essay young lady! if not I'll be confiscating PW and Jack!

Well, last night I went to see Frankie Boyle... and he made me laugh (sorry - I know he's not every-one's cup of tea and certainly nothing is sacred where he's concerned!) but not quite as much as catching up on the shenanigans over the last few days! I so want a spotty wheelbarrow!

That's very poetic. And I still know what you mean. I've just been opening documents and slideshows I've been sent to bring myself up to speed about a big drugs company so I can write some stuff. Both jobs involved drugs - I just noticed! Another coincidence... And I'm stoned! That's another*.

I'll probably get up early and start creating a document map and some templates. Then I'll look up and it will be lunchtime! It's how I normally tackle things which scare me. Do a huge amount upfront to the exclusion of everything else. Then I feel I know more what's involved.

Really, really surprised I've got this wobbly.


* I'm not but why let that ruin a gag?

Crikey Mike! Can you teach me how to do this when I run scared! I imagine it works much better than my usual procrastination technique!

lol the people on this thread don't scare easy I wouldn't worry too much!!

don't think its a case of learning much that i didn't know - just putting in a more formal context i guess - its all a bit de motivating really cos i've just realised its a pass or fail course - simple as - which is good in a way but doesn't give u much to aim for as there's no difference if I get 41 or 99 - i just pass!
*sigh* my prob is i can't motivate myself until i have no choice - as in until about 2 in the morning before the due date..............
wheres WOW? he's meant to be giving me kick up the backside lol!

This is definitely more my style! And I've still not learned over the years! Mind you, I always was a slow learner. Apparently it's because I'm a Taureen! Dunno how that works!

Have a great day. Don't worry about me sitting here quaking and staring at a blank screen! I'll be fine!

That screen better not still be blank Mike! Or you're gonna have me to answer too .

I had an English teacher at school that always told us to imagine the blank page screaming out at us to be filled... trouble is he never told us what the page was screaming out. My stories were always quite dark and sinsister. I must have had more aggressive blank pages than the other pupils!
