School not to good , to be honest I think I bolloxed the test up:o

Meant to do a newsletter type thing and then answer some questions within 1 hour
Part 1 the newsletter should have taken 45 mins
it took 57mins, and didn't do all the things needed:o
The questions should have taken 15 mins (multiple choice) I did them in 4 mins:rotfl:
lots of guess work
I'll findout in a few weeks how I've done:cool:

Fingers crossed it's gone better than you think, Numpty, hope so
Off for a wander to see what I've missed today while I haven't been here:)
Back later

Nargleblast

Evening all, back after two busy night shifts.

Kiwi fruit cheesecake, Nic - I think, maybe just keep kiwi fruit slices for the topping. Kiwis go well with strawberries, pineapple, lemon, orange, lime - perhaps use one of those for the cheesecake flavouring and put your sliced kiwis on the top (removing the feathers first though!)
Actually, a white chocolate and ginger cheesecake with a kiwi fruit topping sounds like it could work as well.

Chocolate - the film Chocolat is worth a see, but I preferred the book as you could almost taste the chocolate whilst you were reading it. Love milk chocolate, plain I can live with, white chocolate nice in small quantities.

Numpty - I am sure if you totally bowlocksed the test, they would take the rest of your work into consideration when awarding final marks.

Horace - obviously the superglue, gaffer tape and chewing gum did the trick with the suitcase, very MSE! You can keep your nasty foreign lurgies to yourself, though, we have enough of the home grown variety doing the rounds at the moment without importing them from abroad.

Aye oop to everyone else, catch y'all later.

Thanks peeps

I'm not to bothered about the passing this one, I can redo it again when I find out,
I am a bit piggged off, the way they've gone about it,
It's hard to explain, but you do the 3 parts, Word,Excel,Powerpoint
and everyone who did the part 4 today, got their weakest subject:o
and you need to get part 4 pass mark to get the certificate
the other parts are worthless:mad:

Anyway with finishing early today , Ive managed to a full days clicking in:D
and a few surveys done:money:

If the other parts are worthless, Numoty, what the hell was the point in doing them? Sounds like typical bureaucratic red tape nonsense designed to keep people in work doing none-jobs like running courses that end up being useless in the real world - all very nice being able to do a Powerpoint presentation but not much use if you were stranded on a desert island! Where are the courses providing real usable skills for real jobs? Like the apprenticeships people had years ago? (Think I'd better get off my soapbox, I can feel a Grumpy Old Woman rant coming on....)

Amen to that sister:D

In other news I got my gas bill today:eek:
I now alledgely owe £532.22
according to their bill, I've used £381.99 worth of gas in 3 months, in a 1 bedroom flat, that has had heating on for an average of 2 hours a day:cool:
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I cocked up with the original meter reading
and they should have got the info, from previous supplier, but they haven't yet;)
There is a "dispute" logged on the account so I shouldn't have got this bill:rotfl:

That poor spider was probably more frightened of you than you were of it, nicca. They come inside to get warm during the winter, poor little thing thought it had found a nice warm home until you moved the mug and nearly gave it third-degree burns.

As you might have gathered, spiders don't bother me in the least - moths though:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Numpty - how was school today?

They normally don't bother me - if I can see what they're up to and they're not scurrrying about all ovet the place. Hiding in my mug is not allowed though!

Shudder. Was it dead or alive nicca? If it were me mug would be in the wheelie bin (not very MSE I know)

It was alive. The mug is still upside down in the sink until I decide it's future . Had to deafen spider out of mug by turning mug upside down and hitting it off side of sink. Spider is now down the drain.

Numpty, I don't think Spoon will be happy with your advice . Though it has just occurred to me that a few of my friends might refuse to come over on Saturday now they know the pesky little beggar has been on the loose!
