Well done on posting Allie - I was on that thread, posted just before you - and after

Just 'cause he is not using your suggestion doesn't mean it was not good advice - someone else reading that thread later might well think "what a good idea - that will help me" - and Bob's your uncle, your advice has paid off ....................you haven't got an uncle bob have you?

Hi 3 Dogs & Allie, I have found an outlet on here, since going into domestic service, Cos thats what it is, you need to blow off to ordinary people and half of the world just won't believe you! I got into this game because it was one way of avioding being homeless. Yes it can happen to anyone, it only takes one bad descision. When we were opp north with the hoorays, at least we had a village pub. One half of the village were like the Hoorays, and the other was normal. You could go in at night and someone would say heard about it, here have a pint. So that wasnt so bad.

Believe me a may moan but the Hoorays arnt the worst, when we lived really up north. The Old Laird made Monarch of the Glen seem like a reality show. We were paying the estate £500 a month for our cottage (but what a cottage) and they were paying Mrs Handy and myself 350 a month for doing 60 hour weeks. I there I was Gardener, Groom, Handyman, Maechanic, River warden, Ghillie, Booking Clerk, Etc. We were offered a job on Lord Vesseys estate after the previos Incumbant (handyman) died on the job. (I should be so lucky).

The house was 20 miles from the nearest road, 60 miles from the nearest shop, doctor, and school. And you had to supply you own 4X4 and Tools. The pay was minimum wage plus accomodation and you could generate your own electricity for 8 hours a day. The estate agent couldnt understand why we turned it down!

Cheers, handyman123.

This may have been suggested before, but i think you should write a book about it! It would be a brilliant read :j:j:j

Handyman, Repeat after me
I will never complain about my job again!
I will never complain about my job again!
I will never complain about my job again!

Thanks m'dear, I hadn't thought that it could have helped someone else as well as the OP, and i should really know that since I've spent the best part of 6 months reading threads and shoving everyone's suggestions and advice into my brain cells!!!

(Sorry no uncle bob here, though i always thought it would be amusing to have one for that very reason!)

ohh...i've just learned how to do small writing and colours -big tick next to that item on my to-do list! tee hee!

My job is fabulous in comparison to that picture Handy, might print that pic out and put it up at my desk for inspiration!

Hi iwannabeloved and welcome to the madhouse that is the troll thread.

Numpty's right - it's his fault I ended up being called "spoon"...
I think you're going to be Wayne from now on :rotfl::rotfl:..

Actually, how about "wannabee" - after the Spice Girls:rotfl::rotfl:...

*spoon exits the troll thread very quickly followed by a shoe throw by iwannabeloved*

What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


Kind wishes
