    Shall I let him in,but not tell him where the meter is? Just let him hunt around till he gives up and asks me where it is..then I'll take great delight in saying we don't have one and watching his exasperation??"Well,I tried to tell you,but you insisted I was wrong !"

    Reminds me of the time during a power cut when EDF spent 2 hours burrowing in the undergrowth in the garden looking for an electricity substation that (I told them) they had removed 8 years earlier...they didn't believe me as it was still marked as being there on their maps,so it must be here somewhere........oh, it isn't..

    Reminds me of the story about a conservatory company insisting that they had a fantastic promotion, and no property was too difficult for them. Eventually the owner let them come round to measure up.

    Sixth floor flat anyone?

    To go with what I take already, I have another anti-depressant, as my depression and anxiety are getting worse. I had to take a diazepam to stop a panic attack, and hid in the loos.

    Other than that was he/she ok?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

  • Evening all,

    Is it wrong to nod off whilst at work?

    My nose is bright red and I can't stop sneezing. I think an early night's in order.

    Germ free hugs to you all,:rotfl:

    Do love Pint sometimes. I'm not going to cook tonight, and I don't like phoning people I don't know, so he phoned up the Chinese and ordered me some dinner, and managed to get the delivery charge taken off :)
