    Our hero (the tax inspector) gives his object of desire (a baker whose accounts he has just audited) flours. So, no then? My favourite film just about.

    Did you lot know I was thinking about you today? Is that what all this chat chat is about???:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    My sister reckons that we show up on the home challenge weekly at least - you did tick the box for royalty payments didn't you Mike :D

    Down to 14 working days left to go and trying to work out why I am still rushed off my feet each day. The three people that are going to be left keep telling me they will not be able to cope once I am gone. So not my problem!

    Have just started job hunting but don't want to rush in to it as I would rather make sure I get my puppy settled in first :D

    Is the cat still visiting Mike??????

    Before I stop rambling can I just say a HUGE well done to our Nicca? She did a marathon walk through the streets of Glasgow on Saturday, starting at 7.30 in the evening, and seems to have managed to get home about 12 hours later having raised almost £500 for charity. Well done that girl :T:j:T:j:T:j:T:j:T:j:T:j:T:j:T:j

    "I would rather make sure I get my puppy settled in first" is this some sort of euphemism?

    Cat still visits. LOVES Sam! Animals usually do.

    Nice one, Nicca!

    Good attitude on the job front... they'll come crawling back :D

    Euphemism for what?????

    Why oh why do cats and dogs always love the ones with asthma who really should stay away. And, if gorgeous Sam is anything like my gorgeous niece, he will love them just as much as they love him. Even when she is wheezing, using an inhaler, and has eyes red and streaming :eek:

    Puppy will be the non moulting sort, does that help any?

    Not sure I want them to come crawling back, well not for at least 3 months after they have paid me lots of lovely, jubbly, money as my very handsome redundancy payment which is going to pay for the puppy :D And, if they do, they will have to pay me a helluva lot more than they do now as I would need to pay for Doggy Day Care :D:D:D

    Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike,

    Do you think I could possibly be cheeky and post a linky?

    No? Oh well too late :p

    I'm sure most of you have worked out that there’s something going on with me at the moment. Anyway, I'm on a bit of a fund raising drive. All is explained on my begging site http://www.gofundme.com/dannni

    Its probably naughty posting that, so if a board guide sees it, feel free to remove

    I have no problem with the link but I think MSE may have rules. Maybe someone can advise before we get shut down?

    Really sorry to hear that things are going so badly at the moment. It must be very difficult to stay motivated.

    None of us knows what's around the corner, so hang in there. Clouds always lift given time.

    Link not working catflea, sorry. :( I got a pic of Martin Lewis and a message that 'this page doesn't exist'. So, I have been somewhere that doesn't exist. That was clever.

    Nicca, well done!

    ETA - now working! How did you manage that?! :)

  • Maty what came of the job that you had an interview for previously? The one where you could take puppy with you?

    Well done Nicca!!

  • Catflea... slightly random but sometimes they have IPL on groupon so might be worth a look, I had one in my local area a couple of weeks ago which was £130 for 6 sessions! Still a bit of money but it would reduce the overall cost a bit. Sorry I've posted it on here, just couldn't see how to say it on your website.
