    I'll get the cleaner to do it :o.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Hello again Froggy,
    The coach holiday company I use most often doesn't operate from the South East but this one does - there are also self-drive deals. I have used them and definitely would again - if you read Trip Advisor, bear in mind that some people are never satisfied!

    Well, meal out last night was "interesting".. As soon as got there, there was a massive power cut.. Cue, trying to find another place to eat, but town was full.. Candlelit dinner for 20 was interesting, new experience and all that.. My starter was an animal, but still don't know what it was :eek: Somebody suggested it was roadkill.. Can't be worse than horse lasagna :rotfl:

    I have been listening to 80's music all morning whilst working.. It makes the day so much better.. I have been asked 4 times what's wrong with the grin on my face..ah ah :rotfl:it's friday, I am seeing great people tomorrow..sun is shining.. 3H30 of work to go!

    Heard that Elvis has been in a fight lately.. Small cut on his chin.. No need to go to the vet though, just needs monitoring.. Will need to have a word with tomorrow morning to get the whole story..:D

    Froggy :p

    Moving on.. I am off out tonight for a free dinner in town paid by the bosses as a thank you for the hard work over year end.. It feels nice to be rewarded and recognised.. On a similar point, I have received my letter confirming my annual bonus and pay rise.. They are both higher than I thought and will help greatly in covering the upcoming expenses (car tax/MOT/Service, 2 new tyres and 2 trips to France).. Unfortunately I don't think there will be enough to treat myself..

    I should be grateful for any bonus.

    Well done froggy you completely deserve it. As for the tricking and lying, at least you sussed it early on?
