    morning and thank you for all of the virtual hugs, they were very comforting and I still haven't strangled my secretary, which is a bonus I suppose, but just for her.

    Better weather this morning but distinctly autumnal, bright and a bit chilly, is it just me or does the light change at this time of year???

    Didn't manage one yesterday as needed liquid gold and succumbed to a bottle of expensive water. But never spent anything else so not too bad I suppose.

    May be one to-day, will try hard, a bit of redistribution of hugs to those who need them, nearly there but not quite yet.

    Hi dopey
    Virtual hugs are just what we need sometimes and the fact that someone appears to listen to what we're saying - that goes a long way.

    Hope you're OK today, your secretary sounds a right pain in the bum and can't be helping really:(

    Take care
    ((((hugs))))

    Good afternoon all x


    Brilliant idea, if, we've got an NSD cow (not sure who's got Daisy at the moment), how about an NSD butler as well.

    Who's first?:D:D

    Think I'll bring Jeeves to Jinty's shed party, he could serve the drinks!!:D

    Loo, I'm sure your bosses wouldn't want to strangle you!!:D:p

    As Spoon and Dopey say you can never have enough hugs in a day so sending 'all' a group hug 1sm100grouphug.gif

    I'm sure they do!! I've been in my job a long time and can be a bit "chippy". For example a couple of guys from one of our overseas offices are coming over so sent an email to the Gents and Lady to go out to dinner - There are acutally 4 girls/ladies that sit on our side so obv me and the other two ladies were not invited!! Nice - so I made a few comments THEN one of the guys asked me a) to book the table (I said you are having a laugh!) and then b) asked me to look into getting the guy who sent the invite over a Iphone - I said yeah sure tell him to go to the Apple Shop - I'll print out the address :rotfl::rotfl:

    Hello.

    I've managed 21 NSDs so far this month, but because I didn't register, I suppose they don't count. :(

    I have been totally trapped in by roadworks, and I can't get out anyway. So I go to Tesco once a week at midnight to stock up. Which leads me to a technical question. If you put some of your shopping in your trolley at five to midnight with the definite intention of paying for it, and the rest after midnight, whereupon you go through the till, that counts as one NSD, not none surely.

    I could have Meals on Wheels I suppose but I'm far too young to qualify (23 next week) - that's my internet age BTW, I use it to entice unsuspecting young ladies. I'm actually a lot older.

    Why do I have this urge to go to Venice all of a sudden?
