    Don't you just hate it when some uses 'we' when actually they mean 'you'. As in 'What are we doing about this'

    hello lovely people, it's Tuesday already :D

    Stressy knickers morning boss is back. I'd been back over half an hour before someone said 'and you know about BB don't you' and she said 'yes............well done' through gritted teeth :D I start new job (well going into my afternoon department full time!) next Monday. All day in the loft awaits - party time ;)

    Suzy - I wouldn't think that a car being SORN would affect how hard it is to sell it. Many cars bought at a garage don't have tax, but it will be the lack of MOT that might be the stumbling block as it's buying a bit blind if you get what I mean - is it worth putting it through its MOT? Will it pass?

    Flippin' freezing and have moved upstairs at work and I've got the electric heater on now :D
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    Thanks B.

    He is limping and finding it v painful to walk on - like a dog with a hurt paw ;) What we are worried about is the weeks it will take to heal and the risk of infections during that time.

    'grats Elfen.

    I've ordered new gas struts for my boot - as it was in danger of falling back down on my head when I opened it :( Should arrive tomorrow so today's mission is to hoover the car, a bit more housework and go to the bank.

    Oh, and decide if I'm going to apply for a career development loan.

    Ah Katsu, that's pants. I hope he heals ok-don't feel bad, these things happen. I broke a measuring jug on the weekend and did almost the exact same thing-to myself though...

    Buffy-((hugs)) babe. We are here for you xxx

    Luc-Yes, indeed I DO hate that!

    Welcome new people! How nice to see so many new faces...well, new avatars...and new typing...You know what I mean.

    Lou-hope your friend's son is ok! It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye-or cracks their heads as the case may be!

    Hi ya BB! How exciting! New Job! :D

    I have seen to Cambridge clients today. It would be great if I have 2 every day...SOON I will!

    Elfen-good luck!

    Butti-as the insurance industry is regulated by the FSA, the calls HAVE to be recorded! Well done on an excellent result. :)
