    Work have arranged a team building session which is drinking shots and starting in the afternoon. Don't think so and I'm crossing my name off the list tomorrow. I don't need to build my relationships there and I'm not spending all day sunday with a massive hangover!

    Have a good day everyone - I'll be revising mostly or at least thinking about it for a massive exam this week

    confused-smiley-013.gif What!!!! That is just soooo wrong :(

    Totally agree. I'm no killjoy but to assume that everyone would want to be part of a glorified drinking game is highly irresponsible!

    Good luck with your exam sparkles.
    Hi Mari, sorry to hear times are tough in RL.
    DM

    :grouphug: but 4AF is better than none at all mari, and we've all been there. Just do your best and keep in touch.

    Lovely to see confused-smiley-013.gif, I miss him so much!;)

    Have a great day everyone. I'm off to do a bit of shopping and a gallery and then a good (late) lunch. Despite feeling miserable last night, the unhungover feeling is good.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Morning All!!

    Just caught up on 2 days worth of posts. Well done to everyone for doing so well!! :D

    Lala - Good luck for the interview today.

    Mari - Sorry to hear you're having a hard time in RL Sending you hugs:grouphug:

    Nothing new to report in the Rainman household unfortunately. I officially hate my bank. They have left me with ZERO funds all because they didn't do things within the dates they said. Think I'll be having a little (long) rant in my DFW diary in a minute.

    Anyway me and hubby are ok this morning :) and Im looking forward to a good week! picking my nephew up from school today :j( He s 5 and when I ask him how old I am he says 12 ... I can live with that:rotfl:) So I will be playing lots of star wars characters later!! Im usually the ones who get shot, light sabered or death gripped :T.
