Well I can't compete with that but I once walked into the gents in our local sports centre, full of guys lined up at the urinals - oops. Cool as you like, I went into a cubicle, came out, washed my hands as if it was the most common occurence :rotfl:.

I did this by choice - was running a race and the girls' is always too slow with long lines; so I went to the gents' - it was hilarios. They all stopped what they were doing and there was me saying "Please, continue, guys. I'll just go in the cubicle...and they did.". When I race we also go in the bushes and after mile 20 gender doen't matter.

My trainer always says that runners are very hard-core (he does triathlons).

Yet again falling behind but just wanted to say:

Cafcass went really well. Ex had sent them a real rant email - oh my what was he thinking. Anyhoo, trying now to get hold of solicitor and then getting ready for the court on 8/7.

Bit tired now after all that travelling but I have 25 minutes before I need to start working (at my desk already).

Love the stories about getting locked in and pardon the pun, feel greatly relieved as I am constantly getting locked in toilets/going into the wrong ones:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Claire: That scarf is beautiful - can't believe you were only learning knitting a couple of weeks ago.

I am not having the best of days today again. Better on the food front, but not great on the work front. I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that working at my present place is not good for my mental health. The only thing that is keeping me going at the moment is the thought of getting my business off the ground. I think the stress and horribleness is partly to do with the characters of the people I work with and partly to do with my own attitude. Postivity is a bit hard to come by at the moment. But I am trying hard.

So, looking ahead, I am going to spend tonight getting my laptop all secured and ready for what I want to do with it. I am loading on Office 2010 (purchased and going to be collected tonight on the way home), then I have some security software to implement as well, and then I am going to download the items necessary for teaching myself to programme in Java. This is going to take a long time to perfect, but having an interest to pursue on the sidelines has got to be a good idea. And every day I am learning about the programming is another day closer to liberating myself from bosses!

Have a good afternoon ladies and germs!

Robs mum, it isn't as hard as it looks

I also have been 'locked out' of a hotel room - in a little more than a teeny towel; summer PJ's (Pretty coral pink vest and shorts!). At a 5* hotel, 3 of us in a triple room, I awoke (in a rather drunken haze) needing a wee. Tip-toed to the bathroom, only to find one of the girls aleep in the bath. Not wanting to disturb her (she actually looked quite comfy) I decided to head to the toilets situated on each floor near the lifts..... why is it, it's not until you hear the 'click' of the door shutting / locking that you think about the key to get back in? Anyway,busting by now, I discovered the toilets were in fact the other side of the hotel, so was running! I met the cleaner in there who gave me the strangest look in the world. And to top it all, I had to knock on the door back at the room to be let in and wake thegirl in the bath up afterall!

Well, Im going to gate crash.. Hi to you all. Pickle suggested I take a look. The things that inspire me are the true stories of those who have achieved against the odds. I love the film In the Pursuit of Happiness which stars Will Smith as a guy called Chris Gardner who as a single parent didn't lose sight of his dream. A wonderful inspirational story and so makes you feel you can achieve anything you put your mind to.. Well, thats it. Best wishes everyone. Will follow from time to time if I may!. Take care
