  • Perhaps the lady boss stealing your pen was her way of getting you into her office up close and personal in order to admire your newly toned physique? I think she's testing you. I say steal it back. You NEED that pen....;)

    P.s., well done on the downward trajectory on so many fronts. Who said men can't multi task? :A

    Wow, what a lot of scary running people! You're all very impressive. ;) I can just about break into a trot if the smell of chocolate is strong enough.
    Northern Lassy, what a horrible week you've had! I hope there's some good news? How is your Nan, and what happened about your husband's job? And did you get the bill sorted? Too many things all at once. :(

    Pen was found this afternoon in my office desk drawer. Taking no chances, I have brought the little terror home and it's currently jauntily perched atop the keyboard. Not having any more of this malarky. Had a totally trouble-free day. Those sound like famous last words....

    Hello Miggy :j Thanks for asking after me xx Nan still poorly but being well looked after in hospital ... hubby will know by Xmas about job (Bae Systems meltdown)... big bill disappeared as it was next years site fees for our caravan which has finally sold (woohoo!) ... It could all be a lot worse so I am counting my blessings today.

    Chips and Lambrini for tea ... pure class ... I love Friday nights :beer:

    a pen atop a keyboard-it smacks of modernisum. the end is nigh for the written word!

    You can tell i am on the wine! i do envy you lot with your saturdays of rest. i have 8 hours of teaching tomorrow which 'flatens' me! can you imagine entertaining 80 children between the age of 6 and 13 when your balding and 48!---i do wish i could get back to the tread mill like Mr B but i feel so 'knackered' in life!-i am sure Mr b's running energizes him but i need to schedule things better!-i am not an early riser!
    mfw'11 No68- 55k mortgage İO--little to nothing saved! i must do better.

    Lots of 'get well' wishes heading to your Nan from me then. :)

    Not nice to have redundancy possibly hanging over you. We are probably going to be in the same boat next year but we've been there before and survived. It sort of makes it worse when it's hanging over Christmas though, doesn't it?

    Yay to selling the caravan and ditching the site fees! The money will pay for a few chips and Lambrinis :D. Oh dear, now I feel hungry and I can still taste dinner! Chips have to be near the top of my list of favourite foods... even after I've eaten spiced bread pudding and custard!
