Why hello again and thanks for the cuppa .

Having read the whole of yourmost excellent chocolate coated diary (I've started on yours now Freebyfifty so no need to get jealous ). I have a couple of questions.....

Is ZTD a cunning crossword compiler and what would you call your guinea pig????

Lordy, you read all of that?!

You'll have to ask Zeddy about his crossword prowess (the mind boggles), and my guineapig would be called Socrates...or Burt...or possibly Ronald....*suspects she shouldn't be allowed to name innocent animals*

Oh Nora this did make me chuckle.

I know the feeling as I do this sometimes but what makes it very bad is that I work in finance:rotfl:

*blushes* I was working on a very big departmental budget at the time....thankfully for me, my calculator was confiscated by the finance team later than morning! :rotfl:

OH dear, it really is easy once you get through the initial terror*, and it does make you loads of money!

*The initial terror never actually goes away....:eek: And you can end up betting thousands of ££££ a day.....but you do get used to it, and there are very very easy pickings in the early days.

It's like that clean crochet hook has been turned to the 'hook people, not chocolate setting'....run, dear reader, run!!

A little place in heaven opened up for me as I avoided putting a joke into the original question... :A

Could be worse. Could be called "GeePee".

It's doesen't hurt to check your answers. I still remember when Excel didn't calculate correctly.

Excel still doesn't round things the way other programs or people do. Caused a lot of very clever people a lot of head-scratching at my place til we untangled that one.

Thankfully our finance bods know that I only really understand pot of money/ money spent out of it and tell me this while doing all the timing arrangements and complications themselves

It rounds halfs upwards and not to the nearest even - is that what you mean?

Yep, I let other people deal with the finances too.

It probably means they hate me, but that's just the way it goes...

.............Ok, I came in mid-conversation (that's what i get for taking a few days to myself)...... and i come back to a guinea pig named Socrates...... I have a vision (it must be lack of [STRIKE]food[/STRIKE], [STRIKE]wine[/STRIKE], chocolate) of a talking guinea pig in a toga with quiff and an electric guitar .... ala Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure........:rotfl:



...............sorry Nora, Z (and everyone else) I can hardly type for laughing as thats the vision in my head!

I'm not around for a couple of days and you lot go mad :eek:

absolutely stark raving bonkers :rotfl:

I am confused about excel and calculators, guinea pigs in togas, MB hooks and hexipuffs - are these code words for something completely different?????? Or, as I suspect, you've all lost the plot :rotfl:

I clearly need to be here to stop the men in white coats coming to take you away
