    Just quickly dropping in to say that we havent gone away on the planned magical sunny camping trip this weekend as planned. Mr Pinto has'nt accepted work and is at home, but I am struggling and gone into meltdown just a tad with stupid back and few other things.Mr Pinot and girls are all looking after me but I am not a good patient I'm afraid. :o

    My baby girl left primary school yesterday and is now a big girl ,about to start secondary, how time flies. There was a BBQ last ngiht for her and her friends which we did attend for a while before I needed to head home, but DD2 had fun so thats the important thing.

    I'm feeling bit grim and having to type standing up which isnt that easy, so I will go now and wont bore you today.

    Just want to wish you all a wonderful weekend though . Take Care

    What a shame you're feeling grim. I hope Mr PG is still on everyones case for you.

    A lot of Americans type standing up, they feel it shows more dedication. Where I worked before I was make redundant. One of the Americans had a specially imported hydrolic desk delivered so he could work standing up. It went up and down on an air thingy from waist to shoulder height. We had such fun playing with it when he wasn't there. We also used to think it could be used for several rude things....Apparently we weren't the only people who thought that as said gentleman was sacked for doing things on the desk with another gentleman.

    I'm guessing you didn't need to know that, but it's an interesting fact to pull up in the snug later.

    Do you know what ??? I really DID need to know that, as it made me laugh so much ! :rotfl:Thankyou, you are great !! :D

    Maybe I should google the special hydraulic desk, only for the importance of being able to work of course.....and nothing more than that !!

    Have a good weekend Piq xxx

    But you're sensible and clever. These gentlemen tried to bring in the standing to work regime for all of us in HO. Bit unfortunate that it wasn't working that they were standing up to do really...even less sensible to do it in front of the security cameras.
