    Even better as I am off, unexpectedly, to an event in a shop, with free wine and nibbles. As I don't need to buy anything, I get a glass of wine and a catch up with a chum :D

    I've no idea where today went to - it was 8am ish and now it's heading for 6pm.

    Anyway, that's all for now.

    See you all on Friday at GGs - well virtually - she will need to have a steady stream of food and drinks in the go as we could be pitching up at all times :rotfl:

    Well I would have ;).
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Morning TYO, I could just do with a few more work days, to get finished before Friday - no idea why it gets so ridiculously busy, apart from two weeks virtual shut down :eek:

    Get your onesy pressed for Friday

    Well, the pressure is off me work wise - needed to hand something in Thurs, had done 2 days on it, was planning on working on it all tomorrow. Computer packed up this morning and synch hasn't worked so couldn't pick it up from back-up :mad:. It's still 'in there' but IT can't work out what's wrong (affected around 15% of laptops, all in a different way and all solved differntly. Except mine, the mystery :() so can't get it working.

    On the plus side, I have an extra day tomorrow to get everything else done :T.

    On the downside........ part of my bonus target :(, boss says ok but I may end up working on it over Xmas :cool:. Or, if I get lappy back Thurs, on Friday which I think is a quiet day all round :rotfl:.
