    Been sent home from work sick... :(


    Anyway, thought I'd give you lot a riddle to work out...

    "Brothers and sisters, I have none, but that man's father is my fathers son, who am I to that man?"



    Let's see who can crack it......... and no cheating!!!! :D

    Ummm... I'm his dad? Who knew!
  • Just had a job interview and it didn't go great :( any ideas what I can do to cheer myself up that's cheap and can wait until 8Pm tonight when I actually finish work?!?

    Don't lose hope, I know loads of people who thought they had bad interviews and ended up getting the job. I know that's no consolation now, though.

    Come on here at 8, we'll cheer you up! :D

    I'm having a complete blonde moment :rotfl: Can someone remind me how to work out my % paid off? I want to add it to my signature because I find it more encouraging to see % rather than just how much i've paid off, but my dipsh!t brain is struggling to remember how work it out at the moment :rotfl: :D
