    ....or Snaggles could confirm! Beanie??? Who is the mysterious Snaggles? and how many 'g's should be used? Dangers has used loads!

    Haha, yes, 'tis me. :D

    I locked myself out, and no longer have the email address I signed up with so couldn't reset the password. Eventually I gave in and set up a new profile with a similar name. You can use as many Gs as you like, or just go with 'Snags' to avoid having to decide. :D

    In the words of the song 'money's to tight to mention'

    Yes, I'm having a dodgy moment :o can't you just tell from the posting time of silly o'clock?

    The failing at interview for a job I thought I could do standing on my head has thrown me, pride before a fall and all that! Needless to say there have been no others appearing.

    Work has been a bit pants too. Someone has been sacked for stealing so everyone else is being watched like they are stealing too. The staff room has been banned as a few people don't clear up after themselves. We must now have our breaks sitting on a crate outside the back of the building in the freezing cold. To get your coat from the staffroom you have to go up four flights of stairs, come down have your sandwich, go back up to return coat, come back down, use the toilet and get back to work all withing 15 minutes or you'll be on written warning for taking too long! And written warning if you're caught having your lunch in the staffroom.

    Fell off a chair, trying to get Colin off a roof, he had decided he was stuck and shouting in his squeaky little voice. He jumped onto my shoulder and I lost my balance, scared him so he ran off and hid for hours. He came back demanding to be fed, never even asked if I was okay :rotfl:Cats.....

    Have talked my idea through with a friend and there wouldn't be enough money in it for at least a couple of years to make it a viable income. Yet would take a year to get going and would take all my time and money that I haven't got. So I'm putting that to one side for now, read forever!

    The Captain is hobbling round, his hind legs are very stiff in the cold. I can't ride him and because it so cold he has stayed in far more than he normally would. Partially this is his choice he asks to come in and partially because it has been difficult to get to the yard as the back roads are difficult to drive.

    Any tips for insomnia?

    Hello Piq, sorry you're having a bit of a rough time, mind you I do believe that if things are meant to happen then they will. When I was looking for a job back in October I was told that I had a second interview for a well-paid job that I knew I could do, however it might be a week or two before they organised. Shortly after I was offered the job I'm in now, and it appeared to be a bit of 'bird in hand' situation so I took it and said thanks but no thanks to the other.

    Last night they emailed me! Said they were no longer going to have anyone for the original job but had a similar job if I was interested! So had I waited it would have been for nothing... or nothing much! The 'bird in hand' job has turned out to be an amazing job, with the best boss I've ever had, couldn't be happier.... so, as I said, sometimes things are not meant to happen for a reason.

    Chin up! it WILL all come right!
    xx
