Don't forgets us nikkster, but life will probably be a bit rushed at times now.


Brrrr.......its for to the time of year again. I just washed my face with water so cold it made my teeth ache. ( no hot water connected to sink ATM) Dh carried dog dog upstairs and hilariously she is asking to go down again where it's warmer. (for various reasons she is better with us tonight but tomorrow she can start sleeping with big dog again I hope) . Sitting on the side of the bed made me go 'ooooooh' at the coldness ( wish I could find that silly electric blanket).

We are debating options. Two nights with no sleep dh says w should sleep in tomorrow ' for my sake', but I think we should get up as normal. The compromise is a shorter sleep in. ( I am thinking of cl ock change issues)


Architect has checked over all the measurements causing nice builder and I concern this week and he is confident that the issue causing stress should work......and coming up with options for if it doesn't.

How far off having a useable hot water and heating system are you? Hopefully not too long. I don't want to hear of you having another winter like last one given that you've been poorlier (is there such a word) since.

Of course I'll still be here (just not during the day) As if the nice people can be forgotten.

My vote is always for a lie in. I really like sleeping (and am generally pretty good at it). Glad dog dog seems to be doing ok. It is chilly tonight isn't it?

Have a good time Niks. We have now caught up with three weeks of Strictly so that we can watch the live shows tomorrow, so will be watching at the same time as you. Don't know either of the other two.

Seriously, I hope you have a good weekend and that everything goes really well on Monday, then builds from how it has started.

Thanks viva. I think I know what I'm doing on Monday up until 9.45ish (due to arrive at 9.30), guessing it will involve being shown where the fire exits, toilets etc are, and being introduced to many new,people than I have capacity to remember names, but other than that I have no idea. Likewise the rest of the job really!

Just smile, forget their names.... all you need to know for the first month is: what time can I get out of here? Where the loos/coffees are ..... and, well, that's it

At least the countdown has started PN

Do you wish you carried on staying with the bloke? Is it possible to go back there?

On a more positive note, how has week two at work been?

Sorry... 20 questions...

NIkkster. looking forward to hearing how you settle in- sure you'll liove it.

PN delighted about the job. Being knackered is OK but hope you can get a new place soon.:beer:

I think that's just so there is a bit of time at the start of the day before,the clueless new starter needs to be met I have bought a car as I expect I won't be keeping a strict 9-5 and so need to not rely on the shuttle bus.I was doing 12 hour days with a 90+ minute commute each way in my last job, so as long as its better than that I'll be ok!

I'm hoping everyone is good at wearing their id badges. I think.I'll be doing plenty of slightly nervous smiling anyway

You and ?I would have made a really compatible couple. DW likes to get up at 5 which wakes me :mad: whereas she can fall asleep at 9.30 pm while I am on the laptop till later.

My DH does that so I think I've found a partner for your DW too... Though this could sound a bit freaky to anyone reading this thread for the first time.
