Well done Skinty.
A comedian on Thursday night was having a bit of banter with me about going home. Asked me what my father's best quality is. After 'literally' 2 minutes silence I said "sarcasm!!!"
I'm amazed you were so kind Butti, have you seen him yet this weekend? My mum told me off for having a messy home the other day because I had books (studying) on coffee table:mad:HelenDaveKids wrote: »I think Im getting worse, my face is so transparent, not good in my job!

I'm bad Helen, find it so easy to think one thing yet show something else - deception comes way too easy but I'm quite honest outside work honest! Mmmm....perhaps this is where I'm going wrong and I should be a master confidence trickster...
Although overcoming annoyance with boss who was rubbish dealing with a lad in a wheelchair today was tough, bloomin pillock:mad: but then maybe that's how he was brought up and he can't help it ***tries to see good in folk***Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

I'm in the position where I can just say what I think, as everyone is used to me now, and when I'm being diplomatic it's so transparent it's hardly worth doing.skint_spice wrote: »I'm amazed you were so kind Butti, have you seen him yet this weekend?

Books on a coffee table? Things with words and stuff in them? Whatever next? It'll be the world going to hell in a handbasket - you mark my words...skint_spice wrote: »I'm bad Helen, find it so easy to think one thing yet show something else - deception comes way too easy but I'm quite honest outside work honest!

It's a question of ethics. Just because you can, doesn't mean you will. But deception with people you meet more than once doesn't work. Once they stop believing you, they don't believe you any more. Sounds obvious - try telling my management that though.skint_spice wrote: »Although overcoming annoyance with boss who was rubbish dealing with a lad in a wheelchair today was tough, bloomin pillock:mad: but then maybe that's how he was brought up and he can't help it ***tries to see good in folk***

It was awful Beanie, he was polite enough to his dad but lad had learning difficulties too and was chatting away to us - everyone else chatted back like you would to anyone but he ignored him and looked really uncomfortable. Yeah not noticeable at all...
Glad you found a stick you liked:D at least you get more choice these days.

Well it was a quiet day at work so I tidied up, did some mending then a load of ironing - can't say I was idle but sales were poor. Flying visit to LM on way home for a cuppa then I've been doing some more ironing...zzz... NSD so far though!
DS and I are off to my parents in a mo then back to the books. I have tomorrow night off though as I'm off out - I am expecting to witness some galloping and perhaps some fruit friends:D hopefully that's clue enough or else you'll think I've flipped!Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Had great night out but was out late then woken up by one of DS's friends who came to walk him to school but he was at my folks...
Today has been a bit spendy as I rejoined fatclub online - seem to have regained a stone and all around my middle!:eek: Must up the running as well as there is a 10K in just over a month and I've had a month off, ran yesterday and it was just a couple of months but still painful.

One of the worst places to store it too Beanie - health wise as well as vanity:o It does come off quite quickly if I focus and leave the snacks alone...Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
