    Think gordon may be my secret celebrity crush actually, love the way he always changes his top right infront of the camera. poser!:D

    Just had to let you know, after my post yesterday about Gordon the God I got a phone call from The F Word - I really really did - it seems too coincidental to be true! The researcher asked me a few questions and said she would be interested in putting our application through to go on the next series :j :j :j We e-mailed on the basis we have "tiny tiny" kitchen and no real facilities to cook save for two electric hobs and asked Gordon to take on the challenge - oh dear Me and Gordon in that confined space together, I'm not sure I could cope.

    Fingers crossed they get back to us ;)

    Don't you just love computers - lulling you into that false sense of security and pride at having achieved something, then sending it into outerspace never to be seen again, with only some stupid "cannot display the page" message :mad:

    As for BlackAngelUK - what can I say......up close and personal with Gordon - will he be changing his top in your kitchen :confused:

    Hi scaredy, Hi blackangel, hi Hypno, hi everyone!!:hello: :hello:

    SO. that was a bloomin long day, how was it for everyone else? Drove to northampton for team meeting and back, got home at 9pm.

    Hypno, Had a long chat with the big boss man today re my sleeless nights issue, had my stern invigilator look at the ready and hid my tantrumin teenager deep inside. Was told that he had to send a stern firm letter to prove to agency he was taking my debt situation seriously, however he would only speak to me on the phone each month other than once a quarter when we'd meet up for a chat!! Well THANKS FOR THAT!!!!! i'll stop the sleepless nights now then SHALL I!!!! grrrrrrrrrr :mad:

    Need an opinion. Came home to a letter today, addressed to me, with my first name and everything, from bank of scotland's assest finance maintenance department. It said that due to over payment on an agreement i would have £160 paid into my account over next 7 days.
    fantastic one would say...
    BUT A) i've never had a bank of scotland account, let alone with an asset finance maintenance department. not sure who they are or whats going on.
    B) if they are going to put money in my account i have only just swapped it back to halifax and if they pay it into abbey (bank charge reclaim a gogo) then have i lost it? :o

    Don't have the energy to tackle the SOA again tonight, will wait til invigorated by pay check int morning and go for it then!

    any news on gordon blackangel? maybe we should start up a Fellow Appreciator of Gordon Ramsey thread!!:rotfl:

    Just gonna pop over to your thread hypno and check up on how your day has been:beer: see you there!

    Morning!!

    Regarding the money that BoS want to pay into your account, could you just do them a quick 2 line letter along the lines of:

    Thank you for your letter of xxxx. Please could you arrange for the funds to be paid into bank account xxxxx at xxxxx and not to any other account for which you hold details?

    Sorry your boss is still being an idiot. Perhaps you need to practice the invigilator look a little more ;)
