Technically its a zone 3 but think everything is meant to be zone two now?

Probably best to ask an electrician. I thought it depended on how big the bathroom was. Mine is pretty small, so everything would be in 2. But if it's far enough away, then it could be what was a 3. Best to check though.

Had no idea you were one of those dirty smokers..... the assumption these days is that people don't smoke; especially posh people

My boss is the poshest person I know and he smokes more than the rest of them put together. It's the middle classes who don't smoke much (they just drink 2 bottles of wine a night instead).

I have no evidence for any of this but it is scientific fact.

We are going for a second viewing on the house that we didn't really like that much on Sunday morning at 9.30 which seems a bit irregular, esp. as it is currently tenanted so the agent has to be there, but that's the only time the tenant said they'd be out so fair enough...

I sent my mum the rightmove link and she came back with a very long, critical email which started off with "how bloody much?" And went downhill from thereon in. The garden facing north east seemed to upset her the most and there was a long paragraph about how much trouble conservatories are.

It's not ideal by any stretch of the imagination but it is 5 mins walk from the station, the pub, the shops and a 2 minute walk from a friend's house so that seems to outweigh the fact that the garden might not get much sun after 2pm...

Nope, just slave labouring outside.

I don't get in a bad mood very often, so I'm going to make myself a nice cuppa, go outside for a sneaky fag, and stop whinging!

I'm in a grump too

the boiler problem was only a loose fitting and i've spent 2 mornings at home waiting for men to tighten a nut.

today was particularly bad because I had a lot of work to do and was already grumpy when i arrived at work. and then it all went downhill from there

I dislike BBQ Christmases. Not as much a I dislike hot meal Christmases in stinking heat. The simple answer is to be in uk.

We spent Chrsitmas day here one year http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=sapi%20island&source=web&cd=7&cad=rja&sqi=2&ved=0CEoQFjAG&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kotakinabalu.com%2Fcmarter.asp%3Fdoc%3D2478&ei=vE8BUvPeBeSr0AWKvoHgBQ&usg=AFQjCNFRuTxewYsy8wI-a7qEao8XdITVlw&bvm=bv.50310824,d.d2k

Lunch was a BBQ and fabulous fruit, with monkeys swinging by and nicking stuff.

I like monkeys, and would be tickled by their thievery.

But I feel the nativity is nice with a donkey and a lamb or two. I feel a thieving moneky would be equally nice at a different time of year. New year perhaps. Eating fruit as a new year resolution?

At work I had my 360 feedback today. I feel very happy with it/me on the whole . What I need to work on / recognise is that my enthusiasm and persuasive ways can overwhelm others..aka that I can overtalk/squish other's ideas:o.

Tomorrow my team and I spend the morning 'learning' from our individual and collective strengths...and areas/techniques to impove our influencing skills.
