    :rotfl::rotfl:James, that's brilliant, thing is when you're calling the cat in late at night I'm sure the neighbours must think 'poor husband, gets no peace from that woman' How about Nigel as an alternative to James?....
    Not getting James as too shy - getting Eric instead :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Yes it was a typo, it is indeed DS1. He's been with his girlfriend for ages now, they adore each other, lovely to see. However, he's very laid back and all the rest of us, DS2, DS3 and DD were worried he might never pop the question and were considering the best way to ask her to marry him on his behalf :rotfl:Luckily we won't have to now! She is a welcome addition to the family.

    Only a quick pop in between shifts. I've cooked cheese burgers and chips galore :T Luckily for me the salad there rarely gets requested so I make sure it's used up, I'm having an avocado, parmesan and basil salad when I start tonight's shift. Because I can eat at both jobs for free I'm only buying cat food and washing powder type stuff. It's helping a lot on the budgeting front of things.

    Before I go back to work I'm going to do another batch of shredding and set up a proper paper file for the house move stuff. Plenty of empty lever-arch files!

    Don't get hungry at home - cat food and laundry powder aren't just that filling.
