    Morning :)
    I can't see the vile rant either so it must of been removed now!!
    What a change in weather since yesterday. Me and OH spent a lovely couple of hours at the allotment digging in the boards (OH as the shovel was too heavy for me :o) and weeding through all the beds. It looks much better now. We were happy to see that the brussels were beginning to form and the sweetcorn is not far from ready :D
    Christmas wise I am going to try and get another 10 Christmas cards written this evening after work - Just the bathroom to do first :eek:
    Clean that is not write a card too :p:rotfl:
    Hoping to collect the few bits I would like for Grandparents this weekend from the garden centre and then just to finish off 3 other gifts (Dad, FIL and BIL) plus find something else for OH and all my shopping is complete.
    Finished baking the last Christmas cake yesterday, so it smelt lovely in our kitchen yesterday afternoon :snow_grin
    Well time to tootle on with some work and pop back later - not much going on here and people are fed up still, two handed notice in last week and the rest of us don't know how secure our jobs are anyway. Never mind, onwards and upwards :)
    Christmas is the most magical time of the year :santa2:

    Is anyone else seeing lots of !!!!!!! instead of letters and numbers?


    I can't read half of the posts on this page :(
  • Morning, didn't see any 'vile rant,' so it must have gone now xxxx
    W-L-L I have that very machine, l love the costa Americano from it, which l drink black, unsugared, so l know it is identical to the one l get in Costa (very occasionally, now, as home brewed is so much cheaper!) In fact l got DS2 one for his birthday, and have ordered, from the offer in the link, another for DS1+DDIL Christmas. You get £20 voucher when you register the machine, so really it is only £20 +£5 p+p.
    The christening was lovely, and DGS looked fabby, so l took photos, (rare occurrence) and will get one printed out for his mums Christmas present.
    I can hear a dratted bluebottle buzzing, but cannot find it, but when l do.........
    Fave Cos. is coming this morning, we are going to have a gander at the local shops Christmassy stuff, looking forward, then soup dragon will open the cauldron. Off to put it in the slow cooker, byeeeee xxx



    I haven't been on here for a while, what do all these exclamation marks??
    Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad, is a full minute of happiness you'll never get back.. :p:p

    The forum team have done it as part of their spam clean up. I'm sure it will be put back right once they have the forum attack under control.
    I don't respond to stupid so that's why I am ignoring you.

  • Thanks Pixitots, that helps put my mind at ease a little.

    Oh dear all the !!!'s have made my eyes gone funny.

    Well, went for the job interview, didn't get the position I applied for, but they have offered me Head Midday position, plus supply work as a TA, with the possibility of a full time TA position within the next 6-12 months.

    Happy days xx
    It's not about getting what you want, It's about wanting what you get.
  • Congrats Pinknfluffy :beer:

    I was reading then and thinking Oooooo secret code what do I do now :eek:

    Weather has been too pants to do much venturing outside - but I should get my new kindle fire 7" by the weekend :T:T:T:T:T:T I got fed up with dropping hints for a kindle and decided to spend my wages on myself - I actually do not feel guilty, even for not paying more off my CC :cool:
