    With the memories being shared, I think most people on here are in the 40's!

    Did you have one of those ring ariels that you had to keep moving?

    I remember one of my first jobs was inputting a data programme into a computer.

    Typing 00011010010100101010101 for 8 hours a day! It was horrendous and I was rubbish! I always kept getting the 0 and 1 in the wrong order! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D


    Yes that's right ;)

    No problem, all in jest so no need to apologise, see below:) I was just sticking up for the menfolk.
    My reply was tongue-in-cheek, but there's isn't a 'tongue-in-cheek icon.:wink:
    I am, I admit it :p:p:p:p:p:p:p
    Well, I'll have to stick up for Yorkshire lasses, too, and disagree with you:grin:

    If you can find any left... Xmas branded pet stuff (collars, toys etc.) and also gluten free items (mince pies, muffins etc) in sainsburys should scan @ 10p regardless of what the SEL says.
    I bought 30 sparkly cat collars today and I don't even have a cat!!!

    Tenth Anniversary
    Evening peeps. :)

    Thankyou for last night, my head was in a bit of a spin!!
    Been very productive today. Locks changed and a couple of new padlocks on the sheds, thanks to a mate. After texting my wife about the gas and electric keys, she told me her mother has put them in the house somewhere!! So after 3 hours of searching, I found them.... In the bottom of a box of rice crispies. :mad: I know they're trying to wind me up but I wont bite.

    No hospital today as the appointment was cancelled, 2 weeks until next one. :mad: Picked up a second hand sofa as well, so I have somewhere to sit. :)

    Thankyou Willowwispy. :A
