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!

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!!!

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. :A0
