    Ah, don't worry. He'll be fine I'm sure. Keep yourself busy, and active so you don't dwell. :D


    Oh i'm not ever leaving my job :D. I do Tues,Wed,Thurs, it's a 5 mins drive to home, and I have a T, 2 A's and a S within 5 mins drive. Plus lots of free time to talk to you lot. I do wonder sometimes if my boss knows what i do and what i spend all my time on :rotfl: As long as the work is done, he's happy I don't bother him. Plus he gives me a bonus of £1,200 every 6 months :T

    Ooh, a client of ours has just left...... in his souped up, blacked out windows Lamborghini with personalised plate. Wow, didn't half make a racket.. Our clients don't often drive cars like that by the way :rotfl: He is a one off :D
    just got a call from DS2's school & he's not feeling well so got to go pick him up :eek: at least that will keep me busy :rotfl:

    i want your job :p:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    :beer: Happy Bargain Hunting!! :beer:

    I agree.....I'm never leaving here either. I work 4 days a week 8-3pm can chose whichever day off I want. During school hols I work 3 days and can chose whichever 2 days off I want. Its an Engineering company, very few women so no !!!!!iness, great bunch of guys. Spend most days laughing.....and decent money for laughing most of the day. Couldn't beat it!! :rotfl:

    That does sound fab, he sounds like a nice boss too :D

    I have a new boss and he's one of those compulsive liar people - seems like a nice enough chap, but can't believe a word he says :rotfl:

    DH is always tormenting me saying I should be shaving more than him :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I didn't know whether to :( or :rotfl: at that

    I've definitely noticed mine getting worse recently, I don't know whether waxing will make it worse or better :o

    DH commented on this recently with me :( and then DD did it the next day :(
    Has made me super self conscious now :(
    Apparently waxing makes it worse but bleaching makes it look stupid :think: I wonder if I paint a clown face on they'll stop picking on me :D

    ooh, i love a posh fancy dinner.. Was really lovely, we had the private dining room (8 of us). Fab night catching up with everyone.

    Yup, terrible two's will be tough with tigercub - she has such a personality, very, very different from DS.



    I've heard of women doing that for revenge with men who have crossed them :eek: Also sewing prawns into the bottom of the curtains so they stink and take ages to be found :rotfl: Not that I'd ever do that. Don't know why that stuck in my mind :rotfl:

    Where I used to work certain members of staff would play 'hide the fish finger' :eek: :rotfl:
    Sounds ruder than it is :D
    They'd get a frozen fish finger (had to be frozen because they don't smell for the first few hours :D) and hide it somewhere and then see how many days it takes people to figure out what the smell is and find it :D
