That's because you're fannying about on t'Internet.
I'd sack you for that.

Thanks, i tried a sports knee brace for a bit.

Tubigrip is the stretchy stuff you are probably thinking of. I tried that too.

If painful, the heat spray (can't remember the name now, but comes in a red can) works really well.

If not, the above advice is good.

I'd even not hire myself.

Been fannying on t'internet quite a lot today.
But it was our fiscal year end, it's dead now, so I have an excuse.

Bought some stuff inspired by HUKD, paid council tax, browsed auto trader, nikkster's feet...etc...etc.....

He's doing 60% FTE, isn't he?

So that's 20 days of leave, plus 2 days a week every week when he can stay at home because of being p/t - another 104 days. Total 124 week days in the year when he doesn't have to go to work.

Having now bought a car off HUKD I am thinking of setting up HUKD anonymous. 'My name is michaels and I am a compulsive online bargain shopper'

Can we add on 60% of 8 bank holidays too?

My feet are blushing I'd tell you how not nice my feet are, but it sounds like there are some NP foot fetishists, ahem, afoot so I'll try not to encourage it.

As if a day's manual labour + rummaging round the bargain bins in Tesco wasn't grounding enough, I landed firmly back in the real world at work today. Is it the weekend yet?
