    Foreigner, as in doing some work for cash in hand, often using work's equipment without their consent and not declaring what you have earned. Sometimes doing the work when they should be working for the company that employs them.



    Sounds like a proper shyster and tbh you only have yourself to blame, sorry :(

    Make mine please, not done it yet:eek: my excuse is oven is dodgy, well not the oven the door but i am going to have to risk it:o
    I'm so glad I made mine before I went in hospital. My oven is well dodgy, keeps filling with smoke whenever I use it. Good job you brought me lots of pasta. :rotfl:
    Hi
    cn do quotes and dont know if this will reach the thread.the tinternet is very iffy cos of the wind or rubbish talk talk spending all their money sponsering x factor instead of updating their systems.
    Av been lurking for awhile as I couldnt trust myself not to write before engaging brain and so avoid upset...
    and RL is aaarghh atm.
    am mega decluttering as ds has left, so had to start to avoid a divorce.wind has rippedtiles off roof so dh went in loft to check...and we both nearly had heart attack.him cos its first time hes been in loft for ages so has seen narnia...
    Me cos hes been in loft and seen narnia.
    he thinks I have completely lost my mind cos my short term memory is shot, due to perimenopause, sorry all the guys.....
    now what was I saying.....
    oh yes, am off to pre op ap on mon then for op to whip out my gall bladder on 21st so thats xmas sorted for me.the pain from gallstones has been on a par with childbirth so quite looking forward to the loss of the organ, iykwim.
    still grappling with the cbt sessions for the depression.glass half full and all that rubbish.
    bet you are glad you asked how I was faring now, arnt you, lol
    on a positive note...salwag has lost weight on some new and expensive food so we are all losing pounds, you could say.
    ill be so unhappy if this novelette gets lost in the ether, so here goes.....
    Good luck with your op. My FIL has gallstones and says the pain from this is unbearable. He went to A&E a couple of times before being diagnosed (by a cruise ship Dr then confirmed in a hospital in Cyprus!).
    I would have thought sandwiches, sausage rolls and pasties would last fine without freezing provided in airtight container. I would avoid meat thought cheese will last better. Take drinks for coach trip (and park as useless security. I would advise him to have a nice big mac donalds just before getting on coach to come home as we found it very reasonably priced (in Disney town just outside actual park). Presume can leave bag on coach and be getting back on same coach again.
    To be honest we didn't find the cost of drinks too bad I think the hot dog place inside the park was about 7 euros for a full meal. Or just use to buy a drink. Water bottles can be filled from fountain.
    So cheese sarnies, pringles as travel better sausage rolls ect for coach and money for a couple of drinks and hot food before travelling home.
    The journey can't be too bad from you to port as I can drive it in 2 hours. Not sure of distance the other side as we flew. Providing he doesn't want souvenirs could do comfortable for €30 or less if being tight.

    Hope that helps a bit.

    Thanks VT, will tell him about McDonalds. Don't think its too long down to the port from Northampton, although there are a few pick up points along the way. The motorway services he is going from is pretty near me, so will just drop him and his friend off then they can wait.

    Vs M

    :(They never pick up M 10 for £3 even when people buy all the same one. Perhaps people ought to buy some and complain via HQ to try to get the price collectors to do the job in the future. Not sure about 'rocking of the boat' at this time though, with the review.

    10x Muller Banana Custard Fat Free Yogurt (175G) £4.00 £6.80

    Fortunately T were better priced of the competitors overall. (The addition of "...of the competitors" implies that A were cheaper again:(.) Especially with this vs M (simply bought at the wrong time again, as regards the M comp. at any rate):

    1x Stella Artois Lager (18X440) £12.00 £15.00

    Not bad though, with nearly £3 back vs T, although nothing in the order of £21! Seems I need to collect 7 different receipts all through the month and have them all at that:rotfl:. The usual Lurpaks(:mad::rotfl:) and other stuff making other wombles lose.

    Hi TM, really good actually, have a small area on one incision not healing and about a cm on the other which is good out of a 8 inch scar, I was warned that getting a tx kidney out was worse than getting one in but I found it a doddle so looking forward to Christmas now , thanks for thinking of me :o, good day to the elite :)

    Thats great news izzy, glad you're doing well. I've got a slight bit of trouble with my incision, nothing major. Noticed today that it basically looks like a 2nd belly button as it has a hole in it. Very odd.

    You're not wrong but to be totally honest it is someone my missus knows and she is the one who trusted / organised the work to be done.
