    Well I eventually made my imaginary car boot a reality back in September, only touched the surface with what I took but was happy with over £70 for couple of hours stood in the sunshine. :D

    Trouble is I haven't relocated the stuff I brought back to their original homes so have cardboard boxes in the porch for the imaginary boot sale I am doing next. :rotfl:

    Must admit don't think it's something I could do frequently and certainly not now the colder weather is here but maybe once in a blue moon, maybe I will be braver and take more next time.....
    I dont know down your way but here they stop now till easter, apart from one in nearby town that is hard standing

    OH is back - not sacked, de moted, made redundant or on gardening leave and all is right with the world.

    There was some discussion at the meeting with Big Boss this afteroon on the subject of 'bringing the company into disrepute' - and OHs FB page was mentioned.
    He has had to take off his profile page the line that says where he works.
    He also had a header photo which they wanted removing - it has been there since autumn 2015 and yes it was taken on works premises but it was actually a photo taken in the 1980s :eek: - no statue of limitations though
    Management also complained about another photo - actually it was one posted up from 3 years ago - he stopped bothering with his FB page long ago.

    OH has been taking work related photos for 40 years mainly to do with driver training and operations standards and safety issues, all to do with his role and his photos have been regularly included in training documents (not with his name on obviously) If photos are needed its OH they ask for first.

    So what we think has gone on is that there has been a spate of lesser grades putting all sorts on their FB pages - yes that as well - for which there has been disciplinarys. The unions want to show parity with all grades so they needed to find a scapegoat in OHs grade so OH was it. All they could find though was some very ancient photos - a bit of a joke really seeing as OHs photos are regularly featured in training manuals

    And OH has maybe 12 people on his friends list of which half are family members

    so all a bit of a storm in a teacup and normal service will be resumed soon

    Glad all is ok :T:T what a relief of sorts

    Well done for being brave! :T

    Thank you :)

    I had been a nervous wreck all day thinking about needles.
    Yesterday at work they asked if we wanted a flu jab free on school premises . I shuddered and told them they already knew the answer.

    Bit far to go for most isn't it, just for a fiver? :p

    Afternoon all! Brrrr it's chilly in Worcestershire today! Lovely and sunny but winter is definitely on its way.

    Looks like my Frocking budget may be about to go out the window as DH is insisting on taking me out for a meal tonight (I know, I know, it's a hard life :o). I would say no but I think he needs the time out to relax as he's in a similar position to Mhoc's DH in terms of uncertainty at work, and he was even thinking of handing in his notice today :eek: Fortunately I managed to persuade him to take some time to think about it and apply for some jobs first etc, but it might mean I'm the main breadwinner for a bit until he gets something concrete! Just as well we got the mortgage reduced...

    I love worcester..... ds1 went to uni there so we were frequent visitors
