    Met C in town for lunch, she gets an hour off so we sat in a nice sunny spot with our sandwiches.
    My step-sister also works in town so I popped in to see her and get a look at the baby scan picture. Really cool! She was worried it was twins, but there is just the one so all is well. Her next scan is the beginning of Oct, should be able to see the sex then.

    I keep checking my bank to see if the loan cheque has gone out, nothing yet :(

    Sounds like things are going well with this lady :j:j:j, any more news on the !!!!!! Boss and the nasty chatting (for want of a better word)

    Oh and it could take up to a week for the cheque to clear so don't panic until this time next week! :shocked::shocked:

    Things are going very well :)

    Nothing heard from the boss, he's back in the USA now. The guy who said it has been subdued since, not even talking to other staff. I've put it behind me, these events are rare in work, so not going to dwell on it. Better things to think about :D

    And I know it will take a few days, but I want it clear NOW!!! :rotfl:
