    I have only just noticed that Stu had left a card on my bedside table. :o I got up in the dark and didn't notice it. :doh:

    It's one he has made himself with a little poem inside saying we go together like champagne and ice...lol. Never had ice in my champagne (not that I ever drink champagne), so I'm presuming he means in an ice bucket...or maybe he means we don't really go together! :eek:

    Maybe I should stop trying to analyse it? :rotfl:

    Maybe it's a euphemism for hanky panky.

    Maybe it means that most blokes are rubbish at poetry. :p

    presume he's just trying to say an extra i love you and be romantic and... and... and and wants to play scrabble :rotfl:
  • Perhaps he wrote ice because strawberries didn't rhyme.
    Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in. :D
  • I'm back - phew! Also walked the dog in the wonderful sunshine.

    When I got there I had to compose a letter using some basic information given to me, fill in some database stuff and answer the phone when it rang and take a message!!! There were 2 other staff in the office who I guessed were admin staff. However, one of the women then showed me into the office for the interview and there was 1 other person already in there. The woman who had been sitting in the office at the same time as me then said 'and I didn't introduce myself, I'm Lyn and I'm head of department'...........oooooooooooooh, naughty!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek:

    I suddenly started to wonder if I'd said anything particularly inane whilst in there. I don't think I did, but I did have a bit of a problem finding where the excel file I had to use in the test had been filed, but I found it eventually so I hope that she didn't think I was too much of a numpty!

    Anyway, if I'm successful, I'll get a call in the morning. If not, I'll get a letter in the post.

    It went well, it depends whether they feel I'm over qualified or not really I guess or who else they interviewed:confused: Nice little job which they said had scope to be developed in any way I would want to really.

    It's job day as well in the paper so that is my next task.

    Must also clean the bathroom. It's in a shameful state. :o

  • hhmmm, I also think I should have set a a bit of the letter out differently so it would read better, but hey, too late now.

    Must clean the bathroom, must clean the bathroom, must clean the bathroom............
