Good morning all quite chilly here today but at least it's dry. Can carry on tidying garden.
I have a blackbird nesting in some shrubs, and the female is quite happy to flit around and stop and stare at me!
Hope the neighbours cats don't spot it.

good evenooning all, ups and downs today:/. i told my boss about my gripes with running base, so hopefully that'll get the ball rolling for change.

i made a genuine mistake on saturday, had 2 demo cars to clean, i had beer to take i was owed out of one... i took it out the wrong one!
by time i noticed one lad had already burst it open so i was in a pickle... i couldn't correct the mistake as it was different case of beer.. and i wasn't wanting to say he was drinking on shift as he is a friend as well....

so, i waited till closing up to hand the keys back to the chap who owed me, and explained the mix up on my part, a can missing as the lad had took for way home.. and i have replaced with one of mine if he can let his co worker know they are in the fridge and my apologies.

so... up come the chap to collect car, 'thats not my beer'

em yes it is, it was in your car. (explained mix up again)

'no its not'

emm, it was in your car.

'no it wasn't'

so we can have it then?!?

'yes'



well as you can imagine i was over the moon and relieved. my boss came in today, he had a call from the sales manager absolutely fuming as it was his!! i explained the mix up though didn't say about the lad drinking on shift, obviously i said i would replace it.... hes on blooming holiday!!

i hope it doesn't, but they may check cameras.. in which case they will see our guy drinking on shift... it may be a him or me for the boot situation:(

Hey everyone!

I finally have shorts! I had problems finding some my size as they were all baggy around my legs... I hate having skinny legs!

So today I got some cheap jeans and cut them and I think they turned out pretty good for the first time. I'm going to add a few rips but this is them now :) ImageUploadedByTortoise Forum1491842099.062236.jpg

Oh dear hope it won't come to that John. I doubt they'll check the cameras for something like a missing beer - but if it does you weren't the one drinking, although I can understand you worrying for your mate.

Ah I remember doing that - a great way of recycling old jeans:)
Now all you need is the warmer temps back - not likely this week I don't think.:(

definitely bad books i feel. i'm just setting up spare room as i guess i'm in there tonight. i fear a domestic, if or when:(. the rents etc is paid, just 'other things' (which i very rarely ask jade to help with) that's left me short.

Hello.
The Georgia trip didn't go very well.
I took mom out of the nursing home to get some stuff that she wanted and she was just commenting on how she no longer needs a wheelchair. Just a cane.
Unfortunately, she soon afterwards fell straight forward onto her face and broke her nose.
She'll be fine, but this is another trip meant to give her a vacation that failed. This whole trip was spent in the hospital.
