Good morning all. I have a lunch date today. A friend who has had a rough time since a car accident 18 months ago. She has had to have major surgery on torn muscles and it’s not over yet :(

On top of that, her husband went off with a much younger woman. It’s been a dreadfully hard time for her.

Hopefully we will have a giggle as usual though :)
You have just put my day in perspective again. Shame, I really hope that she can enjoy her time spent with you on the lunch date. I wish I could make all the troubles for everyone go away.:oops:

I'm working for their distribution center. Just starting out I will probably spend the majority of my day on a forklift loading and unloading trucks. Not the most glamorous of jobs, but it will pay the bills. The only thing that might take me a little while to get used to is working in a freezer.

I hope everyone has a great day today and gluck on your matches!
It might be fun for a while, as you haven't done it before (I am presuming). My matches yesterday were a flop. I did at least get 1.5 points. Whoop Whoop. I am not holding out much hope for todays either. I seem to have the nack of getting it totally wrong.:p:D:D

Oh I've driven a forklift many many years, I'm just assuming I will probably be starting at the bottom with this company as I'm new. Im going in a little while I think today is just going to be a walk thru of the job and my responsibilities.

Don't worry about not doing good in the pool everyone gets a participation trophy anyway ;)

Hmmm, terrible? Not good!
Husband is away, and woke up to having to clean up pee fom the dog who also decided that on the couch was a good spot. (Don't know how to get him to stop peeing in the house) and then found out that my fridge/freezer stopped producing cold air or whatever you call it. Luckily my boss was kind enough to let me go home and take my stuff from my freezer to my Mother-in-law so it does not go off. But the techinician is only coming at 16:00 (it is now 14:35) to have a look. I don't even want to think about the expense. I am hoping it is just a simple matter of having to be re-gassed and that it does not cost too much. And that it is fixable at least. Otherwise we need a new fridge and that will put me in more debt.:oops:

Brownie's are nice, but I prefer milk tarts, cheese cake and those kind of cakes. BUT if there are Brownie's on offer I will never say no. Probably why I look like I do.:oops:
I used to read Agatha Christie books, and they always talked of Fairy Cakes. I really, really want to try a Fairy Cake. We don't have them here.

Your poor friend!! I would be a mess if I was in her shoes!!

Pretty sure that relationship won’t last.

My friends, “best” friend had an affair with her husband and both couples divorced and the new couple only lasted 2-3yrs. All together there were 5 small kids involved. It was so sad.

Can you imagine telling your best girlfriend all your marriage problems while she’s sleeping with your husband?

Enjoy your giggling!!

I would freeze!! I’m sure you’ll survive with all the gear!!

I’m watching Korea vs Germany right now!

I think Mexico is today as well.
The news showed a few bars opened at 7am since we live in San Diego. The police are worried about drunk driving after the game.

I just found the Mexico game!! Duh, it was on a lower channel.
