She had to delete a few things to get room for the app on his phone l would never have been able to do it . She wants one now lol ! Have done vegan cake for Thursday , it tastes ok ish but doesn't rise much at all and is very l hate this word but it is so apt moist yuk! Am freezing it till Thursday , honestly the things we do for love Hmm.
Anyway Dads hospital Appt was fine no change in his condition which is very good news . I mean he is 88 in June ,how lucky are we to still have him and mum? His next appt is June 11th 2 days after his 88th birthday so we shall see how it goes , monitoring his condition they call it till they need to intervene. Like I said we are so lucky .
Sally, l love the sound of your day with your little one ...blissful...
Hairspray that was awful for you to deal with at such a young age, MC is so hard whatever your age but 18 ...wow , that must have been hell for you , l am sorry it happened to you my dear Flowers. As for the job and Occy Health, in my experience they are useless articles but it will happen and Hairspray Babe will go to the job ball lol!

NoWordForFluffy · 12/02/2018 19:08

As, not A's...what the buggery is autocorrect up to?!

NerosFiddle · 12/02/2018 22:34

Just catching up again. My DD missed out on being the thread baby as I didn't join here quick enough

HairsprayBabe · 13/02/2018 06:31

Thank you so much MrsM Sorry fot bringing the thread down everyone, I don't know why I brought it up I so rarely think about it now!

The HR is done by an external company, so the actual company I will be working for are fine, they are just powerless over the "process" handy that my current boss is such a gem letting me stay on untill I do move to my new place, just annoying I am playing for a houseshare in Nottingham I am not even using!!

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 13/02/2018 06:34

OK, I'll buy into the thread, although I don't usually start buying until October.

NoWordForFluffy · 13/02/2018 06:59

Hi, Buttocks!

315

My pug arrived yesterday. I put it on top of the wardrobe straight away so haven't looked at it yet!

Mrsmadevans · 13/02/2018 08:49

Morning everyone. Weather here is dire . Might brighten up later so walk up town on the cards hopefully.
Fluffy we had a good day yesterday , Hubbs happy with his birthday too loving his Fitbit . Pug will be gorgeous l am sure l would have ripped the parcel apart by now ,mwhahahaha so you are very patient.....
Welcome Perfect join in my dear.
Hairspray , looking in l think you must be really good at your job, that is why your current boss is keeping you on my dear , so more power to your elbow! You didn't bring the thread down at all, as we chat and get to know each other more, these things will crop up and we are here for each other Flowers.
Nero, that was bad timing lol. Congratulations on your DD's birth my dear .
Watched Collaterol last night, took a while to get going but my cup runneth over atm because I love John Simm so am recording Trauma . Did anyone watch them? What did you think?
I better get over to the Telly addicts thread lol!
Hope all well this Tuesday take care out there it is sauvage ......

SideOrderofSprouts · 13/02/2018 08:59

I'd love to Sprouts but I'm hiding in bed Grin DS has a friend coming for a gaming day later. I think I may need all my wine.

Mrsmadevans · 13/02/2018 09:08

HairsprayBabe · 13/02/2018 09:54

Well my current team is really strugging, 3 people have left in the last month, the job is a good job straight out of uni but there is very limited movement upwards so people tend to stay for 2-3 years before moving on. I am currently one of the most experienced people we gave in a team of 20 😨 so I do feel a bit guilty about leaving if I am honest!

Happy Pancake day everyone, anyone giving things up for lent? We get the "walk with me" lent calendar from church but I tend to stick it on the fridge and forget about it.

I am thining about giving up sugar, just no refined sugar and avoiding sauces with sugar in, still having fruit though.

WreckTangled · 13/02/2018 10:44

Weather here is awful too!

Went to Sainsbury's for school clothes and ended up spending Β£65. Saw a man reverse into someone in the car park twice! Then he drove off so I got the number plate and got the staff to make an announcement for the owner of the victim and I gave him the details. I beeped at the man doing it and he just drove off and waved at me Confused

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 13/02/2018 10:54

How can you give up things for Lent when Ash Wednesday is also Valentine's day?

Anyway, I'm pagan, so I don't have to! πŸ˜†

I made maple pancakes for breakfast, DS2 also had maple syrup poured over it!

SallyLockhartsDog · 13/02/2018 10:54

Well done wreck. How awful of him to drive off Envy.

I give up takeaway coffee for Lent and donate the money saved to a local animal rescue. I wouldn't stay out of a feeling of duty Hairspray!

I will send over Wine. DD1 is at a netball day, DD2 is still curled up on the couch Sad watching a series of Just William (the one with Bonnie Langford). I should be cleaning the house but I'm not Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 13/02/2018 12:32

I don't do giving stuff up for Lent! Life is hard enough without adding deprivation into the mix! πŸ˜‚

It's a good job you are needed really, Hairspray, as some places would've told you to go at the end of your notice period!

SideOrderofSprouts · 13/02/2018 14:05

I’m giving up quitting for lent...

OP posts:
WreckTangled · 13/02/2018 14:15

I don't give anything up either.

I know Sally. I don't think there was any damage but it was raining so I couldn't be sure, plus he hit it hard enough to jolt the car both times! He must have had sensors/camera anyway. Some people shouldn't be allowed to drive.

We have the dentist in two hours 😭😭 I have to be brave for the dc.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 13/02/2018 14:30

The DC are at my aunt's for 2 days. πŸ˜†

WreckTangled · 13/02/2018 17:19

I need a filling 😩

Mrsmadevans · 13/02/2018 18:00

Wreck, I am doleful for you my dear hate dentist with a passion that is just horrible , get it over with asap if you can, don't have it hanging over you . I put off having a crown for 3 years and in the end I was so much better after it tongue was snagged to pieces by jagged tooth for the whole time
Perfect ......you lucky thing , perfect peachy bum and no DC for 2 whole days ......... some ppl have all the luck

Mrsmadevans · 13/02/2018 18:10

Hairspray ... not going to give up anything for Lent either , don't feel guilty about leaving , it is just the way of the working world think like this you are giving someone else fresh from Uni a chance .
Happy Pancake day to everyone!
Had the family here for Pancakes for lunch, Delia recipe can't go wrong everybody loved them but l don't flip , does anyone else flip ?
Wreck what a cheeky blighter!
Well done for being so kind Great work !
Sally..... is DD2 screaming and screaming till she is sick ? I hated poor Bonnie for so many years after she did that series lol I really like her now but I did not like her in it at all! It scarred me for life lol!

WreckTangled · 13/02/2018 18:18

Dh is making pancakes. Pancakes not crepes Wink we make them often though.

I booked the filling for next month he offered to do it there and then but I can't afford it right now Blush he said it's just a small one
