We've got a weather warning out for rain today. I'll be wearing my trusty old boots and raincoat Grin good job our trust is fairly relaxed about what we wear!

Mrsmadevans · 14/10/2019 08:06

Morning 😀
Mum phoned at quarter past 7 wanting to get up 😅.When l said it was too early to get up she couldn't believe the time it was 😀.
Weather is wet and warm here. No need for the heating this morning. Slept quite well too Fluffy 😊 it does make you feel better.
Best shift if Mum is up l better get up there 🙄😀

Mrsmadevans · 14/10/2019 08:08

Wreck my trust were absolute arseholes 🙄. They even used to moan about what ppl wore when they were going to the monthly off duty meetings , in their own time 🤪

NerosFiddle · 14/10/2019 08:27

Morning all. At the airport now waiting for my flight. It was such a good weekend, but I think I need another break now to recover.

Mrs Matalan has such a good collection this year.

Fluffy happy belated anniversary.

Mrsmadevans · 14/10/2019 08:46

Nero glad you had a great time 😀
Matalan are excellent this year. Great quality imho 👋
Not the cheapest but the initialled sacks and stockings were £10 and £8 and l thought they were lovely and well worth the money. Tbh l don't think l could have made them much cheaper.
Right best shift 🤗 have a great day everyone 😀

Morning all! It’s cold and cloudy here, like yesterday. It should stay dry though. I think I’ve got a cold coming on, I feel like crap.

WreckTangled · 14/10/2019 13:11

Got an interview! Not until next Friday but plenty of time to prep.

TheWoollybacksWife · 14/10/2019 13:14

Well done Wreck 🤞

TilandPop · 14/10/2019 13:35

Well done wreck!

NoWordForFluffy · 14/10/2019 14:04

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all okay. I had a social media detox for a few days but I’m back again Grin.

Well done Wreck.

Fluffy, we just did a bit of shopping, eating and drinking. We stayed in the Hard Days Night and I would recommend it for anyone staying in Liverpool. They gave us a free bottle of fizz and some chocolate and a card for my birthday. I would also recommend Casa Italia on Stanley Street, it's such a nice Italian. Dh wanted to go twice in one day.

Think I might stretch the holiday out a bit and get a take away tonight.

Mrsmadevans · 14/10/2019 17:55

Evening it's getting a bit dark now and it's only 5 to 6 Hmm
Went to Mum's and watched the opening of Parliament with her, she loved it , going on about Camilla Grin & 'what they did to Diana ' Grin.
Sorted her out and came home bout half 1, went to Morrisons & had mega oops reductions in the fruit & veg dept mainly stir fry veg Grin sorry Fluffy it's not home grown but at least it's fresh . Cooked a lot when we come home, l did a bolognaise, chilli & stir fry, for today & the next 2 days . So virtuous Halo even done the washing/wiping up Grin
I enjoy prepped meals this time of year because it is so nice to come home to the tea cooking in the slow cooker and not have to cook or clear up Smile. l love my slow cooker .
Excellent news Wreck, go for it , nothing to lose , everything to gain Grin
Fanny not put heating on yet Halo , glad your car is ok Smile
Nero sounds like you had a great time m'dear don't blame you getting a takeaway Smile

WreckTangled · 14/10/2019 18:04

Eugh and now I've got a jury summons. How inconvenient.

NoWordForFluffy · 14/10/2019 18:08

When for, Wreck?

I'd love to do it, I think. Didn't used to be allowed with my job, but can now! I've never been summonsed.

It's not too cold here right now. Depends on how sunny it's been here as to whether our house is warm though. I'll see in a bit.

I've heard that hotel is nice, Neros. No need for a hotel for us though!

Second week in December. Will be ok if I'm still in this job but if I get the new one it'll be awful. Also means having to put the dc into breakfast and after school club

NoWordForFluffy · 14/10/2019 18:32

That's a pain. But you can't defer easily.

OP posts:
WreckTangled · 14/10/2019 18:38

No. It's fine and I'm interested to do it it's just bad timing. Will be nice and festive though 😂

NoWordForFluffy · 14/10/2019 18:45

😂😂

You may find you aren't called. Or only get to do odds and sods.

Yes a colleague went recently and only had one day. This is a court which only seems to do quite serious cases. They could not like the look of me and send me home Grin in which case I'll do some festive mooching

Mrsmadevans · 14/10/2019 18:55

Wreck l deferred my DH for him because he is useless at any official forms Grin because his Mum was in hospital dying, there were no issues they were very good about it.
I have been called twice and bloody loved it Grin lot of waiting about the place though Hmm & surprisingly a lot of the cases were dropped by the CPS even when the cases were started , it was quite disappointing Grin. 'I find him guilty m'lud! ' Grin

WreckTangled · 14/10/2019 19:29

NoWordForFluffy · 14/10/2019 19:30
