flouncy, you didn't want to look like a boy racer? Grin

Ahh Mrs, once you know what you are doing it will feel much easier, although saying that maybe not as the patients you are dealing with can be very unpredictable Grin

Both my shoulders hurt, I think it's a combination of about 3 different things, so roll on half term and my birthday weekend off for my 1st job.

Dh is still in agony, he'd better phone his dentist again tomorrow, he's in bed already and I can hear him snoring, this is not like him at all.

Fanny we bought ours from Motorpoint , we picked one from a Motorpoint somewhere else and they sent it to Newport, we looked at it and decided against it , we sent for another one we liked the look of and it came and we knew it was the one, she was the car of an elderly man who passed away , we got the log book and bless him we saw he had done 3 services in 7,000 miles , we were so lucky she is just a lovely car . I think Fiestas are such good cars. I can see why they hold their prices . Ours is the most basic too but she's lovely Grin l know l am talking as if she is a person but after someone went into me in our focus , l was so upset & l felt so vulnerable and then we got this car and l was fine in her. I still won't drive the DH Hyundai Grin
Why you sound as if you are enjoying this job already , well done m'dear! l hate cleaning too lol ! Weirdly l don't mind cleaning for other ppl though how daft is that! Grin
PJ I know l am repeating myself lol , l couldn't get it to post Grin and in my impatience l pressed the button ......a lot Grin

It is 🥶 here this evening. DH and I are both under blankets on the sofa. We're watching Band Of Brothers, have any of you seen it? Amazing buy harrowing at the same time.

I enjoyed Silent Witness MrsMad, much better this week than the last few.

flouncy you are a racer! Xmas Grin
I'm not into sporty looking cars but I like a fun, fast car mini. Also love a big 4x4 and will definitely own another one someday.

why are you enjoying the new job though?

PJMasksGhekko · 06/02/2020 21:36

I'm not sure what ones he's on flouncy, but I don't think it's the strong ones, he can be a moody sod anyway, this is not helping Grin He's been going work still though.

I do love you mrs, you make me laugh Grin

Crazy, we love BoB! Which episode are you on? We watch on Blu Ray with surround sound, which is disconcerting as it sounds like you're getting shot from across the room! It's so good but, as you say, harrowing too.

Flouncy, I love the idea of you as a boy racer!

PJ, my mum swears by salt water to cure all ills too. Worth a shot for your DH.

Mrs, your multiple posts were funny!

I'm still stupidly busy at work. God knows what's going on, but it's never ending.

Hi Crazy, yeah I am enjoying the job. It will be amazing when we go live.

CrazyBaubles · 06/02/2020 22:18

Band of Brothers is WWII flouncy
It's like a spot-the-star-before-they-we're-famous series!
Fluffy DH has watched it twice before but it's first time for me.
We've just watched the episode where they're all in trying to maintain a line in the snow with almost no medication, food or warm clothes.

why glad to hear it!

We're giving in and going to bed. I have project 2 meeting tomorrow with some higher ups that make me nervous so going to try and get a good few hours so at least I'm not tired in the morning 😴

NoWordForFluffy · 06/02/2020 22:30

Ah, the Bastogne bit, Crazy! DH and his best man sometimes text each other little jokes about that, basically saying you're not cold, it's not the Bastogne!

The bombs splitting the trees is so scary too. Horrifying what those poor lads went through.

Mrsmadevans · 06/02/2020 22:34

Fanny! How very dare you l am shocked to my core the poor car Grin Grin l would love a red defender drool
Fluffy, l am so impatient l just kept pressing Hmm what on earth is happening in your work ! Flowers
Crazy it was excellent l like it a lot , not too sure about BoB , l can't watch sad things , l dwell on it Hmm hopeless !
PJ the feeling is mutual Smile , you & Why are just like Fluffy , good eggs the three of you Smile
I better get to bed Mum to sort in the morning Smile
Night everyone Smile

Morning!

I think it's probably cold outside. I'll find out soon enough!

Mrs, it's just a perfect storm of everything needing attention at the same time. My task list is mental (for me, not in comparison to others!) and there's bits and bobs I'm not getting to quickly enough. It annoys me! I'll get there though!

Morning. It is freezing here and my car is frozen solid. I need to shift myself so I can chip it out ready to go to work. I am in my own town today so that isn't too bad. Then I have the weekend off.
