New thread!
I’ve found two so much more hard work (and expensive) than one, Queen

If anyone's struggling to find stuff for their Furry Overlords, I've just ordered Leroy his dry food (and some litter to get free delivery) from a company called Vetsend. Bit cheaper than other places too tbh.

Paws probably stole the custard then smeared it on Ollie. Like when one of dhs colleagues used to leave double decker wrappers in dhs car.

His own car. That wasn’t used for work. That was locked all day.

Supersimkin2 · 20/03/2020 20:19

That's shocking Fluffy - the lengths some people will go to for successful deception!

Me and Val have had a groom and a cuddle up. Lovely.

ClientQueen · 20/03/2020 20:21

Grin it was fresh custard in a tub and he just shoved his entire head in while making happy noises

Supersimkin2 · 20/03/2020 20:34

@Fluffycloudland77 and @ClientQueen did you see Boris on the 80 percent salary thing. It's backdated to Feb, so if you're isolating work can still pay you most of your salary without it costing them a penny.

Fluffycloudland77 · 22/03/2020 10:12

I’ve seen it, not sure if dhs work would allow it. He asked to move his desk offsite to down the road and that got refused.

It’s march, all they care about is getting new cars out. When they hold meetings dh stands outside the door.

Supersimkin2 · 22/03/2020 10:40

They might have trouble refusing now - there's been more pressure on people to stay home daily and next week he'll get a letter about it from GP.

that was Capn V purring and slapping the keyboard in agreement.

Bastard employers are going to be a big problem - let me see what pressure can be found to bear on them.

Fucking cunts. They are disgusting Flowers

Fluffycloudland77 · 22/03/2020 11:28

Yep, they are. I think that schemes only for people laid off. They won’t lay dh off because if he’s not there the salesman would have to get off their arses and do some work instead of watching YouTube clips all day and perving over the receptionists & cheating on their wives.

I don’t think he’s entitled to sick pay again after being off ill last year.

I have never seen the retired people around here go out so much as the last week.

@Fluffycloudland77 car dealership by any chance?! Sounds very much like my work Grin

Yes Queen. Prestige make too. If salesmen put the effort into selling that they do into getting the agency receptionist into the brochure cupboard.

ClientQueen · 22/03/2020 13:12

@Fluffycloudland77 GrinGrinGrin so familiar (I am prestige brand too) think f type/defender

Fluffycloudland77 · 22/03/2020 14:32

We should write a comedy based entirely on true stories. No one would believe any of it though.

ClientQueen · 22/03/2020 14:43

I'm in aftersales but yes, sales are all the same. I wore small holes fishnets to work once and I swear the entire sales team got no work done Hmm

Fluffycloudland77 · 22/03/2020 15:31

Sounds about right. At least you didn’t show your stocking tops to a salesman while your dh is also working in sales.

Whole lot of them need bromide in the coffee machine.

Supersimkin2 · 22/03/2020 16:56

DaffodilDaffodilDaffodilSame to you @Papergirl1968. DaffodilDaffodilDaffodil Here's to another year of our true vocations as Petcare Assistants.

Cars sound much more exciting than working in the media. Which for all the glam telly programmes set in publishing is just tufty-haired women doing 17 hour days and shouting Hi-res of a Persimmon!! Now!!!! with wild eyes.

If you don't know exactly what colour Persimmon, flying stapler in the face.

Mind you, the lunch breaks are cracking. No less than two Michelin stars on the three days a year you actually leave the office. No men, unless they're the owners ie needy millionaires. No, believe me, you simply can't fancy them.

4:35 Finished planting six pots of lilies, freesias, special double scented petunias, a fancy camellia.

4:36 Capn V comes back from the balcony with earth all over his plumy tail, looking suspiciously relaxed.

Allergictoironing · 22/03/2020 17:17

Planting lilies - presumably you didn't know they are toxic to cats? Sad That said, a neighbour with cats of her own kindly gave me a poinsettia plant a couple of years back (also toxic to cats).

Supersimkin2 · 22/03/2020 18:04

Yes I do, they're only bulbs and buried at the mo.

I think they are dead now anyway. Grin

ClientQueen · 23/03/2020 09:07

Is it bath time?
