    Pretty shitty here at the moment, having to let about 15 people go at work which is fecking awful seeing as I recruited most of them :(


    that is indeed shite. :cry:

    you know whats weird... i still dont know one person out of my family and friends up here who has had their job lost... whether its because we have no industry as such, or i have no friends/family in construction/motoring/engineering/etc... no doubt it'll happen to one of them soon... i hope not though... its quite scary though... bills to pay and debts... i know my sister couldnt cope if she lost her job... way too much stuff on credit.. and she rents so she has no 'capital' to speak of.... scary :o

    hope all is well with you though Davester.... :)

    Yes can't complain personally although being in the automotive industry at the moment is pretty miserable, more bad news every day it seems!!!

    Even taking into account these losses we are massively up on where we were two years ago so should be able to ride this out... :?

    It's been a crazy year, weird that it takes snow to final bring things to a halt!!!

    How are you and yours? and what have I missed? :)

    aww I'm hoping the snow is making you all feel a little brighter, Al/Jen/Dunk even if that means just whatching the silly brits fall on their arses !
    on a bad note snow, arm sprin and our only employ braking his leg this wk (not at work) means we have not worked for 7ish days = no money coming in, I couldn't even teach and had a private lesson booked for this wk which would have been £££s coming in ~ on the up side tuesday was so much fun playing in the snow with the kids and we've been out this morning, the big park in Bath was full of adults and kids sledging, building snow men and generaly having fun. it was wonderful :D ~ plus we whatched Hotel Rowanda the other night so my mind is super happy to be Alive and have food & shelter :P ... I know you all you that but its good to have a reminder!

    Dave have your cats tryed the snow??? saw lots of dogs out there but no sign of cats.

    emmi its just such a treat, you have to have a snow day !

    hello all...
    flew back from skiing holiday on sunday evening (all limbs intact and fully functional ;) ) and as we were coming in to land i looked out the window and thought "that's odd, it looks like it's snowing..." and Lo! for it was indeed... we must have brought it back from France with us...
    woke up Monday morning to travel chaos so had the day off work and built snowmen, threw snowballs, and generally just acted my mental age... great fun! :D
    been back at work since Tuesday and it's been sooooooo quiet... anyone would think universities were full of slackers and ne'erdowells or something... 8-)
    looking forward to the weekend, a few beers, and then the possibility of more snow on Monday... more travel chaos... another day off work... now that'd be a shame, wouldn't it...
    Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?

    I don't know why haven't I been around here more often. :|

    it's not that I'm busy or anything. hmm.

    well, I guess I'll just have to make a bigger effort.

    though not today cause I'm seeing my sis (and grandma and dad) before she's whisking off to Nepal tomorrow (as one or two of you might know).

    hope all my lovelies are well!! :)

    Don't think there will be any surprises for me! I know card/flowers being sorted out but I think this year, that will be it. For some reason, G wants to be around so.... she will be cooking and serving us a three course meal (just like if we were going to a romantic restaurant, she said) and then hopefully disappearing in her room!

    well, what an exciting V-day for me, I'm working! *whoo* going out tonight though, hopefully that will include dancing. *crosses fingers*

    to be quite honest, I really don't care for Valentine's Day anyway.
