    RR - A quick spray with WD40 and a good buffing with a rag , will make them look quite a bit better :blue thumb:

        7 hours? pfftttt!!!! you don't know you're born, clueless ;)

        my hubbys been doing at least 20hrs overtime a week for the last few months. The last time he had a holiday was end of May. He's expected to run a 2 man pig unit by himself as well as doing the maintenance and pressure washing! He's not even on managers wage. He hates having a holiday because it's always a sh*thole (his word) when he returns, cos no-one works to his standard. He occasionally gets a hand from Will, who lives ON THE UNIT, when Will's not being made to go 40miles to the workshop to do maintenance jobs. In harvest, Will goes on the fields or slurry carting so he can't help hubby by working every other weekend on the pig unit.

        I keep telling hubby to take a bloody holiday, it's not his concern if they don't have enough holiday relief to cover him. He's had cold for over a month now because he's tired and his body can't recouperate. Of course, he won't go to the docs......

        I shouldn't complain though, we need the overtime he does or we'd be very hard up.
        Just would be nice to see him occasionally when he isnt eating, moody or sleeping :(
