    Recent early retirement from the NHS, ex Casualty sister, ex HR manager, ex clinical risk manager - all with the acute sector NHS. All good fun, and it continues now. Life was and is good.

    Hey Windy, don't say you feel inferior adding your post :( Sounds like you do a very worthwhile job and work very hard. Each and everyone of us are just as important [​IMG]
    PS I am also underpaid and want to win the lottery :D

    Being a joiner, with the occasional trips to sites, I,ve been in some.
    Been joining bits of wood for the last 36yrs, only got to last out another 14, then they dump me.
    Great life aint it. :D

    Pete,
    Full English and 2 toast for �£2.75! I give the verbal abuse for free :D It's a great laugh, but hard work. The only job I've ever had where I can swear at people and no-one bats an eyelid :D The site's coming to an end soon and as yet we haven't got another one to go to. So looks like it's shelf stacking at Asda for me :(
    Marge, yep I'm just about in the ground myself. Trouble is I'd have to dig the hole myself :D
