        Aloha everyone,

        Although it was a nippy start yesterday we had a lovely warm and sunny day and I got a lot done in the garden.

        The town that the chiropodist is in is one that I rarely go to as the traffic and parking is awful. The chiropodist has his own parking spaces for his clients but not enough for me to be able to leave my car there and go into the shops. This time I decided that, as it was early in the morning, I would go into the shops and parked in the multi-storey car park of the shopping mall. I don't like parking in those places because I have a large car and the allocated space for each car is quite narrow, and I have difficulty opening my door wide enough (have to be careful of my back when getting out of a car). This time I was able to get on the end of a row so I had plenty of space. :blue thumb:

        I walked through to the high street and went into the only independent travel agent in the town. I've been booking many holidays with them over the years but have never actually seen them. I, originally, negotiated a special discount with them (can't do that with the major agents) on the basis that I will find out everything I need to know about what holiday we want and just pass the booking over to them. This has worked superbly over the years :). So when I went in there I introduced myself. I only had to mention my name and the staff all knew who I was because I'm their only customer that they have never met. As it was early they were not busy so we sat down, with a cuppa, and had a nice chat. All of them are lovely girls :dbgrtmb:. So now we can all put faces to names.:biggrin:

        I'm busy sorting out last minute things for the big tournament I'm running at the weekend. I'm just organising the helpers to help set the hall up on the day as there are lots of tables and chairs to be put out and loads of other things to get ready. It's an annual event that I've been running for 41 years. :phew: So I think I know by now what's needed :old: :heehee:

        Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

        Aloha!

                Hello!

                Positive vibes to you @wiseowl :grphg:, please let us know the outcome of the results :dbgrtmb:

                :grphg: Get well soon @moyra.

                Work has been hideous :thud: I'm not really complaining but jeez the last week has been crazy, mainly due to me having Sunday off to go on the seal trip....which was cancelled due to high winds :doh:, anyway we ended up at Cromer & had a great time, we went crabbing in the rock pools,, walked along the beach, had fish & chips, walked along the pier & visited the lifeboat station etc etc. It was very windy & chilly but that didn't seem to bother anyone especially the kids who run up & down the beach happily playing! I slept really well on Sunday night!

                Kevs new man started at work yesterday, hopefully that will take the pressure off a bit :fingers crossed:

                The red mite in the coop is certainly reducing in numbers but I still have a fight on my hands! I will win:paladin:.

                I hope you all enjoy your day, wrap up warm if you are off out:)

                  Good morning (ish) fellow WW'ers :thumbsup:

                  :grphg: I agree with the Vitamin C but, have you tried a hot toddy?

                  Hope she had a wonderful lunch and catch up with her ex colleagues :thumbsup:

                  Erm ... no, you weren't ... you were posting on here! :rasp:

                  :grphg: Well, I hope you've passed with flying colours! :grphg:

                  That's good news and I'll have my :fingers crossed: too. Reliable staff are worth their weight in gold!

                  Happy to report that Ozzy's upset tum was just that and no need for a visit to the vet :doggieshmooze: :phew:

                  Follow up interview this afternoon for #1 son and if that goes well, then it will only be one more hurdle to jump before he knows if he's got the job :fingers crossed:

                  Glorious sunshine outside, mustn't waste it ...

                  Smiles and vibes for all xxMxx (special Ozzy vibes added for our woo too :doggieshmooze: )

                          Aloha everyone,

                          @wiseowl that's great :hapydancsmil:.

                          It's another lovely sunny morning :SUNsmile:

                          But I was working on it - in my head :whistle:

                          I hope #1's interview went well :fingers crossed:

                          I went out with sister and B-i-L for a meal to celebrate his birthday (Mrs Shiney was at one of her flower clubs). It was a good meal with very pleasant staff and service at one of the big chains (Miller and Carter).

                          Today I'm having to go out for lunch with an accountant that I give some advice to. He's paying :blue thumb:. It's a hard life! :loll:

                          Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                          Aloha!

                            Good morning all, a cold one out there and will be even colder tomorrow so they say. Perhaps it will kill some of these virus going around at the moment.
                            Have a good day everyone, stay warm and dry and above all safe and well, God bless. :wub2:

                              Good morning fellow WW'ers

                              Bit of a chill in the air this morning but the weatherman reckons the sun will be out to play later.

                              Bet you're glad you didn't have the washing up to do afterwards :heehee:
                              Being busy is good; being busy and paid for it is very good! Long may it continue :dbgrtmb:

                              :hapydancsmil: Excellent news! :hapydancsmil:

                              :heehee: I feel your pain :doh: :roflol:

                              Aww, thank you! :) Well, he came out of it feeling very positive and the next stage is for him to go in for a couple of hours at the weekend. I think after that stage, if he impresses them, they offer him the job [​IMG] He still has a couple of backup applications, which are still in the pipeline, but he's set his sights on this one particularly.

                              @CanadianLori - hoping all is well in your world :thumbsup:

                              Tempus fugit!
