I hope so. As usual wrong place at the wrong time. I was going to ask her out on a date.

Aww

Still, it pays to be friendly. She might have a gorgeous friend to fix you up with.

Major grump coming up!!! *WARNING*

I'm with two brokers for various insurances on cars and properties, and have been for years. One is fab - not only on price but on customer service. God knows how many people he deals with, but every time I call he knows exactly who I am, which is lovely, and he's also great at making sure I don't pay more than I need to and that I'm always covered. The other one's been insuring a couple of properties for ages and has been good enough on price so I've just let things ride.

So, after informing broker 2 of a change of circumstances which might affect my premiums (blah, blah, blah) last week by email and being told thanks for letting us know, I just picked up another email telling me that they can't action anything without a poxy £25 fee, which means that for the want of a poxy £25 fee a property has been uninsured over the weekend and remains so until I deal with the **** who emailed me first thing tomorrow. No one's picking up the sodding phone right now. Dicks!

I might have to pay up the poxy £25 fee because it'll be more expensive to tell them to stick their policy where the sun don't shine, but tomorrow I'll explain to them why I'm *disappointed* with them and I guess that when it comes to renewing that policy I'll be scaling down to just the one broker.

I feel a tad better now I've ranted.

Do not watch if easily offended by violence and frequent swearing. One of Martin Scorsese's best films, IMO. The end scene is quite disturbing, without giving out spoilers.

Hi, chaps - hope everyone had a decent weekend!

Ours has been busy in a pleasant familyish way AND - all the vibes have worked! Mr M has GOT A JOB - the one he interviewed for last Thursday. He didn't find out till half five today, so he was pretty much certain he *hadn't* got it. Best surprise for a long time! \o/ \o/ \o/

Melony is booked to spend tomorrow at the childminder's, as it happens, so we'll spend the day celebrating while she has a play day. Result!

Thanks, jra.
We were starting to get a bit edgy cos my job finishes at the end of August. Squeaky Bum Time, as Alex Ferguson once memorably phrased it.

That's superb news Handy - I'm so happy for you both and melony of course! It's so easy to let these things get you down, but he's kept soldiering on and this is his reward! Magnificent stuff.

Here all is ..... well, all is as it is Just had a phonecall that they want me all day tomorrow - how could they not? I'm awesome! Trouble is it means I have to work in the freezer all day and it;s not a good place to be when you're still getting over a cold - but at the end of the day, it's double my normal hours for the day, so next week we can have a treat! I'm so looking forward to the weekend!

Naughty day today. Where is my plane ticket for Australia. We are are supposed to be fixed up on a date.

Seriously.

In latest news, I went out with one of my tenants last night. Nothing like that before you ask.

I came out to my dad about my sexuality.

I've been rejected again by a lovely forum member.

Ha! I don't think my extra hours at my hourly rate quite run to treating you to a plane ticket UK to Australia. Dammit! Besides I no longer own a posh frock for a date - d'oh! You're always naughty anyway, nothing special about today

Plums, I think "lovely" is *exactly* the adjective we'd all choose to describe you

Hands up everybody who thinks Plummie is lovely?

*raises hand*

I like either. Flesh coloured or yellow. The former has something rather special that a lot of blokes like.

Hi Ima. Yes, I guess I'm being very naughty today. Can I hide under the duvet with you, with both of us giving ourselves very good vibes.

Well that's improved my day already, I have a potential under the duvet date - woop woop! and with all the vibrations I've got Good Vibrations on the brain, if I'm humming that all day there'll be trouble!

Sadly now I must depart .... oh woe! Sleep well when you go
