Hi all, I need to make a move as well, one more cuppa and then I'm away.

We've got sunshine as well but it's nippy, hope it warms up a bit.

Good luck for this afternoon Maz.

Just dropping by to see how Maz got on before starting dinner.

I have a 'serious' question for you to get your little grey cells around regarding my board name which is so....boring! Any suggestions? I'd still like to use the intials to start with.

Will try to pop back later this evening if the comp hasn't crashed again.

Maz, I think in that line of work there will always be courses to keep up to date with health and safety.

You'll probably enjoy the courses.

How are you today ?

YG Report 7 Oct 2010 22:08

Whoops, I fell asleep!! And I'm fighting off a very tickly cough! A few at work have had the bug and I hoped I had escaped, but not so sure tonight!!

Apart from that, I am ok!! Hopping mad though, cos some b*****d has stolen all my solar lights from the front garden! You'll never find your landing spot now if you decide to visit on your broomstick!

LaGooner Report 7 Oct 2010 22:21

Oh dear I shall have to use the laser to light my way. That could be dodgy though with a few singed cats and plants LOL. I feel very tired as last night I had so much pain in my legs it kept me awake most of the night.

I think you must have nodded off again YG, so I will say nite nite to you and to all the others as I have an early start tomorrow. x

Wow - what a lot of trials and tribulations!

Glad to hear the session was interesting Maz. Don't be suprised if they tax you at 20% for this job as its your second. It would probably be worth your while filling in a Self Assesment thingy next April to get it back or credited. My earned income is waaaayyy less than my personal allowance at my main place of employment so I don't get taxed, but they tax me at 20% at the other one where I probably only work 10 hours max per year.

Sorry to hear of the aches and pains and sniffles. You are both working too hard - well its a good excuse for a day off. Are you going to report the solar light theft to the local bobbies, or just write if off?

Thank you for the suggestions - I'm tossing up between DETective (but is it too presumptious?) and DETermined...or perhaps DET with squiggles? Think I'd better sleep on it. Night all.

Hi Ya! Hope today is better for the invalids than yesterday.

OH was intending to cut the back grass, but it is misty and may not dry out. Sigh.

What do you think of the board name? Might add some squiggles to it later.

Pauline $(*-*)$

Pauline $(*-*)$ Report 8 Oct 2010 11:17


I like the board name DetEcTive, good idea to split the uppercase letters - can we call you Det for short, or do you want your full title?

Not much point putting any washing out here, it's really misty. I thought the forecast was for good weather today.

A couple of years ago, my brother's wife put a dozen solar lights in her front garden, the next morning there was only one left. Whoever took them mustn't have seen that one. We only put them in the back garden.

Maz, are you getting double time for going to a conference on a Saturday?

Hope you got some sleep last night LG, can't have you falling off your broomstick.

+++DetEcTive+++ Report 8 Oct 2010 11:25

Morning Pauline - yes you can call me DET. I'm signing that on posts on other threads until people get used to it. Seen too many squabbles when a new name pops up! I've also discovered wingdings, but the ones I like won't 'take'. Boo, hoo.

The sun is trying to break through, so fingers crossed for the silage making this afternoon.
