    The son of the lady who had her baby today is so sweet. He was convinced for a long time that mummy had both a boy and a girl in her tummy (she didn't know which she was having). Apparently today he's been telling her tummy that his brother is still in there, as only a girl has appeared. He also told someone at church that the new baby was called Oliver (the baby is called Eirianwen). His big sister is delighted as she wanted a sister.

    Morning all....

    Not a great night sleep last night and I struggled to get up. Lots on my mind at the mo.

    EC that's cute.... Small kids can be so innocent and adorable.

    Can't believe it's Monday again however I'm only at work 4 out of 5 this week but it's not for a rest day I assure you lol.

    OH has gone down south again and I'm meeting the chunky monkey baby tonight.... Ooooooh, can't wait for snuggles!

    Thanks Idl / hMichelle I'll call my boss about it and run it by him .. I'm worried that the company might she it as bribery because I've given the supplier a massive foot up in the business reccommending my locations to them a go but that's because they are so much quicker and cheaper than the alternatives.

    Initially they were only in Newcastle and now they're in just about all my locations
    Edinburgh, glasgow, York, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool but all the locations have a choice still they don't have to use this company but the service levels are so much better. I've also arranged a meeting with them with my boss next week to discuss the rebate that they offered us before Christmas in more detail to get the ball rolling and my manager is on about setting up more of a nationwide network with them whereby all locations the company covers will have to use them due to much quicker service and cost ... I'm worried the company will think I've only given them the leg up because of our rapport but it makes total business sense to support them and reccommend them to locations as the locations that do use them give them nothing but excellent feedback and ask where they've been all their lives!

    I'm feeling the same today - cba!
    Taking my little sister to an interview at 10.30 at c0$t@ then mum said when I get back let her know as we're going to the party shop to order a huge present bow for the top of my car for sisters birthday on 23rd and also want a quote for a bunch of led me and Mrs butler balloons for the wedding to do a mass release

    Well I've emailed my boss about the gift but I'm fairly sure I'll have to turn it down as I called my colleague about it and he too said it's likely to be seen as bribery even though we know it isn't :(

    Shame as I love the hotel and really wanted to try out the spa there plus I feel really terrible having to turn down an act of generosity.

    I've left the suppliers name out of the email as I don't want them to get in trouble for being seen to be possibly using bribery

    Just had the gas man back from Friday and he said we didn't need to have a vent as the manufacturers info said it has one built in so he just fitted a cut off switch and went! Getting my nails done at 12 so trying to get as much work done as I can so I can stop and have my lunch then too!

    At least you can use it now knowing it's safe! We should be hearing from a plumber this week - hot tap on our bath has gone reaaallly slow, it takes forever to run a bath. We even had to run the shower over the weekend so the bath tub would fill up more quickly! I think the tap has just worn out and just needs replacing. We had the same prob with the sink taps a few months ago.

    Fingers crossed it is easy to sort, I remember that happened when I lived with my parents and it was the boiler pressure wasn't high enough so the water didn't run very fast.

    I'm fairly sure it's just the tap as it doesn't twist very far now, I think a part inside the tap has worn out. The water pressure everywhere else is fine so must be the tap.

    had an awful night sleep last night, feel very light headed and strange today! very weird, It feels like that disconected feeling I get after a migraine but I havnt had a migraine,
    I suffer from 2 types of migraines on a regular basis one is a chronic headache that can last upto 3 weeks with occassional spikes which leaves you feeling weak and and the other is the head exploding pain type with full on visual disturbances, sometimes loss of vision, nausea, vomiting etc and normaly lasts less than 24 hours, the latter is normaly followed by a light headed, disconnected strange feeling for about 24 hours which is how I feel today!

    I woke up a few times last night. Got woken up at about 6:00 by a dog barking somewhere. Once I'd gone to the loo I couldn't get back to sleep before the alarm went for hubby to get up. I did go back to sleep eventually, but it was broken and I really struggled to get up, I snoozed the alarm an awful lot and didn't leave myself time to sort anything for lunch, so I'll have to buy something in town.

    It's going to waste emily :( gutted .. I've told the supplier and they've not come back to me yet - I suggested nominating a member of their staff to take it for their work ethic but they've not replied.

    In the meantime we've just got our company car choices through and I'm so blooming stuck!

    I have the choice between g0lf - easily written off after my accident!


    @3 s line saloon - 1.6 works out £83 per month company car tax
    @4 ultra saloon - 2.0 works out 92.30 per month
    B/\/\w 2.0 hybrid auto with nav - 32.35 per month
    M3rc cl@ 2.1 95.20 per month

    My wicked side is saying the cl@ is one sexy car but then sensible me is saying I don't need flash so go for b/\/\w which is three times cheaper than the others

    What would you ladies choose?!

    That's such a shame Becci! At our place they have costing limits to gifts. All I ever get is pens diaries and calendars. nothing exciting or even valuable enough to claim.

    I go for the B/\/\W (I love how you hid that btw... made me smile) being a hybrid is better for the environment and petrol bills.
    Although I have no idea what the rest of it means or what the cars look like...

    Top two are @ud1s and the bottom a m3rc g00gl3 them they're sexy the decision is too hard!



    The b/\/\w is 48.7 mpg though so I would have a fuel deficit every journey I do so wouldn't get all my fuel money back from business travel
