    I'm normally on my own in the office anyway so no one ever knows! When my boss is in he sits opposite me so can't see my screen anyway, and the other 2 guys wouldn't give 2 cr@ps what I was doing anyway hahaha but they also sit at the other end of the office. I just have to make sure I click off it (and anything else I shouldn't really be on) when they go to make a cuppa lol.

    Bagged myself a trip out of the office on Thursday. We are carrying out a refurbishment/painting and decorating social value initiative to a learning centre for a homeless charity in Newbury so I'm off to see the work in action and get some pictures. Colleague has also suggested we grab some lunch together so should be good xx

    Newbury.... my surname lol.

    We have a policy that all screens are to be turned outwards so they can be seen!!! its a pain. luckily though i have editing software programmes on my PC so they probably wouldnt realise anyway lol

    I just make sure screens are restored when I leave the office, but to be honest if I didn't nobody would even really see it unless they sat at my desk! xx

    The only thing that worries me is that as a very large PLC company we have a huge IT department.. I am pretty sure they are able to monitor peoples' activities and I would definitely be breaching the "fair use policy" lol. Never had a problem yet though and as long as I meet all my deadlines and targets, which I do, then that's all that matters!

    OK so I am awaiting one more load of poop to be thrown at me today. They come in threes. First was my bank balance, second was that I got in the car, drove off and thought it felt strange, was driving on an uneven road and sometimes it pulls the steering wheel, drove off that road onto another and still it was like it, stopped, got out and had a flat tyre so drove it back home, fortunately had only got around the block. Text hubby asking if the pump we had in the shed was ok for the car, he said no and I would have to take it to the garage, which I pointed out I could not. He said why?? Ermmm because it is flat!!!!!!! So he said is there anywhere you need to go then as he would call his dad, so I said no I would go into town and get a couple of bits instead of going to the bigger supermarket. He then text saying his dad was on his way round, this was after I had left the house and gone into town. So he said I had to wait for him, to which I said I cannot if I am not in and I had said that I would not need him and I would go in to town instead! That'll probs be my third thing, having hubby gob off at me because he ignored what I said to him.

    Gf you really don't sell this children idea haha. My oh's messiness is enough for me think I'd explode if I had children's mess to contend with too lol.

    Sounds like you've had a pretty rubbish day so far :( does your car not have the compression kit to let you pump air in just to limp it to a garage?

    Had a fairly productive day today! Making reports I've never made before to really crack down on my locations that don't listen to a word I say ... Got to the stage where I now realise that everything I give them must have a completion date and I must go back and check every location has done every task so if they don't I have a firm leg to stand on to give them a good talking to with the regional director!

    Just had an exam. Absolutely could not remember what p= in the formula ( why they can't just say what is is beyond me) took a wild stab at it. Came outside, checked the notes and by sheer dumb luck it was right so I think I might have just scrapped a pass. Thank god. Nice easy afternoon lecture to look forward to as well which is good because my brain is fried.

    I've been asked if I had pics of my eldest and his boy together as his GF wants to make a canvas up, been looking through the pics on the computer and looked through ones that hubby had on his in case he had some, found a selfie of a woman?????? have taken a pic of it and sent it asking who it is, so I am guessing I am now going to get abuse thrown at me saying oh you think I am having an affair now, instead of something along the lines of of it's so and so, or I have no idea.

    Picked LO up from nursery and he's got it on him big time as he's tired.

    The girl at nursery asked how his potty training is going at home as he won't sit on the potty long enough to do anything. He keeps doing it in his pants/ trousers. I told her it was the same at home

    Well that's a first, instead of him doing what I thought he said it was a friend's cousin and he screen shotted it as it kept coming up on his friends he may know and she had the same surname.

    Where does he work could it just be a co worker pratting about?

    Went to unload the dishwasher after setting it off for a second time because it hadn't cleaned anything very well and the things were still dirty! Grr. Decided I better investigate a bit further and there appeared to be grass growing through the water jet holes on the spinning arms!? Wtf!?! Tried pulling it out and ended up making matters worse because now the tips of the grass like substance are in the arm of the spinner thing itself .. I've owned up to oh so he can deal with that issue tonight lol!

    He's a builder. Don't know why he screenshotted it though, seems odd, why not just say oh who is so and so who keeps coming up on my friends you may know, not screen shot it. Strange, but there you go.

    Just trying to find out costs of tyres if it is down to that. I think it might just be a flat though as I looked at it the other day and thought I must see if that needs air, it was OK then though. Not driven it since Saturday afternoon and it has been parked up the road since.

    A guy just knocked at the door dropping off a "tuck box" of lots of goodies... the idea is to raise money for charity, if anyone wants anything from the tuck box they have to pop in 70p and they come back weekly to refill/top up the box. Told him it might not be much good for us as there is not many of us in this office... but could be very dangerous for me!!!!

    Yeah I thought it was a good idea, especially in offices like mine where there is not a vending machine or anything and not many shops nearby etc... he is just trialing it at the moment but I thought it was a good idea. You're right though, I bet not everyone would put the money in or the right amount.

    Gf - probably a slow puncture (nail or screw in the tyre) these are totally repairable provided they're in the main tread of the vehicle and usually only about £12 to be repaired ... If it's been run flat for some distance which it doesn't sound this is the case the sidewall may now be damaged in which case a replacement would be required but in the first instance say you would like a repair and then if they say it's not possible ask why not
