Well what a day so far!!

I've been stuck on another office to cover someone who is off as I'm the only one who knows the job that can be spared. So an earlier start and lots to do which is ok as the day is flying by.

Well a pump from one of the offices kitchen sinks needed repairing (Turns out it needs replacing) so an engineer took it out and brought it through reception and it smelt bad, REAL bad [xx(]

I had to run outside and yes I was sick [:(]

It's stunk the whole of the 2nd floor out and the workers are in revolt, they called me twice to get the windows opened as we have the key but one of my colleagues from another building (Estate Manager had ordered this to be done 30 mins earlier) was in process of going round shutting and locking them all so the aircon would work and I could not get hold of him or go see him as am not allowed to leave the reception desk.

Then when I did get hold of him he would not re-open without the estate manager saying ok, cue the estate manager to have gone walkabout without a radio......he would not take my executive decision to just do it and I'll take the flak......it took the workers coming down and kidnapping him to sort that one out lol and I for one do not blame them.......

I've had a weak stomach ever since I had stomach problems in my early twenties.

Not sure how I'll cope if I am ever blessed with kids and smelly nappies lol.

One of the (many!) reasons I haven't got children and don't intend to have them!

Haha. I have over a dozen nephews and nieces and used to be able to change em.

I can't wait to have kids myself, love em to bits. But the nappy thing is putting me off.

I've got 2 godchildren and I stay well out of the way when there's a nappy issue!

I can barely cope with the cat litter tray, and on the occasions Harry's had a dodgy tummy I've made Dave empty the tray!

Ooh I'm not good either, never do dog poo or anything! Luckily mine only go in the garden and that is hubby's job! x
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

Well our loos are all out of order at the moment due to a blockage (there are toilets in another block we can use fortunately!) and it does whiff sometimes!

Hubby does most of the dog poo, but I will do it. Will also clean up when they have been sick as well.

Not out of choice though!

I spent an hour (along with one of my female colleagues!) last Saturday at work mopping up from a flood in the photographic department after one of the workers (male!) left a tap running!

On this occasion it was! Have to say that the head of the department (also male!) bought us ladies a bottle of wine as a thank you!
