Train trade number 12 rest and pub stop

[Wendywu]

Ah bugger!

That's brekkie shovelled down, and now I have to go to Sainsbury's and visit with the in-laws.

What I want to do is go and visit "my" rowing machine at the gym but I have to wait until Monday ....

Back later

MMmmm yes. I bought myself an early Valentines They were yummy...and then totally nauseating... and then yummy again

How've you been, Wendy? All good your way?

Isn't that how you clean???

Well, it was actually a LifeSavers factory, as a teenager in my school holidays, and MasterCraft was incorporated into it somehow...

I love Lucy... how??????

Oh... and best of luck with the house hunting, Jesii... That you haven't found anything yet probably just means that the best is yet to come!

Thanks! Me and Naj were agreeing last night (in the dark, cold wet road waiting for the girl who didn't turn up) that everything happens for a reason!

Thanks! It did turn into a great evening though, we went to the chippy on the way home, sat at the kitchen table eating them, then I went to pre-drinks at a friends house, and when the people I went with, disappeared off to the club ( i had a ticket to go) I totally missed them leaving so spent the evening having fun with new people, went back to a friends flat and ended up eating pizza at 3 in the morning. It was very fun

Serious I was.... even though I am of the original ILL vintage TV viewing... or close enough! That skit differed to my experience... We did stand at conveyor belts, checking for reject wrappers and undoing those that were faulty... The older woman who worked in the factory (wow... ding-a-ling... There were only women, and my two male friends from school always ended up elsewhere!!!) ... so... the older women who worked there loved we school people, because we broke their boredom, so they told us to take reject lollies home...

We asked if that was illegal, or punishable, and they said "No... you'll be right... but if there is an alarm...." So, we guessed it wasn't really alright, but our superiors were stuffing our bags full of 'rejects'... then, one afternoon, an alarm went off... "get rid of everything" they yelled... "Throw it in the toilet". Excitement plus... no... that was actually the exciting bit! Our assembly lines went very much slower than Lucy's, and our greatest concern was falling asleep on the job! he he!!!!
