When a job's done, its DONE! :D

Morning All. :D Still here, with you lovely lot. :) A bit of a lie in today. Have a super Remembrance Sunday.

Ladies in the works cafeteria used to say "what you having for lunch Jimmy?" LOL At the next job I had a Manager ask me to sit down and not turn around and then he brought the sales team in one by one and asked them what they thought and the all went oh yeah that's uncanny. Eventually I turned...

When I do selfies I am always sure to put the "ugly-filter" on the camera so I come out more ....

They shouldn't give dogs choccies, it is very bad for them. ;)

Morning All. :D Mild & dry here. :) Got the paper and some petrol (lazy boy, I went in the car). :) Have a super Saturday. :D
