I hope your daughter's reasonably okay now.
Sprog will cope thanks, the other kids will enjoy graffiting the leg. Credit to the OH who dealt with the initial crisis, I just came along when the drugs were kicking in

Bosses eh? Sometimes outright hostility is better than transparent attempts at reconcilliation ... I think a career change is in order ...

There's a fresh round of redundancies in the air at my company so everyone in my office is relieved that I'm handing my notice in next week. It's almost a farewell present to them

pity you can't get a redundancy package to fud your migration.......





Changing the subject slightly, if one is sneakily feeding one's friends dog on onion & garlic flavoued crackers, because one's friend is asleep, ho many crackers should one feed said dog, bearing in mind it will be breathing on said friend in the morning?

Well the dog seems to have survived, is now sat on my foot and seems to have adopted me as a friend for life so she obviously liked the biscuits She does keep emitting dainty little farts that smell strongly of onions though
