I can't - that's why I need a bigger house.

I was expecting to get £240K for our house if we sold it. However, the chap 3 doors up has a house the identical layout to ours, has just put it on the market for £270, and has already received offers of £260K. And our house is in much better nick than theirs. So that's promising.

Much better nick?

His doors must be fucking atrocious!

Are you suggesting that someone, in the past, has smashed C's back doors in?

Zardoz · **Posted:** Fri May 04, 2012 15:38

No, they're always left wide open.

Heh. For those that haven't seen it, my bedroom door is...well, 'improvised' would be generous.

On the other hand, it suddenly looks like a good week for after work drinks at the wharf.

Just a week? Part timer \o

Plissken · **Posted:** Tue May 08, 2012 16:40

Interview tomorrow and Thursday.

I really want the gig tomorrow, TBH. Assuming it turns out to be what it promises on the tin.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue May 08, 2012 16:50

Just been given a £2,500 pay rise.

:metul:

Curiosity · **Posted:** Tue May 08, 2012 17:06

Nice one Zardoz. You see, you CAN sleep your way to the top!

Plissken · **Posted:** Tue May 08, 2012 17:09

Blackmail pays off. Good work.

Also, I'd better not say what pay-rise I got last week then

MaliA · **Posted:** Tue May 08, 2012 18:56

Interview for the job I'm currently doing soon. Crossing fingers.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue May 08, 2012 19:51

Fingers crossed for you.

MaliA · **Posted:** Tue May 08, 2012 19:55

Cheers, well done, you, too.

MaliA · **Posted:** Tue May 08, 2012 22:18

Sweets! I won a £10 gift voucher in a 'guess the number of jelly beans in the jar' thing! Ace day!

nickachu · **Posted:** Wed May 09, 2012 7:36

Asked for a pay rise last week. Got told yesterday I'm getting a 40p rise. Woo! Extra 50 or do quid a month.

Malc · **Posted:** Wed May 09, 2012 8:30

I assume that was 40p an hour?

My pay rise this year was just over 1%, last year it was 2% the preceding 2 years it was nothing. Currently living off my Overtime (being on call every other weekend)

Could really do with my Take home pay being my pretax pay!

Malc

nickachu · **Posted:** Wed May 09, 2012 8:33

Yeah an hour. And apparently the union for the area I work with is forcing another rise or something too, so it might go up even more

Been asked to return to the job I had before I went to Tennessee - only a short contract initially but could lead to some more things and at least it will get me out the house.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Tue May 15, 2012 11:49

Great stuff!

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25753

kind of a mini-yay, this.

I had a necklace that kind of meant a lot to me, but it's really been in the wars and got into a terrible state last year.

I didn't think I would ever get it back to how it looked, but after a bit of time and patience with silver cleaner, it's back to some shiny glory.

I'm so relieved and surprised to get it back to looking like this!

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25753

OK, so pics are sideways. No idea why, but you can still see the colour difference.

Goddess Jasmine · **Posted:** Wed May 16, 2012 16:14

That's lovely Mimi.

Good work Mimi. There's something immensely satisfying about making something you thought was knackered like new again.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Wed May 16, 2012 16:21

That looks great..

I saw them on your knitting blog.. i am not sure why I was looking on your knitting blog as I can't knit

Mr Virgin Media turned up this morning as the internet has been fairly rubbish since I got back from Amsterdam...he looked at my prehistoric modem and declared that this was probably the issue and that he'd swap it out for a super hub thingy. As normal I offered the gentleman a cuppa and left him to sort it out for me. Got back and found that he had upgraded me from 20 meg to 60 meg and everything is working as it should.

Lovely.

Having the afternoon off work is pretty yay, I reckon. Nice sesh at the gym. No yoga, but I will have a lovely bath.

Mr Dom · **Posted:** Fri May 18, 2012 20:57

Think I need to start posting here, as it is all too upbeat for the nay thread...

Griffs clotting time is down to 19 seconds, so they have officially taken him off the transplant list and downgraded him from 'acute liver failure and multiple organ failure' to 'chronic liver failure with hepatic jaundice' which hopefully is treatable with diet (extra calories and fluids) and oral medications (diaretics)! He has gone from 50% mortality when he first went into ICU to 'good chance he will recover fully' Basically, he is bright yellow which hopefully will clear up over the next few months. If it doesn't, he may need a partial transplant, but it is not urgent any more and there's every hope that it won't come to that.
He still needs to be weaned off the last medications, but they are down to 1 IV which is currently off in the hope he doesn't need it any more but there if he does...
All in all... YAY!

Absolutely fantastic. Hopefully you'll all be home soon and putting all this behind you.

Wonderful news.
