[QUOTE 4990668, member: 21629"]Those who wait always lose everything. I don't even want to know how many potential jobs I've just lost. I can actually bury certificates in my room until next August because it's too late for any forklift job, they are all gone by now.[/QUOTE]
I'd say, from experience, that the demand goes up at this time of year. Yes I don't drive, but I have worked in warehouses.

Sadly I'm on a diet. A protein rich diet but a diet all the same... And I'm allergic to dairy proteins (not intolerant to lactose but anaphylactic shock allergic) so life gets more complicated.

I've just had boiled 3 dozen more eggs, given away another dozen so only have 3 or so dozen left in the fridge that are fresh, excluding the 15 they will lay today!

Ah, c**k... Scrub that idea then. You can freeze eggs once they're cooked. And you can freeze egg whites for meringues. And egg yolks give a lovely richness to mashed potato.

Maybe make a job lot of omelettes, fill them with whatever, cool and then freeze individually. Quick and easy ready meals LOL.

Wasn't Valerian a poison used in an esipode of Midsomer Murders?

Well, I don't watch that, but given the properties of Valerian, it's highly unlikely. It's a mild sedative - you'll find it in a lot of "sleep easy" herbal teas.

Nope

I really do have a box of Pilchards... Pilchard, the cat from "Bob the Builder", that is. Needed them to do something for an upcoming cat show.

[QUOTE 4990688, member: 21629"]Yeah but you live in North and I live in South UK and things are different when talking about jobs. There are no cities in Kent - towns only and all industrial areas are widely scattered across Kent. I knew I won't get a big variety of FLT jobs at the end of September/beginning of October but wasting a whole month while waiting for paperwork completely put me off any FLT job this year. I also haven't got a car so I cannot apply for a job which is accessible by car only.

Well, sh1t happens.[/QUOTE]
I used to work split shifts in an out of the way area. Easy get to by car, but I used a bike instead. 250+ miles a weekend.

....and how is your knee progressing? Any better (apart from when you are carrying 6kg weights)?

Slight improvement, think I'll be back at work on Wednesday, just hope it holds up.

Those trousers come out for special occasions.

Not everyone can carry off wearing white trousers, but as you can see, I can

I see both of your trouser incidents were in hot climes. I've had sunstroke too. It's scary the effect it can have on someone with an exposed and vulnerable pate.

I've just got back from collecting a 12.75 kilo bag of wild bird seed and 2kg of peanuts from Wilco on the back of my trike.
Qooh and a packet of dope for the cats Catnip.

The speed these buggers are eating it, I'm now looking at getting a 30kg bulk pack.

Will work out much cheaper, and they deliver.

Awakened by crunching.
Reach to switch on bedside light.
No electricity.
Puppy happily munching through heater cable has tripped the relay.
It was turned off at the socket too!
Such fun.
