I've just seen a man standing up a ladder which was placed at a 45 degree angle - incredibly dangerous. Luckily he must have realised and has now placed it at a better angle. Just as a matter on interest, the official guidance from the Health and Safety department is that it should be at a 75 degree angle or the vertical height of the wall from bottom to where the ladder touches should be 4 times the horizontal distance from where the bottom of the ladder is to the bottom of the wall. That's assuming flat ground.

 

There are new flats being built near me and i feel ill seeing the men darting around the scaffolding, very high up 

A flower for Mr squiggle ...

  

squiggle I'm really pleased that your car passed the MOT without any problems And a happy birthday to the late mr squiggle, what a rare day to have been born on!

Excellent news about your MOT, Squiggle.

I hope today is filled with happy memories for you.

 

Hope you get a good deal on the Euros, Skylark.

 

 

 

Hi Yogi, not a bad deal. He is only going tomorrow morning till Friday teatime. He just phoned, his wages not in bank so can he owe me the money till he comes back  I want an IOU written in blood 

Good idea.

 
Annoying tho that some banks have put the wages through and his bank hasnt 
Off to get his bag packed , bye for now 

If you are only taking a sports bag on a flight does it need to be locked? It wont be hand luggage. Son had to lock his suitcase last time, but not taking it this time. Searched google, but not clear. 
Like this, it has a double zip that can be locked, but also has side pockets that cant be
 

Skylark, I found this on the Gatwick Airport website but if in doubt ask the airline for advice - it says can rather than must:

 

A:

Yes, you can still lock it – but baggage checked in the USA must either be left unlocked or locked with a special padlock approved by the US Transportation Security Administration (www.tsa.gov). Your airline will be able to give you further details.

Thanks El, i dont want him arriving at airport and cant get on the flight. He is flying with Easyjet and they can be a bit jobsworth 

Skylark, could he take the padlock with him and then ask at the check in desk..?

Was just going to post thats what we have decided! Doh  

That's lovely Skylark thank you.

Hope you have had a good day yourself squiggle 

Sister been on the phone, treating me to the cinema tomorrow. Going to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Have been looking at the revues, Not that good, but we shall just go and watch the film and make our own minds up. Not really that bothered about camera angles etc. Will let you know our revue ! x 

Middling really Skylark to be honest, the first real birthday without him is difficult for both my daughter and myself, but thanks for asking.

Squiggle.

Love to you and yours squiggle xx

Off to settle down, up at 3am to get the boy on the plane.
Goodnight everyone  

Squiggle thinking of you both, and I'll light a candle for you tonight. He sounds like he was a lovely, very special man

Skylark, I've not heard of that film but I hope you enjoy it many of my favourite films were panned by critics but I thoroughly enjoyed them.. You just never know! I watched Hairspray today, never seen it before but I enjoyed it

Its a new release Summer with Judy Dench and granny from Downton  Will let you know how it is, although it may be for an older audience. 

Goodnight xx 

I thought the clips I'd seen of it, looked good.

I look forward to your opinion of it.

Goodnight Skylark.

Sweet dreams skylark

Is your taxi on duty tonight yogi..?

Not tonight, son is staying at his GF's. I have the evening off, and I don't need to get up early in the morning to drag him out of bed for work.

Brilliant! will you lay in a little? I love the days where I don't have to battle the snooze button!

Thank you for your kind wishes, off to read now, speak to you tomorrow

I'll probably wake up at the usual time - that's what normally happens on the days when I don't need to get up.

Goodnight Squiggle.

Sweet dreams squiggle

Lol I know it well yogi, I wake at the same time every day and consider myself lucky if I can roll over and nod off again on my days off- it doesn't always happen though does it Any plans for tomorrow?

My car is going for its MOT, so keep your fingers crossed for me, please - and I've got to do the weekly grocery shopping when I get the car back.

Are you working tomorrow?

How much is your MOT Yogi?

 

They're 30 round these parts.

 

And good luck with it  

Thanks Velvet. I think it's around the £40 mark. The car was recently serviced and had the brakes redone, so I'm hoping it goes through without any major problems.

Fingers crossed for you yogi! MOT's always make me a little nervous Hi velvet

And yes I'm working tomorrow, Thursday's are my least favourite but I'll get through it lol I'm just going to get mr summer to put fake tan on me, so I'll brb but sweet dreams just in case you're gone before I return

Thanks Summer. MOTs make me nervous, too.

Oooh, clever Mr Summer.

If I let Mr Yogi put fake tan on me, I'd end up like a zebra.

Lol mr summer is very good at it, I'm new to this tanning malarkey so I'm grateful he's willing to do it for me. I'm using fake bake flawless, and for a girl with an Elizabethan complexion, it's a very good product I'm really missing cereal tonight, a bowl of crunchy nut would be lovely right now

I hope you now have a nice, golden tan, Summer.

Off for a read before bed. Goodnight, speak to you tomorrow.

Ros, hope all is well with you and we manage to synchronise our forum visits very soon.

Goodnight Velvet.
