*hands penny over* 
Can you wait till pay day at the end of the month for it back? 
Bloody interest rates 
I might have to take out a loan to pay it back

Ah, I was wondering what the purpose of them was at work. Thanks

I'm no computer knowledgeable person but that's what the guy who looks after my computers suggested. It seem a little faster too

We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity . When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:
Routine...
(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.
(4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.
Here comes the important part:
(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.
More routine...
(6) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
(7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat.
Important again:
(8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.
More routine...
(9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.
(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
And most important of all:
(11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
(12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed ' her night off ', and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women.
I love that 
Just read it to Mr Woo .............he cguckled and then said 'yeah but it's only the women that have made it like that'
And ..........I'm loving the hot weather (apart from sticking to the sofa) ..............lovely day in the garden today - paddling pool, bowls, skittles and grandsons - lovely.
Ooooooooooooh Mr Woo has just bought me in a cuppa
.....think I touched a raw nerve with that list
I was at a BBQ last night. The alpha male did the lot!!
Meanwhile we like the sun - it's been a long cold winter - and we are quite bronzed!
in the olden days, when I could manage the weather a bit better and was even married, if we had a BBQ and I did all the prep I did the BBQ'ing too... no way I'd let my hubby near the thing at all.. his job was washing up.. probably explains why I no longer have a hubby or even some sort of ex from the recent past.. I never let them near the BBQ apart form filling it with coals and attempting to light it and even then they'd muck it up
Mind you I used to be the weekend cook as I got in far too late during the week to do it so exes did the weekday cooking as they all got in a lot earlier. . probably why I did the weekend BBQ'ing too 
I love it. Spent yesterday pottering in the garden, then took the boy to town to buy him his first suit, then we all went and enjoyed a very pleasant meal together sat out in the sunshine. Came home and had neighbours round drinking wine in the garden until the wee hours.
Just been out for my Sunday coffee and stroll. The coffee was nice but the stroll was shorter than usual. There is no breeze to speak of and what breeze there is just pushes the heat around. So oppressive.
I think there are going to be some sore bodies tomorrow morning given all the flesh I have seen on display, there does not appear to be much application of sunscreen either - don't they know by now the sun is bad for the skin.
Oh and sleeping last night was a pain despite open windows.

last night was the first night this year I was hot and sticky in bed
100 degrees on centre court at the moment
I've got the blinds shut (wooden) and the fan on and it's lovely and cool, kitchen is hot cause I'm cooking a chicken to have cold with salad later
I've just prepared some stuffed (with herbs from my garden) rainbow trout to grill on the BBQ later, with a salad on the side.
And it's very hot, just sitting on the grass planting seeds in to trays and I had sweat trickling down the back of my neck.
OK, OK, this is getting a bit ridiculous now.
I need cooler night time temperatures now (at least at night).
Can't keep sleeping the way I came into this world.
I'm nice and cool

Don't tell me you are either sitting in the fridge or have take yourself off to one of the poles for few days.
LOL! Nope....I'm sitting with a door open
I love the sun AND the heat. But then, I'm used to it -asbestos skin, me!
Barbie's getting fired up tomorrow - if my hubs is feeling up to it.
Still loving the sun and heat despite being held captive at work for 4 hours longer than necessary.
Husband is snoring right now, he has no idea YET that I intend to have all tomorrow off.
