My sister just asked me if I made any money from my work.

She's convinced that because I don't have a "proper job" with holiday pay and a company pension, I must therefore be something equivalent to a casual labourer, queuing up at the gates of a sewage works in the hope of being granted a few hours work in return for a pittance.

That's what comes of being an investment banker handling millions of dollars worth of loans to the aerospace industry (which is what she used to do) - you become convinced that anybody who has to pay their own Employer's NI is basically a window cleaner, and probably a temporary one too.

Oh dear.

My first contract got terminated early (after four months, during which time I earned more than my previous annual salary), my dad rang me to say not to do anything stupid and if I needed to borrow any money they would lend it to me.....

I guess that unless you've done it, people just don't understand what you do, why you do it, and how much you can earn doing it.

Gosh.

It's Boxing Day already.

Where did I put that wren?

Good morning, Zeity!

[TheFaQQer]

I shall, all being well, return to read the rest of yesterday's ramblings later on today...

Found some very interesting, er, stuff on Y**P***

I didn't know ladies did things like that.

Honest.

I find it hard to believe that you found something new on there.

Tell me more (or just give us a link!)

You are a drunkard and a degenerate.

You need to stop drinking and get one of those nice nine to five jobs that pay you for holidays that I keep reading about. Otherwise, no doubt an immigrant will get one and the Daily Heil says that we don't want that to happen.....



Hope you're having a better day today!

Marginally, although any minute now we're off to sister's parents-in-law for dinner, after which I can make my escape back to the sanity of my flat

Hope you're feeling well enough for the leftover turkey, if not the leftover wine

I still have a sore nose where my 2 year old granddaughter head butted me a week ago. She thought it was funny. my daughter moaned that I had left a bruise on the baby's forehead. go figure

I blame the parents

Good morning, Zeity!

Afternoon (Sober up that man)

[TheFaQQer]

I've been looking for knobs on the internet all morning

Zeity has some new links, it seems. Hopefully he'll be sharing them later.

Or just try here instead (safe for work)

I blame the parents

I taught her how to do it when she was 1

[NickFitz]

Right, time to prepare for the off.

I shall probably be feeling much more relaxed the next time I post... and without any artificial aids

[TheFaQQer]

All I had yesterday was some advocaat and some Croft's sherry...

Together?
