I am typing this left handed with my right hand in the air . I thought. I would be good and feed the bids . It was going well until I filled the seed container and then it all went pear shaped ! I was just about to hang the feeder back onto it's hook and somehow it missed and fell, so I tried to catch it . It was quite heavy with a metal lid and metal sticky out things. I somehow developed a rather large V shaped cut in my thumb with the skin lifting, a bit like a pinch puncture in an inner tube but about half an inch long . We have washed it and put a plaster around it so it seems okay apart from me being cack handed .

FTFY.

[QUOTE 5260129, member: 21629"]Well ... another day as usual.

Agency told me I need to go to work from today and it will be for all week.

Came to work today just to be told that there's no work for me within the company at all and the company doesn't understand why I was booked in.

Told to recruitment consultant that I've had enough of that sh1t going on (there's a job - there's no job - there's a position - oops that position doesn't exist - company wants you to come back and will give you a full time contract after 2 months - company says you're free to f**k off yadda yadda) and terminated my contract with the agency.

9 years in UK and where I am ? Nowhere. Got enough money to pay for 1 month's rent and 1 month's food.

Annoyed. [/QUOTE]
That's bad treatment by the agency and the companies involved. Hope you find something else soon.

Ouchy! You'll get quite proficient in one handed tasks and it gets you out of the washing up.

When I came down this morning Schrodie wasn't climbing the door to greet me. I assumed he was still asleep behind the curtain . No ! Perhaps he is outside up the garden. I went to the back door and tried whistling . Ffff, Ffff ! Why is it you can't whistle at times? Still no Schrodie !
I was starting to feel a bit concerned . He hadn't been in since last night as there was some food left in his bowl. Did I lock him in my garage accidentally?
I opened the main door, no sign! I then opened the side door , nothing. I was starting to think that he had been locked in somewhere. I looked in our glass greenhouse . Nothing ! I went across to our other greenhouse. There he was peering through the glass at me . ? He was pleased to see me !

If I don't see either of the girls, it's an immediate backtrack to where I've been. The number of times I've locked them in the utility room or in the garage - or even in the car LOL.

The terrible twosome are insufferably nosey.

P.S. Ouch, hope your thumb mends quickly.

Off to have some lunch. Some inevitably, then I have some large trays of salmon sushi that I picked up for 30p each, and I might round that off with one of my 20p punnets of raspberries.

After looking outside and hearing lots of thunder I briefly considered cycling sandals and waterproof socks and then went shopping in the car.

Oh dear.

My thumb is feeling a lot better now . Thanks .

I went to have my first injection today and whilst I was in the chemists picking up my prescription my wife was laughing at me . I was looking at glue on nails ! I was just curious and also filling in time waiting. I didn't know that they were held on with super glue !

Does she know what your forum name is ?

Yes ! She helped me choose it .
I find that removing masking tape or bits of filler stuck to my nails can feel uncomfortable . I would hate to think what glued on nails would feel like .
Especially when you tried to remove them .

I found this spanner at a boot sale yesterday and thought it might come in handy . It is being de rusted.

Many happy hours spent attaching those along with a warranty booklet to the saddle rails of Raleigh / Carlton bikes BITD. And then stopping kids trying to nick them !

 

[slowmotion]

Do you know why?

I'm no expert but all of the chicks were trying to get rid of small parasites in their feathers and groomed constantly. That might have had something to do with the mortality rate. Of the last three survivors who made it out of the nest, one was eaten by a jay three hours ago, and the other two have not been seen recently. Right now, I'm not sure that I want to go through this again next year.

Know what you mean. I like applying sparkly, girly nail polish, but I find myself scraping it off sooner rather than later as the feel of it drives me nuts. Some of my cat show friends have long nails with lovely art on them, but I don't know how they can a) stand it and b) do anything constructive. I keep my nails really short because a) if they get even just a bit long they annoy me, b) I get dirt under them and c) I can't type.
