did this come from the estate agent? If so, it is likely bluster.

I think so yes, from my solicitor, via the estate agent.

I hope so - I'm going to be fucking furious with my mortgage advisor if this all falls through at the last minute, because this last query with the mortgage lender is as a direct result of some advice he gave me which has ended up being absolutely boners.

Not only is it raining on a bank holiday at the start of my week off work, but I've gone down with something that's left me feeling very dizzy and light headed. Just got up to go to the loo and it feels like being really badly drunk.

I get that sometimes; I just ignore it and goes away after a few hours. It's probably brain cancer or something.

That was plan A, but as it started yesterday and seems to be getting worse I'm contemplating ruining the GPs day as well and trying to get a home visit.

Having to work on a bank holiday. Not only that having to get up at 4am to get to Germany.

No beers for me, also beer at 5 am is not a good thing :)

Whilst I had something of a Yay weekend, it was not so for others I know :(

One of the girls from our NCT lost her father to a heart attack, horrible as he broke his neck falling as a result so they don't know what the cause of death is. So now the last summer bank holiday of the year will always be sad for her.

Also over the weekend an old school friend lost his son, I was expecting it to be a car accident, but he died in not to clear circumstances in Thailand involving drugs and him "running" into a glass door. He was 25 and had done 2 years for pot dealing, so maybe some shady business going on. Still its still a father who has lost a son.

Project slippage Mimi, the new date for the start of user testing is now...drum roll please...the 25th of December.

I'm really starting to understand the US Government's reluctance to use certain Chinese telecom suppliers.

Is it very likely that they will actually begin testing on that day, or is that just the resulting calculated result date of the creep? Either way, with two months to go is it likely to creep just past Christmas, which no good thing for project deadlines will at least mean that you still get to enjoy your life outside work as you should be able. :cthulhu: :kiss:

It's a win win situation Mimi :) Thanks for the thought.

Honestly, I've done it before (spent Christmas away from home) but at least this time it's not just only me. I am just dreading the phone call home to the folks.

Oh, so you work away from home at a distance that even if you are not working Christmas day you will not be able to see your family? Oh, that's a sad prospect to have to break to loved ones, so I really do hope that it doesn't come to that. :( Remember, though, that you can spend that day with family, even if you have to delay it for a little while. We live in a day of Dr Who, Christmas can be any week or month you wish :luv:

Thanks for the message Mimi :kiss:

Cras, yep, still here, may be here for the long haul or told to sling my hook at the end of Feb. Things are "variable" at the moment. It makes for an interesting working environment.

I get that you are having to work, (although its pretty crap that you have to)

How are you going to get "users" to help you test on Christmas day?

Muslim country mate...the real issue is that if the project slips further then it may impact Novruz (Persian New Year) and then we would have a real issue with users (and everyone really).

Will you at least get extra pay for it? Even my place pays very well for Christmas day work, never seen an instance where anyone has come in though so maybe that's why!

Nope, no extra pay (and to be honest as an Ex-pat I shouldn't be getting anything like that anyway)...just the luck? of the draw. It's the stuff that you know is a risk when you sign up for these kind of assignments...it's just a bummer when it comes to pass.

Went to see my brother yesterday and we ended up at the local remembrance service on his high-street.

When the various priests were reading out the names of the fallen my son was laughing or making a noise with almost perfect timing.

He is 16 months old so doesn't understand what is going on.

In the end I had to leave with him, people were staring and I guess rightfully getting a bit pissed off.

I ended up a respectfully distance away with 3 other fathers who had the same issue with their kids.

First time I have been to one for years as well.

Seems pretty stupid for people to be angry at a baby in those circumstances. The whole point of remembrance is celebrating the legacy of sacrifice, and I think a happy giggling baby does that rather well.

I'd have done the same Asfish. I'm sure people understand but I don't like to make a fuss with the kids especially when it's easy to get them out the way.

I did the same at a wedding last week but to be fair, I don't mind. I'd much rather play with the kids then watch a dull wedding.

Mother-in-law is visiting for two months and is currently on 'the FaceTime' with father-in-law, who is still in the Uk.

He's holding the phone up to the telly so she can see what's on the breakfast show. This is troubling me.

I skim read that as MIL and FIL are having 'sitting-on-face time'.

Which was odd.
