Bit odd that he wants to see it in the dark, but hey, that's his call.

Had a call for the Corsa too. Shame it's almost sold (part ex'd but if we sell it in the meantime then the trader is happy to take the cash instead).

just had a call about another job, external this time. Just awaiting salary etc. Guy I spoke to was a bit dumb though, he asked my circumstance and I said redundancy at the end of jan but I am actively looking now as I would rather have work than redundancy. So he said oh your not really after anything yet then. I had to repeat what I had told him!!

Luckily he isnt the one who is looking after this potential job thank ****

Yep.

Having said that, Dee might be 5 foot nothing and slim but I wouldn't mess with her. I saw a different side to her when I went to watch her play hockey for the first time last year.

fookin hockey players are scary (not in a facial way ) Watching St Trinians all them years back left a scar with me (although I wouldnt have complained if a young female in a trinny outfit wanted a piece of me )
