Title: Who's got to work today and doesn't normaly
Post by: D.Salkeld_Ltd on January 19, 2008, 07:57:33 am: Hi All,

Bloody weather >:( >:( >:(

I'm a grumpy sod this morning :( >:(

Got to work today ::) ::)

Well, to be honest, I chose to :-\

If I don't we'll be OK (basic money) but if I do we will be a bit closer to our aim ;)

Tracy and I love Saturdays because we spend the day together :D :D :D

Last night we were planning our trip to Greece first week in April 8)
We fly to Thessaloniki then travel east to Kavala then ferry to the Island of Thassos. We've been going there for about 6 years and have got friends over there so we decided to go out of season independently ;)
I looked at Hiring a car for the 8 days over there £150 pick up at airport and drop of there. Now Tracy has paid for just about everything but that she couldn't stretch to. So I agreed to work Saturday's untill April ;D >:(

Like we've said before.............MOTIVATION ;)

Post by: TVCS on January 19, 2008, 08:02:42 am: Working Saturdays is cr*p. I don't normally do it if I can help it.

We normally do stuff with the kids, go out somewhere etc but, needs must, so I'll be out today.

I'm still playing catch-up from when our van died just before xmas and of course the weather.

Never mind, soon be Sunday. ;D ;D ;D

Post by: birdymiller on January 19, 2008, 08:09:38 am: I will be working all day if it stays dry. Normally work the odd saturday morning if i have to, but get done for dinner because i play football in the afternoon. Today i am missing my footy so i am doubly fed up. Thinking about going out tomorrow as well, do many of you work sundays, i never have.

Is it ok to give you a call over the weekend david, to pick your brain about your system?

Post by: D.Salkeld_Ltd on January 19, 2008, 08:21:50 am: Birdy,

Call me today sometime

Not Sunday as I like to shut off as it were and it's not fair on Tracy if I'm spending time chatting about work things.

Nice people Dimitri (can't spell it) used to hire out the sunloungers and windsurfers he had a nice Austrian partner Adrianne. All lovely people tucked away near the end of the beach.
