    Running against Posy so we can have some presidential debates.

    Would be great for the stats :D

    I'm thinking Posy saw my previous tweets about it over the years and "borrowed" my idea :D

    First day of work today, eek!!

    What a stunning day out there today!

    Actually dressed in skirt today, nice to wear something other than jeans or trousers!

    Enjoy the day if you can.

    Was checking the weather forecast for the week yesterday and was all over the place. Sun cream one day and winter hats the next!

    No wonder everyone is getting colds (colds still existing and everyone with a runny nose or cough does not have Covid!).

    Thanks, and thanks everyone. I'm genuinely excited about this job. Trying to adjust to an 8 hour working day after a year off is not easy though. I'm shattered!! Just glad I start with two short weeks!

    I'd be similar, don't want to peak too early!

    I guess once Sept comes i start thing more about what I need for this year, more decorations, ordering presents if might be hard and what house things we want to get done etc.

    I hear ya, & agree. Our planning starts in September in reality. As soon as the kids go back to school we start getting stuff organised.

    Well my father in law is finally taking his outdoor Christmas decorations down. He's literally had a reindeer and a snowman just stuck in the garden since Christmas. I reckon they are destroyed now - totally covered in rust :(

    Happy April everybody.
    We're into the second quarter now and have a bank holiday at start of every month in it. By the end we'll be at the half way point and only weeks away from tubs of sweets.

    I've already had Santa on the phone checking in on our youngest elf as she was throwing a wobbler, the effect from tantrum to angel was instantaneous. I didnt think it would work, and it was the first time I have done this. I don't think it's fair to make a regular thing of it though.

    Growing up Easter seemed like so much more of a bigger deal than it is now.

    Maybe it was because of the school holidays and you got 2 weeks off, same as Christmas.

    I defintely remember TV guides referencing Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday and there used to be a great lineup of Movies on to watch while gorging chocolate.

    I posted a few months ago about the problem with this thread on mobile. Anyone else not seeing a new page until there are three posts on it? So the thread shows up as having new posts on "my forums" but I can't see the posts unless there are at least two more :(
