Please done let anything distract from your excellent match previews FAForeverAddickted said:Just secured my future at my current Company - Relieved... ITS A BLOODY UNDERSTATEMENT
Company got taken over a few years ago - So have had to spend 2021 transitioning into a new role that is slightly different to what I was doing, or have done before... Its certainly something I've enjoyed, and the flexible working (a side benefit) has been great as means I've been able to take my Son to nursery and collect him on certain days when my Wife has had to work too.
As a result I decided to take the massive risk and focus on impressing enough to get a potential job (if one came up) based on what I'm now doing, rather than focusing on saving my arse from redundancy and jumping ship at the earliest opportunity.
Have been expecting to hear about a potential job opening (something that I could interview for etc.) for a few weeks now, but went into my one to one with my Manager @ 2pm today and the first thing I'm told is that I'll just move straight across in January.
No need to worry about interviews (hate the bloody things)... No risk of redundancy.
What a way to end the working week, and head into a week of Annual Leave!!!3 -
Just got off the phone from my Mrs, crying her eyes out (she's currently living and working back in UK).
So, straight away I'm thinking the worst, then when she did finally compose herself, she starts to explain how the trains are all up the creek and she was stuck waiting for a connection in Woking making her really late (to get to Guildford). There was another older lady and young girl who were also going to Guildford, so they decided to share a cab. On the way they all got talking about life in general, cabbages and Kings etc. The younger girl is getting married next year, the old lady is going away at Christmas etc etc. Anyway, when they finally got to their destination, they all got out to, but the older lady, who was sitting in the front seat, refused to take any money off my Mrs or the younger girl and insisted on paying for them.
Hopefully she got her name, so we can send her a card10 -

Somebody, anybody?
Something to smile about?!1 -
I thought it might rain today so I mowed my lawns early … and it did rain. Good enough?Dazzler21 said:Somebody, anybody?

Started taking my daughter to lower level football here in last couple of weeks, which I had thought she was pretty unimpressed by. But yesterday she asked if we're going to a game today as she said she really likes it! Keeping the standard and expectations low so I can hopefully take her to Charlton someday

Yesterday we had the privilege to meet a young lad who almost 2 years ago was poorly in hospital, I won’t go into detail as mum asked me not too.But while he was there mum showed him videos of puppies and young Bowyer was amongst them, she promised him when he was well he would be able to meet one of them.Yesterday was that day, they drove down and met a rather larger than expected Therapy dog Bowyer and spent an hour in the field with him, lots of laughter and some happy tears.I told you something nice happened yesterday. 😉9

Went to a function at Dartford FC yesterday afternoon. As we walked out at around 7.15, their Team coach was unloading. Asked them how they got on. Cheeky little smile when told they lost.1

Found someone's keys yesterday and managed to return to their owner after a social media post. He insisted on giving me a fiver as a thank you.
I entered a cake into the office Bake Off today and then put the fiver from yesterday in the collection bucket.
Won the Bake Off with an excellent coffee and walnut cake!13 -

Great work Wilma! I did something similar but with a passport I found on the floor. The internet can be a good place sometimes. He sent me a pair of pyjamas as a thank you. True story.5

Ahh Wilma, that’s lovely 😊1

Two good things today...
Found out my Dad's tumour is benign. Well the top doc is 99.9% sure and they've still done the biopsy based on the 0.01% chance. It has been a stressful few weeks since his routine Dentist appointment turned into an almost instant referral to hospital when he asked the Dentist what the lump was on the inside of his mouth. God bless the NHS.
We put an post on FB a week or so ago about giving away our baby car seat. Had a message from one of my brother's old friends who I haven't seen in about 10 years and he came to collect it today. His son was born at 31 weeks and only weighs 3lb 8oz now after 5 weeks in SCBU. They hope to bring him home before Christmas. He didn't want to leave without paying us for it but we told him not to worry. As daughter number 2 was a premmie, a tiny 3lb 14oz at 34 weeks, it very much felt like we was paying back our good karma.

My little man took his steps today. I was at work but got sent the video.
Give him a few more years and he be following his dad around the country supporting us.11 -
Went to a dental NHS practice in Marylebone as my crown was about to go separate ways. Also due a check up. Never been there before and luckily there was a cancellation. I was seen within 30 minutes and reattached to
my crown. Not sure whether this was nice or just being lucky.4 -
Bloke at work told me he was going to McDonalds to grab a coffee. I told him I bloody loved Sausage Egg McMuffins.
He went and bought me one without me asking for it.
I didn't pay him a penny and then gave him some work to do

A horrible horrible colleague is finally leaving the company I work for. Never met such an evil bitch in my life. Tries to backstab everyone (apart from senior management, where she brown noses big time).
The entire floor is celebrating 🍻

Nice one. I dropped my credit card on the pavement a few weeks back and before I had even realised, someone had found me on Facebook and told me they had it. Got to meet a new neighbour to boot.Wilma said:Found someone's keys yesterday and managed to return to their owner after a social media post. He insisted on giving me a fiver as a thank you.

I pulled a tick out of my arm on 22nd November.
Sent me into a bit of a meltdown tbh after being ‘well’ for the last few years after contracting Lyme & starting recently to run again.
Managed to get some antibiotics from the reluctant Dr & sent the tick to Germany for testing.
I have just got the results back from the lab.
The tick was all clear.
I am beyond relieved/delighted 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩17 -

Thought about starting its own thread but there may not be too much interest among Addick cricket followers who will be more interested in the Ashes.
But - a NZ left arm spinner Ajax Patel has just taken all ten wickets v India in Mumbai. He’s only the third player to achieve all ten. I can remember Jim Laker rattling the Aussies with a 19 wicket haul in Manchester. Kumble was the other one.
Im not sure it’s going to help the kiwi cause though. They are currently 27 for 4 in their first innings.
NZ have never won a series in India. They saved the first test with the final pair lasting 9 overs to see out a draw. There were big hopes for this test but they weren’t helped by the late withdrawal of Kane Williamson with an injury.4 -
