having a lazyish day, got the dog walked and been to the shop now the rain has set in for the day AGAIN so im hoping it wont be too bad later when i go to work.
finally told my boss the other night im begining to find picking up those bags of potatos is getting too much for me now............. not sure how that went down but im afraid it needed to be said...........
easter in 2wks and the start of our summer season, i just cant keep that up any longer then go on to work behind the counter and everything else that entails............
its not so much the job, its the stress its putting on my hips, knees and ankles and the amount of pain i find myself in at night and first thing in the morning when i try to get the old bones moving again..............
ive done it darn nearly every day for the last four years, some times doing as many as 25/30 55lb bags a day and sorry............ enough is now enough !!!
hope you are all fit and well.............
gill, good job the weather has improved a bit now or you might have been finding icicles hanging off various things with no boiler again

:rolleyes:
Good day!
I remember once telling my boss I could no longer carry file box's, he said, well, I guess you can no longer do one of the job requirements you were hired to do!:mad:
Tell him your back now is really bad and to give you something else to do besides carrying heavy potatoes!
but get a doctors note first, and have him specify why you can no longer lift and the reasons why.

Oh, Helen, I know it's precipitating again all over the west country and I dare say it will creep it's way up north to our neck of the woods grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
We had the installing company send an engineer out yesterday, and after thoroughly checking EVERYTHING the boiler etc were passed as being in perfectly good order. So it remains a mystery why the detector sounded off like that. The chap asked if we had had the window in that room open at all, and I said no, but truthfully I just cannot remember, neither can Chris. If it had been open then with the north wind that we had on Friday would probably have blown the gases from the boiler exhaust pipe in through it. The 'office' window and the boiler outlet pipe are on the same north-facing wall. The window could have been opened by Andy's friend who stayed the previous night! It's only a small window, not big enough for a person to climb through, so no risk of burglars :rolleyes: Anyway, everything is up and running and the detector has been quiet
You know, Helen, I've nagged you to pack in all that humping ............ oops, I mean all that lifting of those bloody heavy spud sacks! You know they would let you carry on with it as long as you are prepared to! Glad you've dug your heels in at last, so don't change your mind Mrs. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr You've got to take care of number one for a change! They won't bother ! You just cannot do it any more !!!!! FULL STOP !!!!! It's a job for one of the blokes or a much younger female. DO NOT DO IT ANY MORE - LIFTING SPUD SACKS FFS !!!! :-5
Good day!
When I have a shower, my smoke detector goes off and its 8 feet away, its the steam from the shower that sets it off, as the detector is very sensitive.
I can only have one smoke detector in my bungalow.
Life is just to short for drama.
