merledogs Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Evening. I have just finished (for now) the spreadsheet I started many hours ago. I am going to revisit it in the morning before sending it to my director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickentikka Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Spins I have a few of those 'fond memories', though not with you I have had a lovely birthday which I really wasn't expecting. I had cards from all my family arrive yesterday, including some photos from my brother in the USA. My work colleagues knew that it would be on pain of death if they decorated my desk, so when I arrived in there were just a few sparkles and lots of cards and pressies from them all. I normally dread receiving presents at work (remember the chi sized dog coats from my last boss ). Well, everything I got was so me Loud long pink and white striped walking socks, a lovely cotton summer scarf, a chunky necklace, Thorntons choccies a very lightweight mat to sit on whilst picnicing with the dogs, bath stuff to sooth away aches and pains, a burlesque lady candle holder and they've even pre ordered the noo Gaslight Anthem cd. They are such wonderful colleagues to actually bother to get to know someone. I took in enough cakes for an army and we spent the day pigging out I even didn't mind wearing the 50 and fabulous badge they gave me. Tonight I went to burlesque and had such a fun, giggly evening and my teacher gave me a card. Now I'm chilling with a glass of wine. 50 is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulesB Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Only 54% of people voted in my area today, which is pretty poor. And the BNP got more votes than UKIP. I don't know anyone who admits to voting BNP, yet they got over 1900 votes around here. Vile creatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs B Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 If I didn't have to go to work tomorrow, I think I would actually stay up to watch the results come in. It's actually making the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Mr B is up at 4 tomorrow anyway, so I might just be up not long after ......... unless I pop on the PC around 2-ish.

merledogs Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Morning I would have stayed up as well Mrs B - I did stay up until gone midnight, then woke again at 4am and turned the telly on for a bit, then nodded off again and woke up at 5.30 and started watching again. Hazel Blears was returned in my constituency, no great surprise. Tis a bit worrying all the problems people have had voting (or not being able to).

Gemstone Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Morning Tis a bit worrying all the problems people have had voting (or not being able to). Some people had been queuing for ages too, not just turning up at the last minute as I assumed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 It's not right that people who started to queue to vote at 8:30pm weren't able to get in and vote! It's one thing if it's someone who turned up 5 mins before closing to lose out but theres evidence to suggest that people who were there in plenty of time weren't able to vote - thats very wrong and very disturbing.

JulesB Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I set the alarm for 3am (tragic ) to find out what was happening. It's very interesting watching the coverage and people talking about where we go from here. I was a slip of a 15-year old at the last hung Parliament so I can't really recall the vote. I was probably more bothered about surviving double maths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyMalc Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 A tory government - be afraid, be very afraid! At least in Manchester they only got 11.8%, I think I might just stay here (lab 52.7% and lib dem 26.6%). The polling station at ours was very quiet yesterday afternoon, only 2 other people. I could've kicked myself for my honesty tho: the lady who I showed my polling card to gave me 2 pieces of paper: one for the local and one for the general elections. Had I not honestly told her that I'm not allowed to vote in the general elections (due to being Dutch), I could just have voted. Not that I think that my vote alone would have changed the entire outcome, but it would have been nice to know that one of the lib dem votes had been mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hmmmm it's our 27th anniversary today, I had a card made via moonpig for hubby which I had hidden away, granted I was distracted by the election first thing and didn't "remember" to say "happy anniversary" or give him the card until 15 mins ago but I have now gone and given him a kiss and the card, I also got tickets for us to go see Cardiff Blues play Munster on Sunday and what he doesn't know is that there is also a huge box of Belgium chocolates due to arrive here for him in the next hour or so .... I have not had anything ... not even a card ..... hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah B Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Morning all Sad few days for lots of Fugees :GroupHug: I went to my Mums for the night on Wednesday, it was lovely to get away from moaning and stress We had a lovely meal and Scooby got to sleep on the bed wit me I do miss having him snoring in my ear at home (he's not allowed upstairs where I am at the moment) Hung parliament then. That will be my fault (according to Marks mum) cos I didn't vote for one of the Big Three. Maybe I will bugger off for another few days to escape the fallout...
