Soooo anyway here's why iv'e been a bit quiet....

Well done mate, so glad you managed to get another job and can walk straight into it from your other one! what is going to happen to bolly over winter now is she going to have to brave the cold on the drive?

 

Rot away like a real UK van should

 

That was close, well organised mate.

 

Well done Rick
A nice bit of forward planning

 

Well done chap

 

Well done Ricky hope your new job works out for you.

 

Well done!

 

I thought you and Barney had run off into the sunset together
Seriously though, I want to congratulate you and wish you luck in the new job. I do believe in karma but I also believe you make your own karma. In this case you got on with plan B just in case, and look what happened. Good for you bud.
Appreciate you will need to curb the daytime posts but don't be a stranger.

 

rickyrooo1 If you need a reference, I'll be happy to write one for you

 

Top stuff fella. Good luck to you. Looks like all them karma points you had stored up have paid off nicely.

 

thats awesome news buddy. not often you hear good news like that, shows that hard work and preparedness really can pay off! well chuffed for you

 

As of a few weeks ago (once the news broke) i removed the van from work so she has unfortunately sat uncovered on the drive through the recent snow and rain etc, we are hoping to move house before next year and i'd hope for a garage at the next place, but depending on the new job (i need to see how the gaffers are) i'm hoping to continue with being able to store inside over the winter.....

 

Thanks for all the kind words again people, i don't want to rub it in as i know some of the people on here are struggling job wise, but there are jobs out there it just depends on what you want to do, i'm not or ever have been a career man, just wanna pay my bills and buy my shopping, money's always been a struggle but i've never signed on in 28 years and i'm glad i didn't have to this time.

 

Well done Ricky really happy for you.

A favourite quote of mine which I use almost weekly.
"Not to prepare is to prepare to fail."

 

thats a great lil story rick ....

my work told us we were not allowed to use the internet as much during the days and i too cut back on my TLB use - both in the days and the evenings.
you realise how much more can be done when not on here 24-7

 

Nice one roo, good luck with the new job

 

Well done mate will bring you back 2 bottles now.

 

That's awesome news fella, well done! Thought it had been a little Q on here lol!

 

i havn't had my delivery yet I suppose i can kiss that goodby
