I use the term quite a bit, working with teenagers. I would've spelled it differently too, possibly "wrought, wroughting" However, seeing how Lazzer has typed it has made me wonder if it's a local derivative from "rioting" :102:

Good stuff! I've got another 15 months (and counting) before I hopefully hear the same.

Always worth joining your local Freegle group and asking for one. I've seen printers, scanners and PC's given away in mine (all working, just no longer needed). However, etiquette is that you offer something before you ask for items, but it's definitely worth a try.

Yeah, I ignored them for weeks until they blocked me. I've ignored my Mum's too and my Aunties'.

My sons both sent me friend requests, but when I told them that my profile was a 'kid-free zone' they promptly blocked me!

I was contemplating having the whole lot shaved off, but just went for a drastic reduction in length in the end.

Yep, I'd say you were right.

Had 90% of my hair cut off :icon_bigg

I regret giving up my Samsung U600. I've gone back to Samsung with the Monte which is the closest 'new' phone I could find to the U600. All I want from a phone is to make calls and the odd text (my eldest spends more time using his phone than his laptop now). I must be getting old :icon_lol:

On Orange, Dolphin 25.

My son's had his Blackberry Curve for a couple of months now and absolutely loves it. Nearly all his mates have them, so they can use the 'chat' thingy on it. He pays £22.50 a month and gets unlimited texts, email, internet and 300 minutes. Suits his needs perfectly.

I wouldn't say that New Look charged a lot of money for the items they sell, but my point isn't to do with price, it's to do with the quality of the merchandise. Both shops sell very poor quality clothing IMO.

New Look and Primark sell "disposable wear". I'm amazed anybody buys anything from either retailer and seriously expects to get more than one day's wear/use out of it :icon_eek:

Any song that incorporates one of my most hated shops ever in the lyrics was never going to be a winner with me.

Congratulations :icon_bigg Sorry, but it's best if you do :icon_wink

My sentiments entirely! Arrogant tosser!!!

Ellie Goulding - The Writer Enrique Iglesias - I Like It Jason Derulo - What If The Wanted - All Time Low The Saturdays - Missing You Travie McCoy - Billionaire - feat. Bruno Mars Not my usual cup of tea, but my kids have been listening to these so much during the holidays, they've quite...

:icon_lol:

Like you, I was really confused about what to get and how it all worked. It didn't help that I didn't know anybody else with VM who had a wireless router - all my friends had different set ups and couldn't get their heads around how VM worked. Another good thing (for me) from buying direct...

That's what I did, Cate. I played safe and spent the £40 for one of theirs though - it just got added on to my next bill.

A bit shocked. Found out about the death of a relative today (he was only 36) by reading a status on Facebook. Is the art of talking to people really dying out?!

:icon_lol: A kindred spirit!

Ooh, are you doing one with sound bites?

Goo Goo Dolls are playing Leicester at the new O2 Academy on November 17th.

Halfway through Adrian Mole: The Prostrate Years. Really enjoying it - Sue Townsend is spot on again.

:038: :038: :038: Good luck!

Yep :icon_lol:

I have a fair idea of what's going on in your head right now :056: I hope the news tomorrow is good.

Hmm, Independence Day, same day as my ex moved out three years ago!

My son had an English Language A-Level lesson discussing that word last week :icon_conf

That used to be my opinion until I saw them live. They are one of the best bands I've ever seen at a gig.

I think they got off lightly. If they were of primary school age, it may have been a sufficient punishment, but 11-13 year olds would've known exactly what they were doing.

Good luck! Would've liked to have come along but I'm working until 5pm.

This is a brilliant website https://www.turn2us.entitledto.co.uk/entitlementcalculator.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 You can have a play around, inputting different figures to see if you'd be better or worse off working more or less hours.

Yeah, I was wondering that. Surely the novelty would've worn off by now and she should be back online :102: :icon_wink

:038: :038: :038:

Of course it's worth something - they've got the highest mark possible and that's a great achievement. I doubt any parent would degrade their child by saying the above to them, but the fact is that they ARE easier - easier in that the pressure is lessened by the fact that they are tested more...

The candidate who they feel can do the job best :102:

Thinking about it, the last few job application forms I completed had tiny sections to fill in about qualifications - a couple weren't big enough to fill mine in and I only have seven 'O' Levels. By far the biggest section is the bit where they want to know all about you and what skills you...
