Title: Trick Calls
Post by: Miss Demeanour on March 13, 2009, 11:43:25 AM: I had a call last night from a friend ( remember the moral dilemma story) ...so she starts off with the usual how are you etc etc etc,,,,which then leads gently into what are your plans next weekend??????

Thinking she was offering to cook dinner or go out on the town - confirmed I can't do Friday as I am out but can make Saturday razz:

Excellent she says - I am moving house on Saturday and would really appreciate if you can help out

Post by: Snoopy on March 13, 2009, 11:49:05 AM: I recall when SWWLTBO and I moved into our first proper flat (as opposed to bedsit). Her brother offered to help. He turned up just as we had finished unloading the hired van. He had a stunning looking woman in tow and a litre of gin, a bag of ice cubes and a large bottle of tonic. His woman dived into the nearest box looking for glasses and he produced a lemon from his pocket.
Don't remember much else of that day ~ we unpacked a day later than planned, on our own but with bad headaches.

NOW that is what I call helping someone move house. lol:

Post by: Snoopy on March 13, 2009, 01:58:02 PM: "Tables" is something else that is a sore point just at the moment.

The THW has made her decision and is moving onto a College of FE to do her AS and A2s. She has elected to do Maths and Stats as one subject. She still does not know her "times tables" beyond the five times. She is said to be on target for an A* in GCSE Maths (based on the course work element which has been completed & marked). It baffles me Banghead

She is also doing Physics, Geology and Environmental Studies. She has dropped her life long ambition to study archaeology after spending her two weeks work experience with the County Archaeologist and discovering that far from digging up fields and having a jolly time with Mick Aston, Phil Harding and Co most of the work involves dealing with planning applications etc. There is only one County Archaeologist in Wales and few enough in the whole UK. For most archaeologists the alternative employment prospects are in teaching.

I don't think she has the first idea. Lets get the qualifications first.

My suggestion is that she gets a degree (prolly geology) and then takes off to pastures abroad. So far that is the only suggestion she will admit to taking on board ~ although it was me who found the college, made the appointment, got the application forms, arranged the initial interview and will be paying the costs not covered by grants etc.

BUT what do I know? ~ I'm just a boring old fart, past his time, who interferes in her life.
