| | | Saving, for a rainy day
On Saturday I decided to take my old mans advice and start "saving for a rainy day". On Sunday it started raining, and has not stopped since. I had £2.40, so have had 48 pence per day to spend. Does not seem like good advice to me.  |

Boddie I just love your humour. I was sat here feeling none too happy and then I read your thread about Rainy Day Savings.ROFL How much will you have each day if it rains until Saturday?

No point in suing Boddie, though, wildone - he's already told us he only has £2.40!

So now if it keeps raining, you will not have anything saved for the days that are wet. I think you had better start praying for snow.
I take it that you have had a good day; with all those caring, sympathetic nurses gazing into those beautiful eyes of yours.

I am a medical sales rep and work for a company that provides instruments and technology to Surgeons. So I spend alot of time in O/R's advising on new techniques and procedures, and how new technologies can be best employed to benefit the O/R staff and patients.
Very gratifying work, never the same day twice. Loads of responsibility but the best job in the world. |

Decided to try out "A stitch in Time, saves nine".
How true it was. There I was, in Time computers, wearing not a stitch! I got sentenced to 9 months!

Old wives, you're having a laugh aint ya?
Those that coin such phrases are liars, and you paid the price!!
Whoever coined the phrase 'cleanliness is next to godliness' was talking out of their backside. I looked them up in the dictionary last night. godly and godsend are next to godliness. Cleanliness was 453 pages away. |

I’m saving shovels for a rainy day
To burry the foghorns who come my way
And shout vary loudly with nothing to say
They frighten the birds from six inches at bay
