It was genuinely causing confusion, I have numerous emails asking which comments were mine, was I commenting twice etc etc Your 'Reply' to someone on this list of comments simply reminded me to say something to readers of my Blog.<br /><br />It's nice that we are all identifiable as different people, even if our Mum's all seemed to want a baby called Sue. There are LOADS of Sue's in Blogland, obviously we are a great and loveable band of folk that like to share our love with the world.<br /><br />From one Sue to another xxSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-16833291596676993742014-01-31T11:40:48.098+00:002014-01-31T11:40:48.098+00:00I'm another Sue - my mother wanted to name me ...I'm another Sue - my mother wanted to name me Wendy but after a prolonged stay in the maternity ward (Bangor) decided that was too popular and named me Susan!

The driver just dropped the box off. I think my friend made them take it back, as it was very fragile. <br /><br />I think my cousin who lives on Anglesey has a log splitter but have a feeling that he and an uncle made it up out of various things, as the uncle has an engineering works (not on Anglesey). Good luck and lots of lovely heat this winter and beyond.

There were company rules that said anything over 15Kg was a 2 person lift but I was working alone and was expected to lift up to 30 x 25Kg bags every shift. I argued the toss with the powers that be and was told to ask for help. Then was told to justify time loss while I waited for said help to arrive.
