Glad you like it Simone... Kath was starting to add backgrounds to her avatars so i thought it would be okay to try that... I wish I had done one (a background) for Rory now... what would she like? A shiny sink perhaps??? LOL or a commercial lease contract??? Haha

Got Wade in the laundry trough cooling down after being outside... "I'm ready to hop out now Mum!!!"

Better go...

ETA: IK: I've been mulling over what you posted about the CFA car bolt situation... I'm wondering how you could sell the idea in a manner which will appeal to the majority... as you know DH had a recent issue with his employer awarding him a family "unfriendly" holiday reward despite the lip service that they want to be supportive of the family unit etc. Eventually, after DH made use of a recent consultation (wanting to know what the managers thought would improve their job satisfaction) he used the recent holiday debacle as an example and he was given an appropriate alternative. I think the bank consulted the current high performers because they are finding it hard to keep and recruit good staff. Are the CFA struggling to retain and recruit? If so could a reason be the family "unfriendliness"? If the issue is raised maybe use that as a spring board? Let me mull a bit longer...
