Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Soul destroying, HB :( But after several attempts you'll know what you need to do to engineer them to fit the body.

I don’t think twice about charging my phone and watch at work. I’m using them, they need charging. Probably get the sack now.

Wearing my gym kit (essentially my pyjamas.) Parked in expensive car park. Really winning at life today.

Sounds tough, HB. Sympathies. Had to undo the armhole section of that cardigan I made recently (the main body part was knitted on one piece and it was a real faff!)

I used to charge my phone at work too. Made up for times when I worked at home a had to charge a work laptop to be able to do it.

I didn't charge my 'phone at work. If I was going to get a slapped wrist for stealing stuff I was going to make damned sure it was something that cost more than a penny or two (electricity was less expensive then, of course).

Have opted in for another 'save energy for an hour and get paid' this evening.
I know this is only a trial, but if they want people to commit regularly choosing a time other than 17:30 to 18:30 would be a good idea.

Yeah, probably wouldn’t go to the trouble of dragging the hoover battery all the way to work!

Currently working my way through a technical 'allowing for uncertainty' report.

Looking forward to a lunchtime walk.

I have replaced the batteries in the TV remote.

The old ones were flat, so it wasn't working.
