Hot in Bed.

I didn't get much sleep last night :no: I spent a lot of time thrashing about due to the humid weather :yes: What else did you think I meant? :roll:

Well as I was lying there I began to think about different positions (as you do!) *steady - your minds are in the gutter again*>:-[

When I'm sleeping on my own I generally adopt the foetal position but can't think of anything nicer than spooning with a loved one. :**:

The last couple of nights I've been sleeping in the spare room which is cooler than my bedroom so I wondered whether this factor had disrupted my sleep. In my own bed I sleep East to West but in the spare room West to East - there I go thinking about positions again. :roll:

Then I remembered that I'd read somewhere that people used to sleep with their feet facing the door so that should they die in the night it would be easier for their bodies to be removed 88| nice thought!

Well the sun is already shining so it looks like I'll be taking up my favourite position on the sunlounger so may just catch up on a few of these :zz: :zz: :zz:

Have a lovely weekend everyone :wave:

Bum Employers!

I've just been reading this article:

LONDON (Reuters) - A meat company has been branded Dickensian after forcing its employees to clock-off every time they want to go to the toilet.

The union Unite has criticized the meat processor for "essentially stopping staff pay when they visit the toilet."

The company, based in Dumfriesshire, insists anyone wanting to be excused from the system has to provide medical evidence, the union added.

Unite, joint general secretary, Tony Woodley said in a statement on its website: "We believe these are Dickensian employment practices.

"It's outrageous that in 2008 workers should have to endure the indignity of clocking out for toilet breaks as well as other practices which we believe invade their privacy."

It has called on Tesco to force its supplier to end such a practice.

"Brown Brothers have refused to change its policy, but the union is demanding that Tesco the UK's largest retailer ensures decent employment standards within its supply chain," Woodley added.

"The workers at Brown Brothers are essentially having their pay stopped for going to the toilet. Tesco must do everything in its power to investigate these practices and put an end to them."

Nobody was immediately available for comment from Brown Brothers.

Gives a whole new meaning to "brown nosing"!!!
