HappyMaz Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 "that's not high on my list of priorities for today" Reminds me of a 'fridge magnet I saw once. "I can only please one person a day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either". Quote
sunnyday Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Reminds me of a 'fridge magnet I saw once. "I can only please one person a day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either". Oh I will save that one up - I'm sure Mr S. will be delighted when I use that one! P.S. My favourite fridge magnet says 'Real women don't have hot flushes, they have power surges'! Quote
Rea Posted October 4, 2011 Author Posted October 4, 2011 I bought my son a key ring because it suited him 100%. 'I smile because I have no idea what's going on'. We got a fridge magnet for hubby which has a picture of a PC saying 'Hello, this is your computer speaking. You have no idea what you're doing do you?' Quote
Inge Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 I was given one for the fridge... I'm still hot it just comes in flushes now... Quote

Guest Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 'Good enough is good enough' (I'm no longer a perfectionist wanting things perfect) Pardon the sad theme of the next one, but 'The graveyard is full of indispensible people.' - This was what a colleague told me and one which helped me when I was trying to rush my recovery after serious surgery in order to get back to work (Must have been mad or it was the medicine!) It really has helped me put life into perspective (not quite at the time) and helps me remember to do this and keep that work/ life balance. Final one 'You can't replace your family but you can replace your job' - from a colleague who decided it was enough and time to move on when she had to spend more time doing work than with her family. She is very happily working outside of school and is spending more time with her family! Quote

sunnyday Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 On the theme of fridge magnets I saw "You can't frighten me. I've got CHILDREN!" Love it! I have a fridge magnet (which I have been known to throw in the direction of Mr S) that says... 'I've got one nerve left, and you're getting on it!' :wacko: Quote
Guest Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 On the theme of fridge magnets I saw "You can't frighten me. I've got CHILDREN!" A parent gave me a keyring that says.... "Caution!! Woman under the influence of children!" Nona Quote
