Hi, I'm brand spanking new to HOP, never even new it existed until I stumbled upon it recently. Only just starting to get my sea legs as far as the technology thing goes. Just typed poi into a search engine and BAM, Here I am. And right glad I am too.
Been spinning for years on and off, started in South Africa and the enthusiasm kinda waned once I got to the UK and refused to leave the warmth of indoors for months. Years later I am regaining my passion and learnig to accept that 26 degrees celcius is warm.
Think Hop is amazing, looking forward to learning and living and loving and growing.

Right you minking slapper, shower is now all done complete with new shiny taps...really shiny They did pull the shower curtain rail out of the wall but I fixed it.
I'm also going home tomorrow and I might have to get the train (Haven't done that for ages!) So if that is the case we can go together.
Ummm don't think I have any other news for you except that you’re great, loving you loving your work and your flat mate is [censored] amazing.

Bubbles-If you stay in the same company your holiday stays the same. If you change companies, your holiday is reset, but you have to remember your holiday days are pro-rata, in both situations. If you don't have enough holiday days, call in sick, as long as your sickness remains under 7% you are all good (Thats probably about 3 working weeks depending on your contractual hours )

This is a question for your HR department! (and I don't mean Hormone-Replacement) It'll be a matter of who has allocated time off in that department and whether or not you be needed to cover them...

Bubbles.. someone just left at my place (moved to our london office) they'll be looking to replace them.. probably about £17,500 a year probably more 9-5 monday to friday dress down on fridays, really annoying, pension, pay £80 a year towards new glasses / eye tests and after a year you can take out a loan of up to £1000 or possible double your monthly salary (which would be about £2000) and if paid back inside a year it's interest free. plus I have a house which I'm about to sell.. couold always rent it to you at cost coz if you worked here I know you'd earn enough
problem solved bubbles is moving down

We've been watching lots of series at the moment. Virgin has an on demand function that holds loads of them, like sky+ you cand ff and stop and rewind them. It's really good. Currently watching Shameless, Sugar Rush and Queer as folk for series 1 episode 1 It's cool because when they were showing I missed quite a few episodes. I love Virgin Much better than ntl Havent even noticed the sky channels are missing
