EH - Keeping on track. (AKA focus Woman! FOCUS!)

It's a FAB feeling Cheery!

Well I think this is going to be a l-o-n-g week! Of the two people I work for the one who's half decent to work with is away on holiday for a fortnight leaving me with the one who shall be known as "Madam" (because she is one!). She's a nightmare basically - has a habit of forgetting that while she's legally trained I'm not, and so every time I ask her a question about anything I'm not sure of says in a patronising tone "It's really very simple, just use your common sense..." :mad: I shouldn't be massively surprised - MrEH used to work in the same firm as her years ago and she's always struggled to keep secretaries in the past - I reckon I must be setting some sort of record now having been here for 6 years. She's just got NO idea how to deal with staff at all and makes a habit of generally being rude to everyone she speaks to. :eek: Anyway so far I've not murdered her - I'm taking this as a win - and in another 1 hour 52 minutes I'll be half way through my week. :T

Just cashed out £25.20 on TCB - that'll be heading over to my bank account in the next few days so I need to remember to transfer it over to the VSP account. Also just achieved 45p in survey earnings on OnePoll...I'm just past half way to cashout and once again at the point of saying I'll close the account once I reach it this time...! :rotfl: It really is like pulling teeth on there!

We were down in Devon in MrEH's hometown for the weekend - their annual food festival and great fun it was too. Fairly spendy (inevitably) but all budgeted for. Away overnight this weekend too - :beer: Still no idea if I'll get to see my friend while we're there or not - I'll touch base with him later this week and see how he's fixed.

Food stuff is all going as planned this week - goat curry last night and mutton stew tonight. To MrEH's disgust though the stew will be without Dumplings as I've not got any Self Raising flour and I'm not going to the supermarket again this week just for that. I'll do quick flatbreads to go with it - I've got plenty of plain flour and some plain yogurt that needs using, too.

Also got a phone number of a chap who fits windows from my pal last night - she says he's very good and he's got all the right accreditation so we may be able to use him to sort out the windows that need it in the flat. I'll give him a call in the next few days and see if he can come round and quote.

And I'm assuming (good cook that you are) you know about adding baking powder to plain flour to make dumplings, but perhaps haven't got any? I never keep SR in the house (a la Nigella - she brags...... :rotfl::rotfl:) so just use plain flour and baking powder or bicarb or, very very occasionally cream of tartar if I've had it in for scones (v. rare).

I do, but I couldn't be bothered... The flatbreads are currently a real favourite of mine - I might have bought the plain yogurt with them specifically in mind, in fact... :rotfl:
