    I had an email from Weller yesterday afternoon Ste - she is absolutely devastated as you would expect - she is staying with her parents for a while, not sure when she will be back home, but she wont have internet access while she is there. I hope she is doing okay too, although I'm not really sure what 'okay' would be in those circumstances.

    Has a peek at the M&S sale but it was all too casual for where I work:confused: Sharp suits and crisp shirts are the order of the day.

    Looks like I'll have to invest in a semi decent suit with a couple pairs of trousers and hope it'll do. I might get away with a smart dress on the odd day but because clients pop in out of the blue need to be smart all the time. No smart casual in this office!

    LOL. I've been living on soft fruit during the day at work instead of a normal lunch and have noticed I'm more erm 'regular':rotfl:

    Yesterday was a punnet of cherries and some strawberies. Today a box of red grapes. More cherries and nectarines lined up for tomorrow. I nibbling on bits of fruit keep away the nausea at the moment.
    If this is my craving its going to get really expensive once summer is over:eek: but at least its quite healthy
