    ARGH I've got 1300 cartons of hot choc, someone somewhere must want some (and not care about the ol' waistline for a day or two).. got a bit of a narky reply on the charity board about thinking carehomes are charities...

    I just want to do a nice thing and give people some nice stuff and if I can give a little smile to some people who dont get to smile too much, all the better.

    Wanted to try and do it this way before just handing it out on the street but I might just have to do it that way instead.

    And yes it is posh and got lots of yummy flavours xx

    Yummmmmmm

    It's a really kind thing to do.

    Well, if the charities arent bothered about it, I'll see if I can find a large envelope and some stamps. We're all rather partial to hot choc round here, plus I could put some in the staff room, and make some teachers very happy ;)
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    A full box of them is pretty heavy but a couple of packs (300g in each pack) wouldnt be too bad.
    Happy to post if you're happy to have them LOL

    Ahh Peaches, you know I'll have some put aside for you somewhere.... under the counter specials LOL

    DJ- That was a really nice post, thank-you for that.
    Really cheered me up.

    Got a couple of days off now and really want to just lounge in bed, dont know why. Been feeling a bit lack lustre just lately but then work has been really busy as Ive taken on some extra jobs for our head office and THAT colleague of mine threw his toys out of his pram because of it! Argh office politics.

    ARGH...

    am in a right old mood today.
    DH found out yesterday that his applicating to the london fire brigade has been rejected because he doesnt fit the desired demographic...
    So he's been in a right mood. I took him out last night for a nice meal to try and take his mind off it, and took him out to buy him some slipper coz his feet r getting cold in the flat but hes just in a strop.
    I know its a blow etc but it was always a long shot, and its not like he cant apply for another.

    I dont know maybe im being really harsh because i dont understand his "dream" as he keeps referring to it, because well I dont have any dreams so Im seeming like a right heartless cow.
    But now Im in a really foul mood, and cant shift it, and just cant be bothered with doing anything at all, which is really annoying because before i was built up to have a really eventful and productive day..

    Now it just seems like nothing is going right for us now, the worst 3 months of my life! I want to crawl into bed and stay there...
