The (not so old) Crocks Cafe

Horace

Its a bit early for a little cheeky red, I will stick to coffee some of that nice dowe egberts with milk and two sugars please:D I am gasping, I haven't had a drink since I got out of bed this morning:eek:

Had a hellish day which involved me talking to the Institute who run my wedding planning course because my tutor gets on my tit - she never reads what I write and makes inane comments plus I am sure she can't count, the assignment said the client wanted an 8 piece orchestra and a load of other stuff but her budget was only £3000, I suggested lots of moneysaving ideas and even got a quote from a string quartet. Now the last time I looked a quartet had 4 people in it and was half the number of an 8-piece orchestra but it would appear that my tutor doesnt know that so she penalised me:mad: I have spoken to other students whom she is tutor to and they have all said the same. Well, I now have a new tutor but I want all my previous assignments remarked but have been told its not possible so I made another call to ASET who accredit the course for their comments. Can't you see I'm on my soapbox today:rolleyes:

Oh and I went out earlier and picked up a box of christmas decorations from a freecycler, she was clearing out an old lady's home, pity some of the glass ones have broken but I managed to salvage about 12 of these lovely old glass ones. I also have a box of plastic flowers, a hanging sign and a crochetted santa and snowman (they need a wash).

Sorry for whinging, I just needed to get if off my chest LOL.

Hello all :wave:
I'm sleepy and I've had ME/CFS for a looong time now, I also have chronic migraine *creaks* :rolleyes: I'm married to an absolutely lovely eejit of a man, no kids (health never allowed for them) but have an old moggie and a 10/11 wk old pup who I'm fostering for my parents for a few months. Good to see this place so busy, hopefully it'll be a haven from the nonsense

Who switched the lights off? I came stumbling in here looking for a nice hot chocolate with squirty cream and a flake but everyone must have gone home:rolleyes:

altocumulus

Horace

Ooh sorry I overslept, I shall get the kettle on.

Would you like a newspaper to read whilst you are waiting?:D

sparrer

Oh goody, you're open :T ...can I just pop my Mr A bags down here in the corner (avoiding kevsams blanky ) while I nip to the market? Heard tell they're selling scoops of 'nanas at £1 a scoop and I love me 'nanas :rolleyes: . I'll be back for my EG and a buttery crumpet shortly!

Horace
