writing a couple of Christmas cards (including to my godfather's daughter who has just had a major brain op after an aneurism burst somewhere really inaccessible near the brain stem...),
BUT

... I've just been seeing the emails going past, and yet another IDIOT has completely mis-understood the concept of commercial confidentiality, customer/supplier relationships and it looks like I'm now going to spend tomorrow trying to get the person responsible to understand how they got into the mess and what they need to do to sort it out (them, not me), plus briefing the lawyers so they can advise strategy.

Why do people do these things?!

Hopefully I'll catch up properly at the weekend... (oh yes, and I've got a cold, but I'm FAR too busy!)

poor girl - what a trauma for her and her family - positive thoughts for them.

I dont not envy the poor IDIOT when you catch up with him tomorrow - they just dont seem to realise the repercussions of their actions and the number of people involved and [STRIKE]man[/STRIKE] woman hours sorting it out! Good luck - I think you might need it!

Was out with a friend this afternoon - well from 1pm - so she could buy my christmas which was nice and we were in a designer outlet that I hadnt been to before - I might have been in you area jjef - had a baked potato and coleslaw for lunch and then we came back and went to the garden centre for a snack to keep us going and I had the runs!!! not once but twice and felt drreadful but tum has settled now but not eaten yet - must have been dodgy coleslaw!!!
Managed to get my SIL presie and it was BOGOF so she will be getting 2 for less than i would have paid for 1 here!
Friend got me a nice handbag for £22 (was £77!) but i wont get it until christmas.
No flying done but will catch up when its the kids rooms

greenbee, hope your godfather's daughter is recovering well, such dangerous surgery but amazing what can be done now. I read something about that rights thing this morning but must admit can't remember the full details. Good luck with the work issue, that sounds like a nightmare.
toots unlikely that it was what you ate this afternoon, more likely to have been something at least 12 hours before. However some nasty bugs going round everywhere so might be one of those.

Someones switched my DP for someone else, ok he's still grumpy, but, he's stopped putting the heating on all day and is wearing more layers instead, plus, he's getting someone (who I don't like so you know who) to pay off his CC bills and chopping the cards up. He can then repay interest free. Still doubtful that he might run them up again, but a bit of a shock that he's even wanting to try!

M&S have sent me an order code so I can order with a 20% off again before Xmas (17th I think) which I thought was good considering they are already sending the replacements out with the 20% off and free delivery. Have had worse experiences.

Packups to do then bedtime me thinks, feeling worn out. Got the viewing at lunch time which I am trying to think positive about but doubtful it'll be suitable for us, it's half the price but I think it'll also be half the house.

Goodnight all x

rach
