Now have you ever tried chocolate with chilli??? Possibly an acquired taste, but I really liked it!
The beautiful Juliette Binoche :rolleyes: plays Vianne in the equally beautiful film Chocolat , she makes a hot chocolate drink and adds chilli pepper to it.
Now my dear piquant this week I am imagining you dressed as her making all her chocolate goodies in her chocolate shop.Member of change Pip's name back to PIP club

Now that's one of my favourite films...apparently I do look a little like Juliette's plainer sister! Unfortunately, Johnny Depp's plainer brother has yet to make his way over here. Still hoping...
The handstand position I was referring to in an earlier post is Piquant speak for 'we bucked all the way' ie sir's bottom was more up than down...fancied himself as a rodeo horse this weekend....

Seconded - I missed my favourite sparring partner - and all that safety gear out as well!!!:D
hope you are good today and the job isn't getting you down too much.
Silly question - Have you ever thought of a career change? Not advocating you just stop going to work, but, you aren't happy (I know its a terrible atmosphere ) so I wondered what fun things can you think up doing instead or ever had a burning desire to do?
I went to university originally to be an accountant - did accounting and law (yeah i know stop sniggering - an accountant - me?!!?? look at the mess my finances are in now!! lol - clearly wasn't veyr good was I?) When I got ousted from my hubby - I took about 6 months thinking about what I wanted to do and it turned out to be flowers not finances.
You have probably suggested things before so excuse my not remembering but just wondered - what you would really love to do for work?? Just curious!:D
Please no crops!!!!!!
...trying not to let the job under my skin again, very difficult, idiot boss' current idea is to get one person to do the work of seven, then make six people redundant - words fail me...
I have thought endlessly about a change of career, but I don't know what else I could do. I don't think you can gossip and ride a horse for a living.
My biggest problem is these debts, I have to try and clear them, because whatever else I do I will not be paid as much. I am on quite a good salary and if I continue to focus as I have been doing I could clear most of the debt in two years. Based on keeping my job of course.Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

Clearing things in two years is a real incentive - great for you.
Maybe after that you can be a gossip columnist for a horsey etiquette mag or something fun - I always remember the bit in Notting Hill, wasn't he from 'Horse and Hound' what about 'Horse and Cat'?? (sorry being silly now. x)
Or publish the greatest work of the Captain's adventures. Me thinks this would be your little gold mine xxxxTotal debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:

A sort of Marley and me, you mean? I have written about the Captain on another site over the years and several people have suggested I get my stories published, but I have no idea how you go about it. Perhaps I need to investigate ready for when I don't have a job, scary thought...Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

daily update
...not much of one really, I've paid 10.16 across to the card, next week I hope to pay the council tax across as it's one of the months off.
My main task is not letting things get on top of me, keep concentrating on spending as little as possible to be able to buy my freedom...Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

When I was thinking of writing (plants what else) the great plant god in Englandshire (AT) told me to get a hold of this book and it would point me on my steady road to getting started.

Its in most libraries - and it gives you all the mags, what kind of thing they like, general ideas of who much they might pay etc etc etc Looks like its now a resource online as well.

Did a shameless thing - wore a very pretty stripey pink potentially cut low (but not low) blouse today - wonderbra (not that he could see it) and lovely well fitting trousers.
Evil supervisor couldn't look me in the eye (or the shirt) as it seems I think and fear potentially he has never been very close to a woman. My pal pointed it out once before and said it would be my best weapon of attack - to actually look like a girl when I have a bad meeting. he he he he he evil evil girl.
ps one of your bosses brothers is working here - increased crop areas, etc and they cut my old post last year - but as I am still in the department - funnilyenough I often seem to be doing my old job and my new job. Its a bit like BOGOF - they really are somethingTotal debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
