You see I ask for feedback and then I get some - lovely isn't it

Hello Fay and gang

I also thought of you last night when watching Kirsties Homemade House - the willow baskets were loverly! What colour is your willow? They had so many different varieities and they were all sorts of different colours! Gorgeous!

I went to a work thing in Kensington today (fancy & posh bit of London) and so had to visit the shops afterwards. They have a massive Whole Foods Market there which is a very fancy and expensive organic supermarket but they sell lovely and strange food. I spent £14 on a loaf of bread, two bit of cheese, some teabags & two different kinds of nut butter :eek::eek: But all lovely things you can't get in Tescos and I never go there so I decided not to worry about it!

They have this self service section where you can buy all sorts of things in the quantities you choose (rice, polenta, nuts, grains, muesli ingredients, dried fruit etc) and they have these machines where you can make your own nut butter. I got some pistachio butter and almond butter - I think the machines are a lot of fun and you also get to print off your own labels for the tubs..... I have to say I get a lot of pleasure from small things some times!

LT - re: dilemma - agree with other posters, if you have notified them of this on many occasions then you have discharged your duty towards them. If they fail to take notice of your calls and have poor accounting systems then you are not to blame.

Fay - you def deserve weekend off. Try to not think about evil supervisor and have a nice relaxing time.

LOL - Fay, that mail thing is pretty impressive...mind you, we posted cards to people on a Friday morning from North Uist and they arrived on the Saturday morning so maybe Phuist Rìoghail are getting their act together at last?!

LT - I agree with everyone else - so long as you have in writing from them that everything is straight stash that cash and let it lie.

Makeup - the place at Kensington sounds marvellous - will have to investigate further!

Fay (again) your list of positives speaks for itself - stick with it girl, it'll all be worth it in the end.

I shall go now - I' ve had a hectic day and opened a bottle of wine as soon as I got in tonight (bang goes the idea of processing last nights piccies then - I don't dare do it after a glass or two!) and am now nearly at the bottom of said bottle - my aim on the laptop keyboard is NOt the great. Hugs to all - might go and check out the online banking and update my own diary in a while......
