    MORNING ALL
    am attempting work this morning, really wish I didnt have to but such is.

    Am listening to some god awful Morning Well CD which is supposed to (as it promises me on the case) ease/rid me of my morning sickness....... it wouldnt be so bad if the music wasnt so appaling... think garden centre/elevator pan pipes and you're getting close.

    Have a staple packet for ginger nut biscuits next to me as well and have been contained in the office so dont have to deal with the public too much, thank god!!!
