    We couldn't play games, even solitaire on the PCs was disabled.

    We are allowed to bring in magazines and books but no games.

    I have to say that our flu centres have been very well run, with staff levels reduced or centres closed accordingly due to demand.

    The opening hours change every week depending on demand.

    I'm working at our largest anti-viral collection centre this bank holiday monday.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I like fig rolls.

    I LOVE chocolate hobnobs and oreos.

    I'm not a chocolate lover at all, it's very rare that I have any, when I do it has to be very high cocoa, dark and quite bitter.

    I'm a savoury person, things like cheese & crackers and crisps are my weaknesses.

    It's probably not even that, every PCT has done it's own thing so other Northern ones could be completely different to ours.

    Well I got off my backside and walked into town and back via the harbour....France was really clear too which normally means rain later.

    We've got all sorts of beaches within walking distance, sandy ones, rocky ones and stoney ones - there's pictures in my FB albums.

    I finished the jaffa cakes last night and forgot to buy any more :eek:

    I am hiding from the sergent major off an Officer and a gentleman.......namely my OH, honestly he has turned into some sort of walking machine.

    I didnt feel up to the 6 mile walk today so he went on and on and on at me.......he has gone off on his own with his MP3 player on listening to U2:D

    Supposed to be making the dinner and doing housework *he he he* but I am lounging around on the sofa:cool:

    Hiya Jinks babes :kisses3:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
