    Evening, I'm shattered, worked all day today in the campus kitchens. My FWB stayed over last night so had less than 4hrs sleep beforehand. Just been watching a film on campus with her so now gonna crash and hopefully restore a decent sleep cycle.

    It's good to be back :D

    Great that TDQ is now a fully connected member :j & welcome to any newbies too.


    All calm here today, my hormones are misbehaving & I could happily have punched someone yesterday, but am now totally [STRIKE]pished[/STRIKE] chilled.

    I really dont handle stress very well, I bottle things up & then simmer internally. Woke up at 4 am & considered sending an email to guy at work who hacked me off :eek: Diva behaviour not good in any work situation, especially when only been there 5 minutes :rolleyes:. Actually was dehydration that woke me up, but then started replaying the day in my mind & got myself all worked up. Basically the guy waited until 15 minutes before I left to remind of an important task that I hadnt done. I know it was a test but I couldnt stop my mouth from tartly replying how a clearly defined job description would be very helpful.

    Will have to be super efficient tomorrow ... as need job to pay for car repairs *wonders if it's too soon to ask for pay rise* :think: :rotfl:

    Enough about me, how's everyone else today ?

    Yay :j congratulations & well done, you are truly F Fabulous :A
  • Hello all, welcome back Lula:j well done on the job souk:j

    I am just having the other half of the bottle of cava I opened last night and have just remembered that I was sick this morning when I woke up, can't believe I forgot such a thing, may be because I was still half asleep. Am worried it may be the cava as I had 2 glasses last night, but it tastes okay. Am also boiling hot and am sat here in a t shirt next to an open window. I hope I am not sickening for something, I can't afford to take time off work. :rolleyes:

    Has everyone had their Baileys sample now? Every thread I read has someone saying they got it in the last couple of weeks, am worried the postman has gone off with mine.:rolleyes:

    Ziggles, I am sorry about the chocs;) You will thank me when they are here:D

    Yay, Lula's back :D Sounds like things have been a bit hectic, but are getting sorted. I know the cambelt is expensive, but probably cheaper than a new engine or car if it had gone!

    Hmmpf, nope, not had a single s0dding freebie. Except the mini-paingone thingy, but I paid postage for that so would have been asking for my money back if I hadn't got it. I signed up with MPS a couple of months ago and am still getting rubbish through the letterbox. I'm now wondering if they're taking my freebies and still sending me carp!!

    I did the free Milka bar thing today and opted to get the voucher sent to me, so I'm half expecting not to receive that either :rolleyes:

    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending

    Hello sarah, thanks for the welcome back * feels all warm & fuzzy *

    Sorry, I've had my sample too, ages ago. I suggest you ask where it is. Lovefilm giving away £1 off vouchers for the same product & co op also doing a deal on it this week. I have 2 vouchers ( lovefilm) so happy to send you mine as I dont think I'm quite over last years 2-litres-in-a-week-baileysathon :o I also have 2 x half price M&S pizza vouchers from lovefilm. Doesnt quite make up for the fact that this week DD ensured I got Incredibles & Horton Hears A Who :mad: but it does help a little.

    Oh dear, I seem to have sleepwalked to the kitchen, poured myself a glass of Balance & returned to pc completely unaware of my actions :confused:

    Must remember to take water to bed tonight & thereby avoid having to tread on cat at 4 am which retaliates by walking over my face at 7 am :rolleyes:

    Hey Gwen :) you're right about the car, its the horror stories of cambelt ripping through engine & essentially writing car off that actually motivated me to get it done.

    I tried that and it wouldn't let me order a voucher and when I logged back in to try again it said I was already a member:mad:. I hate not getting my freebies, I ordered a toblerone one which hasn't arrived yet either:rolleyes:
