Girlie magazines are plain wrapped on the top shelf.











The press today got the same contempt as Mr Gall did during his broadcasts from Riyadh in 1990 Too many late nights

BoP - The picture you posted was much more fitting than the disgusting news reports that have been put out, why are they giving them the coverage they want :mad: I turned my TV off last night in disgust, I know they need to report these things but the way it was reported was not necessary

It was the same on 3rd May 1982


































The press today were in the gutter.

Hmmm today did not go as planned.
1) made appointment to see nurse later and bounced into my 8:30 meeting where we sniggered shamelessly at the abstract from a student doing a phd about designing a robot for a one stop holistic colon clearing. Not laughing at the colon cleaning, a definite necessity for those having invasive investigations, but holistic? One stop? Amazed he didnt add 'while you wait'
2) then dashed to 10am meeting where we got through all the cases hooray. Lunch provided nom nom then dash to nurse who...
3) said hmmm 2 weeks since your cough started. Will need to do nose swab AND blood test as the nose swab is for people up to 2 weeks and the blood test for longer than 2 weeks. Oh lucky me! Am adding nose swab to one of my 50 first experiences!
4) took bus to ninewells and had cuppa with 2 friends (one is doing a phd on colonrectal screening so mentioned the holistic one stop robot). Got back to my desk with phone message from public health and...
5) i have been quarantined till next thursday in case it's whooping cough. Dd2's bf was diagnosed 2 days ago hence appointment with nurse. Was mighty fed up as was cathcing up on work nicely. Have to admit have now got used to a week at home :-) already in bed and about to catch up on ambridge. Shall also add being quarantined to 50 as most definitely another first! That takes me to 31

I am not so happy after I was “told” I will be in the office on the day I booked as leave back in Feb:eek::(. To say the CV is back out there is an understatement, it's time to move on.

1. Used Tesco voucher and filled up with diesel
2. Stew with dumplings simmering away something a little healthy while I am running around
3. Off to pick up animal that has been found in not a great way from our vets phoned us picked him up and he’s a sweetie.:)
4. Received a few calls about jobs but nothing “real” yet.

6. Picked up some RTC bad cheese cake and goodies to take with us from Mr T tonight and
7. A few tins of woobleade on offer.

I appear to have gone into organizational cleaning overload as I so so annoyed.

Today's gem was "dispute resolution can be defined as the resolution of disputes"

In other news

I went on the train to Manchester and had lunch with my former colleague.
He paid
Caught train home with DD part of way
OH cooked tea cos I had pie and chips in the pub - it was deeeeelicioussssss
Spoke to a dear friend who we tend to only speak to rarely, due to us all being so stupidly busy. We are hoping to meet up in a week or so. This is partly why I am giving up the girly weekends away as i spend these with someone I don't like and sacrifice seeing someone I do.

Night all - i'm off to bed

Frith

Dundeedoll - I've had whooping cough and it actually wasn't too bad! Hope you are OK.

Pleasures for today:

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Nice porridge for breakfast.

3) Went to smaller son's school for his progress meeting. He is progressing nicely! Also found out while I was there that the specialist teacher went in to observe him (he didn't notice) and he has a place ready for him in a few weeks in an autism unit. It seems the waiting list can be up to a year (only 8 places in the county, it appears) but they actually have a vacancy.

4) Made this for tea, was very nice. http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/pulses-recipes/vegetarian-chilli

5) Sons very jolly this evening.

That's about it!

Woobleade :beer::beer::beer:
New on BoP that. That will be lasses then after too many (Few imo) Babychams and the top parts start to loosen up!! mmmm. Goodness I am home!

bop that makes me sound like i was trimming black hairs :rotfl: mine is beautifully red

Though I have to say about noses, I still pay full price at the barbers, and get my moneys worth with the hairdresser, at least I has not gone rusty over the years

Normal disservice is resumed!

Appear some have been upset by our media. The Sun Reporter was sent, beer in tossed hand, packing from the Wheatsheaf in May 1982. Long before other campaigns.

As for TV, last night was a good old black and white classic, and I still think she should had stayed in the flat with the Dr. Good shots of Carnforth Railway stations as well! And the bored for Leeds Bradford. Guess you can still get there from under the clock. Ms BoP was duly tear jerked as well. (BoP leant his hankie) (No I as not gone all soft either!!!)

Shopping day, gets some of that new fangled Woobleade as well as things for Ms Whacks legs, netted this month.

Second day of the Heart Monitor and boy is it ... Well I thinks Jenny and the external wire are chatting a bit!

Thinks' I will have some cake and a bit of tea later on.

Now bank holiday weekend and it is a goodbye from The Yellow Thing

Oh, and apologies if my references were blunt. If I had said it like I should, BoP would be banned!

Morning

DD - Get well now
PK - Have a great weekend in the COL
Lovefullshelves - Which essential oil are you using? Think may need to try some

Pleasures for yesterday,
1. Bacon sandwich at work for breakfast, we were selling them for charity so would have been rude not to.
2. Yummy cake at work due to charity day, again would have been rude not to try them
3. Remembered to put beef in the slow cooker before work so had slow cooked beef in pepper sauce for dinner with Rosti potatoes for dinner, always popular.
4. Nice soak in the bath and an early night, bliss


Hugs to all who need them

Chickenopolis

Dundee - I hope that you are o.k ??? You will excuse me if I don't give you a hug though....;)

PK- being "told" to do something has never worked with me either ( and never will) I hope the new animal arrival is ok? Have a great weekend !

lovefullshelves - Crikey . No wonder you deserve a long soak !

Have a lovely day all !
