    Oh Jo, it could only happen to you :rotfl:

    Yes BF knows about this job, he was the one to bring the paper it was advertised on.

    It is nice and hot here as well. Didn't manage to get out of work on time so my run to the nursery was a bit hurried - I knocked whole 1 minute off from my yesterday's time :) Actually I did it faster this afternoon uphill than I did it in the morning down hill :jOff to update my training log...

    Evening everyone!

    Tis quiet on here today...logged on at work and found us lurking down on page 3!:eek:

    About to leave to go home. I may complain about my job but I can leave as soon as I'm done, but still get paid till 8pm:D:money:

    No bells tonight which is good. But think thats because I feel a bit rough. Throat still hurting. Lovely.

    Hope everyone is ok and is busy huffing!!!

    Miss P

    Evening again,

    I shall be huffing tonight as I will not leave this house not even to put the car into garage.

    Boo - I was going to go to ChiRunning workshop this weekend and it is cancelled. Ex was supposed to have DD but now as I am not going to London for the workshop he can't come to pick her up from our normal pick up point. And if the weather stays nice BF is working and can't come to visit us. I did get my ChiRunning DVD and 3 audio CD's today in the post so off I go to watch the DVD as consolation.

    I have had some rye bread and sausages for tea and caramel egg for pudding - ugh, didn't realise just how filling it was... (when the choccies in the house are gone, they are gone - this will become sweety free zone apart from little secret stash I have for DD - it doesn't bother me as it is not mine)

    I found this and thought that I would share:
    Brighton and Hove is drinking itself to death, according to the city’s top doctor.
    The number of alcohol-related hospital admissions, crimes, and deaths has all increased as drinkers continue to ignore health advice.
    Dr Tom Scanlon, the director of public health for Brighton and Hove, has now called for immediate action to stem the rising tide of medical and social issues.

    Some methods A.A. members have used for not drinking.
