j... Dr has signed me off for a week. BP is low a...and said I just need rest. I feel a bit of a fraud but am relieved.

There is no need to feel a fraud Rach - you're growing a baby for heaven's sake. Knowing the sort of commute you do to work, it's not surprising you're tired - put those feet up and incubate that baby! xx

Note to self - cross Penelope Penguin off your Christmas card list

I'm here, I'm fine - just exceedingly broke and marginally depressed about that. Seems I'm now too old to get a proper job.... I have also been busy - with the voluntary stuff (I am leading the planning of an event on 10th July) which, unfortunately, does not pay the bills. But hey ho.

I currently have a banana cake ~go me! - polishes fingernails casually but self-importantly~ in the oven. DiL's Grandma is in the country for a month or so. Of course I had to do the "she must come visit" thing.

Given she speaks no English (apart from Hello) I decided dinner with two way translations would be too tedious so I settled on inviting her over for a traditional English tea at 3pm tomorrow with Dil's parents as accompanying translaters. Finger sandwiches, scones, cream, jam, cake the lot.

Thank goodness the weather is set fair so we can take tea in the garden. If I'm really lucky, there'll be a cricket match on at the field the other side of the bottom garden fence. How English will that be? Cucumber and smoked salmon finger sandwiches (no ham because she's Muslem) with scones etc. AND the thock of leather on willow and the occasional cry of Howzat!?

Hope all are well, haven't had time to catch up much other than above - but there was something about Valli and an important text???

Give me a shout if you want to discuss... you're certainly NOT too old for a proper job (most of the people I work with don't start where I am till they're older than you :p I'm the baby...)

Soappie keeping everything crossed for gainful employment and hope tea on the lawn is just divine. I like cricket (good job too with my kids - actually they are currently playing badders on the lawn - where is Mudders?)

About to dispatch DH to the loft to get the car boot stuff down. Then I'll have my second glass of wine.

Visited the venue today. The place is really nice, but I'm a bit worried, because we were dealing with the assistant operations manager, and Moon said he'd pay the £300 now, and then we had lunch there which was really nice, and not very expensive either, and went back down to see said manager, and he said he'd spoken to his manager, and that his manager wanted to give us a call tonight, and for him to not take any money yet! Needless to say, the manager hasn't called, and I've just called there and he will call us tomorrow morning, but I'm a bit concerned that they are going to turn around now and say they can't do it or something! Very stressful, as I thought us going in today would seal the deal. :mad:
