40 and Foolish!

Morning Robin: I think you can read my mind. so here goes:

1. I work for a US Based Company
2. One of their 3 flagship products is the best, most popular, most expensive, most feature filled business to business video teleconferencing platforms and devices on the planet. (can you believe the irony!)
3. OH and I figured out that we havent been alone at Christmas in 5 years. Boy are we looking forward to it.

Your crystal ball is a little cloudy on OH being hubby. We are wife and wife. Hope that doesn't put you off from posting!

That being said, because we are wife and wife, my mother often gives us the exact same gift for xmas. ?!?! It drives us bonkers xx

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:, I wonder what you'll both be getting this year?? My sisters are identical twins and they used to be driven absolutely mad by this too xx.

we have had matching socks, sensa pens, and jigsaw puzzles (the same one)

Hopefully things will be looking up

Not surprised at number one. Should I assume number two doesn't actually work?! ..Not a great advert if you have to get on a 'plane rather than use the thing, lol!

- You make the most of it! As my own example shows, we never know what the future will bring!

Oops! I am so sorry! ..Funnily enough I did hesitate after writing 'hubby' but couldn't work out why so carried on.. Have corrected my earlier post now and promise I won't forget again (or if I do, please call in the white-jacketed ones to collect me!).
Why would it put me off posting? Quite the reverse actually.

Aww <chuckle> maybe you should give her a list of 'wants' to choose from? Or two actually!

Rainbow Bridge the matching gifts things for your sisters must be so upsetting. I will send good vibes for this year.

Robin, the stupid teleconferencing works a treat, but customers dont feel special if you dont go to see them face to face apparently!

So basically I am sitting by the front door in case my passport drops through the door. I can but hope!

Really? If I was a customer I'd be cross that your costs are elevated - and presumably passed on to me - so wastefully! Especially given that your firm produce a product which could save so much in resources.
..I would be a tricky client to please (often get very annoyed with general US profligacy!).

Keeping fingers crossed for you, but would be amazed if it arrives in less than two weeks!

Robin, as you so rightly guessed no passport yesterday. So far nothing today either.

I am setting myself a challenge in the 10 week run up to Christmas to lose 2lbs a week so my holiday snaps are not appalling this year.

Also as you all know from previous posts I am having this surgery and I dont want a beach ball of a belly and no boobs.

So here is my latest passing thought: what about a mastectomy scar tattoo? Since I can not have implants again, maybe that would add some flowers or something where the ugly part will be.

In MSE news: I made £10 yesterday. not massive but more than nothing. I also discovered my company will do tuition refund of $7,500 a year (American money) so I am going to ask my boss if I can do it and train to do something else on their dime. He can say no, but actually they want to keep me so let's hope.

I think that is a wonderful, inspiring idea, what does OH think?

I know that you can shift that weight, go for it, there are many gorgeous women that have little up top, and are envied for that fact. Look at Kate Middleton for one xx.
