Squizz's Fizzy Diary

sounds like a great weekend apart from the trolley mishap ... those things are lethal

They are, especially when they're full of bags of pebbles! (well, I say full, we had two bags of pebbles and a bag of compost.. I'm just a weakling :rotfl:)

Not quite sure what I did last night apart from a bit of Pilates and sudoku. And was inspired by Lambing Live which gave me an idea for my essay (don't ask!) which means I should be able to finish it off in the next couple of days.

Work is bugging me today - got a big job to get stuck into but keep getting waylaid by little queries and things. I just keep thinking that once I get to the Easter hols most of the current hassley stuff should be out of the way and I can concentrate on some more interesting things when I get back.

Gah.. harrassed.. by cheese!! At the weekend we decided to order some parmesan and salami from an Italian deli in London - I got Mr S a 1kg block of parmesan as part of his 40th birthday hamper over a year ago and it has lived in our freezer and lasted us this long! So decided to bulk buy some good stuff again. Was supposed to be delivered yesterday, and Mr S had used one of his many holidays to have the day off. Then on Monday I got a call saying that one of the items was out of stock and it wouldn't be delivered till Wednesday. Mr S couldn't take today off as well, so I gave the shop instructions for the courier to leave it in a safe place if they turned up when nobody was in. And now I've just had an email saying they tried to deliver but have taken it back to the depot.. aargh! How hard can it be just to get some cheese! :mad::rotfl:

Other than that.. last counselling session today (I might rant about cheese), and a couple of long boring data inputty type jobs to do. At least the sun is shining

i didnt know cheese could be kept as long ....might be worth hubby and i thinking about that ... parmesan is sooo expensive and we like to get the good stuff too ....

Cheese should be here tomorrow! I didn't mention it at counselling - she got me doing some thinking about what challenges I have coming up and where I want to be in a few years time. Will be a bit weird not talking to someone once a week about everything, just hope I can keep up the good habits...

Yeah you can freeze it. It can go a bit crumbly but not really a problem if you're grating it onto stuff. We just cut a lump off every now and then to go into the fridge.

That sounds more productive than talking about cheese! Maybe you can see her once a month on your own money or something like that? Sounds like she's given you a great start tho.
