    Scullery! Great word!

    Only other people I've heard use that are my dearly missed grandparents!

    OH and I disagree on the way forward (he being Mr Practical and me being Mrs uber emotional) so lots of heated debate on the fire escape right now (which is where we meet to discuss ''strategy'' :))

    Working through. But I suggest the right answer is somewhere between the 2.

    Good luck - would love to know the good news.#

    We miss you here btw...:)

    I have friends who use "need" all the time, & I have to be honest it bugs the hell out of me. That & same difference!:mad:

    I have this argument with Isaac. He's got an excuse, though - he's 6!

    Hello to you, too!

    I'm just filtering and bottling my sloe gin, at this time of year.

    I'm absolutely shattered. Istanbul last weekend, in court every day this week, culminating with being up until 3am writing a skeleton for next week, then getting up at 6 to go to Manchester. Just got back!

    But PN doesn't want to do uber-geek coding, and doesn't want to manage a team of people. Her expertise is in public domain internet - hubpages and so on - and things connected with internet advertising, not tracking down covert cells of terrorists or whatever. She wants to live near beaches - they're in short supply in and around Cheltenham - and she doesn't want to be tied down to a 9.00-5.30 job. She's a rather non-conformist person who would absolutely hate to have to see a vetting person every year or six months or however often it is, and be grilled by a stranger asking detailed questions about every aspect of her private life.

    In short, I think a GCHQ job, even if she got it, would make her miserable.
    ...and you can't put a price on happiness.

    When people say act your age & all that, I have to explain to them that I still feel exactly the same way as when I was 6 years old.

    Except for an increased interest in girls...;)

    so....I collapsed today. Anyone can faint and its really hot . I don't know if I fainted or if it was a brain broken type of thing (it was a big symptom early on but rarely happens now). I've scared myself silly and I'm shaking like a leaf.

    lir hope all is ok. Did you blackout the same way as before, or different?

    Are you alone?

    I had a friend who had some form of seizure not too long ago. Scariest thing that ever happened to him by all accounts. His dad was with him - they were diy-ing at the time. His biggest fear was what if his dad hadn't been there & rung an ambulance.

    I sincerely hope this was an isolated incident for you.
