    I'd love that, or a bed. I spent all that time getting well enough to get up, and now I kinda wish I could go back to bed!

    fc: yes, sequins are great but LFW is coming up so Rach is busy working all hours to fit round it. You need to have a show on so we can all glam up. Hope the new next big thing is working out ok. and the holy grail of shops is THE place to be :)


    If she can't get an outfit together in time, you could borrow one of the sequin numbers (then adapt the inspiration around the style ;))

    Working at HG level keeps me in a constant state of angst and wiredness as I have this awful feeling that nothing I do is good enough....though I know in reality that it is......but but but...I can't help the feeling.

    If anyone goes on FB, I think DD put some pics up of the window space we are in this week. We move to our smaller perm position next week.

    Also just had the direst PR experience.
    Now I know why we don't use them. We got sold ''The Dealio'' (and that phrase sums up the type of people that they are.......so you can imagine what they were like) and I can't face writing about it now as I am over the crossness I felt but I still feel really P'd off.
    I'll update here once I have sacked them tomo.
    Thank goodness is was a months trial with 7 days notice.
    Ghastly.

    It started with chicken (I very rarely eat chicken midweek) and went via me thinking I wanted some thing a bit piquant. I have no garlic, but I think I fancied something like ginger and cashew nuts and pak choi and a bit of heat and instead I guess I was still thinking east, as I delved through the five, yes five, bottles of oyster sauce it turns out I have, to soy sauce (another rare thing for me, I love it but limit it) and rice wine vinegar, and chilli and a bit of sugar (another thing ''I'' don't eat) some tomato puree (nothing fresh).

    It tasted like a monster munch crisp flavour....which is ok for crisps less ideal for food,

    so I started flinging things at it, not sure what by that point. That never works. :o

    I ate a banana.

    Did DH eat up?

    To cheer us up yesterday I bought amazing steak from the market (£16 for 4 pieces :eek:), cooked it through in foil in the oven and made a barbecue. Unfortunately, I used too much wood and it was a right furnace. Popped the meat and veg on it once the flames had gone but the lot went black and charred in seconds. :( Even the fox struggled with it. It burned for hours afterwards too.
    Yes.


    A week! Loving it.

    Just need lots of space and loads and loads of tools now :)

    Wow sounds ace........is it a nice group too?

    ?


    He's not here. I think he's even not at the office but rather having a meal with friends. :) which is of course, brilliant. But no, I don't think he would have eaten it.

    With a bit of practice, maybe you can knock up some door fittings for LIR.

    I did pass a van once that had a grass exterior. It's fake grass.... but all over. It belongs to Innocent Smoothie range of drinks who have a few of them.
