    So, no pressure then! Did you sort, or is it still outstanding? If so, can we help at all? Pm if you prefer.

    Lets just say my levels of self loathing are at an all time high. :(

    Home from a nice long day at work, fairly quiet morning shift, steady second location shift and the last one was dead until 2 hours before closing when it got a touch busy - thankfully rescuing me from caving in to offers of a night out in town which would have resulted in me needing to kick one of the guys out of his room so I could stay at work over night since there'd have been no way I'd be driving home! :beer:

    If you thought carefully about your response, then you shouldn't be knocking yourself around, even if it was a difficult/unpleasant thing.

    I say this with lots of sympathy as I've just been in the awful position of telling someone something I knew they didn't want to hear, but needed to. Technically, I know it's better in the long run, but that doesn't make it any nicer in the short run *reaches for the choccie* :( *offers bag to Scuba*

    The main problem being that while a decision has been made there is alot I now can't do to resolve it all for quite some time. You have of course had a pm, which contains fuller details (yet still not the full length story :/ ). Thus know why there is so much beating myself up about it all going on.

    In the mean time I have finished my swagbucks challenge for the day, two pints of strawberry and lime cider (so yummy) which went straight to my head, and some toast when I realised just how tipsy I felt!

    ahhhhhh, oooooo, thank you! I love their pear cider and it'd be rude not to try each and every one of their other flavours wouldn't it? *readies the pint glass, remembers it's 2am on Easter Sunday, settles back down again*

    Oh god I hadn't realised the time! I need sleep, was up at 5am for work today/yesterday, no wonder the cider has gone straight to my poor empty head!

    If it helps I know Mr T sells the s&l and fruity ones in both boxes of 6 pint bottles and packs of 4 smaller ones plus as far as I can remember individually - although most pubs have it these days too.

    Lordy how did I get a hangover from 2 pints of cider?

    Woke up at 6.30am.....mouth felt like someone had chucked some sillica gel in there over night, so I got up and went for a run. Running the tow path at that time was lovely, saw either 8 different deer or the same group of 4 twice while they were mocking my slow progress.

    Who on earth chooses a job which means working all the BH weekend?

    Meh, am home now and after a run and a bath am seeking food in what is usually referred to as a kitchen rather than a cider and wine store room!

    Need to have a shower and wash my hair shortly as I'm off out for a drink or two later and keep looking at the state of the house and thinking I need to tidy up but then decide I can do it later!

    Evening in the pub was lovely, was great to get a male perspective on all the stuff going on in my head and as expected my friend was fabulous when it came to making sure my wine glass was well filled. :)
