Gyms are for people who don't have any pies in their lives...

Ladies, do you ever have a day where you get up in the morning feeling like sh*t, get by through the day filled with nothing but caffeine lining your stomach, chuck on the first clothes you find, look in the mirror and think you died at the night and appear to be decomposing? That's me this morning.

So apologies to the NP that I met for the first time today. I don't normally look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards, honest... First impressions and all that.

I hear you sister. My head extensions looked well ropey this morning.

Not in my case. Just had lovely GU dark chocolate pudding with lashings of custard and supping coffee.

I go to the gym to eat more cake. I have no interest in looking like a stick insect

I met my first real life NP today and she was even more wonderful than I had imagined so I can't wait to meet the rest of you. (The only thing that is a bit disappointing really as it means that you are not all figments of my imagination) She looked great to me (definitely had hair) and no backward hedge type appearance so was obviously not the one who had had an adventurous night last night.

Weirdly it was hard to make conversation as although we know a fair bit about each other it was in front of colleagues and somehow it just seems strange having only spoken here.
I must also apologize for turning up at reception and asking if xyz was there as I knew her cos I am her internet stalker.

..... and I mistook her for a bag lady. I held onto my wallet and got away with my life (and wallet).

All future meetings with NP are henceforth cancelled.

Ha, ha, ha... Neat edit there m. I definitely didn't look great, I'd already been asked "you alright today?" by a bloke so I know I must have looked dreadful and I was definitely having a multidirectional hair day! These things are important you know.

That's so true! I think that's a combination of the fact that I wasn't feeling great, I couldn't hear very well as it was so bloomin' noisy (yes we were in a library but there was an event happening) and I was very aware that my colleagues were earwigging... I try to keep my interest in house prices and the economy my guilty little secret you know. If you're in that area again for another appointment, you'll need to let me know in advance and I'll meet you for a coffee so we can have a better chat.

Ah, that explains a lot. I got asked so many questions after you'd left! Who's he, how do you know him, what are you doing meeting strangers on the net, what type of sites do you visit?... It was like having a lecture from someone's mum. It all changed though when I told them whose husband you were and they all agreed that you were a lovely family. See, your missus and kids are far more famous in libraryland than you are.

I am really sorry, I didn't have a plan of how I would ask for you as if I knew you when it could have been you or someone standing right next to you that I was asking iyswim? Next time I will get my cover story straight first...

Not famous in libraryland?! - do librarians not read the daily mail ?

Don't worry, it caused much excitement in the library. No need to apologise, it was just funny.

Your challenge if you want to be famous among librarians is to get a slot in the Guardian, or CILIP Update, or um, Heat magazine. Your challenge should you choose to accept it is to make Quidco relevant to the purchase of library books.

.... by using Quidco, you can use your savings to pay your exhorbitant library fees for having vaguely interesting books delivered to your small and inadequate local library
