I was going to offer to come round and massage you head and neck whilst you read and sipped in the bath but then you let on that DH and parent were around so I guess another time
May be you and DH should come for a visit to Sunny Herts for a few days, you might like the walk in rain shower and big tub despite the utilitarian appearance of the bathroom.

Yes please to massage.
Yesterday i would have jumped at the offer (how would the critters fit in at your place though)
This morning i feel better. We hit the first difficult compromise yesterday (showing btw how excellent the doozer team is, that every single thing been surmountable to this point), and that was annoying. I also had to inject special girl yesterday, which is never that nice. She saw me coming with the stuff and ran away, so i had to go and hide till she was caught. It feels traitorous to stab her with a great big needle. Also, i was just a bit cranky yesterday. Feel better today.
Not sure what i will drink at lunch. I am still craving a glass of champagne/prosecco/cava...even fizzy water..basically anything sparkling and light, but the sparkling thing is a nono, so........0 -

Is that £28k of business debt, or £28k of liabilities, though?
They're two completely different things

Yeah, there are some aisles I never go down:. When I walk in a supermarket, even on a big shop, I'm only going to go down 1/5th of the aisles!lostinrates wrote: »Supermarkets are way huger than i ever realise. I don't buy much frozen, which is silly because its often very mse, but i am alaays amazed at the isle with SO many frozen meals. I rarely go down the bread isle, just look for a whoopsy loaf flr the freezer on the end. The packed lunch multibag of crisp isle.....i didn't even think since jamie oliver and the turkey twizzlers crisps were allowed in packed lunches!, the jar isle is a twice a year wander.....mayo i buy about once a year ( i make mayo if its for a salad or something, but the jared stuff is easier if its one sarnie for dh in otherwise mayo not needed weeks and months. Jarred mayo is one of those foods i think might survive the atom bomb it never actually seems to go off, its just that i cannot stand keeping it after a while. The long life juice isle, once a year. I love juice, but its just too sugary and too tempting.
Anyway, i use few isles!
I never buy juice. I love juice, but it's too high in calories for the volume I get.... so I skip it. I do like to think of getting a carton at Xmas (pineapple and coconut as that's nice), but then I don't. Although, when I do get a house at some future point I will have a freezer and would be able to have enough space to buy/freeze a litre of juice into portions.
There are whole kids' aisles, from nappies to toys - and pet food aisles. Never go down those. I'm never in the booze aisle either. Rarely in the freezer aisle unless I am specifically looking for a frozen dinner to take home right away and eat.
I do love the bread aisle, but am usually sorely disappointed; it's store size dependent whether this is a treasure trove or not. I've got a thing for cheese/onion muffins (although only had them twice now as the packs are so big with 4 huge muffins) - lovely toasted then topped with cheese and beans. Crumpets are another thing I like, but rarely buy because of the pack size.
Having a freezer, at some future point, will make a massive difference to what I can buy. People with a home/proper sized home (not a studio) take freezers for granted. Us peasant-class folks aren't freezer-enabled

What is it, specifically, about the fizzy part that makes it off limits?lostinrates wrote: »Not sure what i will drink at lunch. I am still craving a glass of champagne/prosecco/cava...even fizzy water..basically anything sparkling and light, but the sparkling thing is a nono, so........0 -

I think its pretty much the fizziness of it. I did try ( just out of curiosity has a mouthful of a soft drink) and it was utterly, utterly revoltingly unpleasantly poisonous. Tatsed like west indian hot pepper sauce flavoured sherbet. Not sure what some thing that feels like that in my mouth might do to the inside of me.0 -
Each question was OK but the sheer amont of data processing required for some of the questions without being able to copy and paste the data into excel meant I only got less than three quarters of the way through the main test in the allowed time and that was with full concentration...as I say I have slowed down a lot with age though.
If I had used the last minute to random guess the remaining questions it would of course have have pushed my mark up to 75%.
Love stuff like this. So I've just done it and got 74%.
Bit disappointed I have to say. Without a norming score though it's hard to say just how bad it was. Worked progressively with fewer and fewer checks as time pressure increased and got to question 35 of 38.

You have a needle-phobic horse! How is she with the dentist? :rotfl:No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
