    Byatt - am so excited for you:j:j:j

    Am dealing with group crisis, one member made a comment yesterday that another has taken the wrong way and I am caught in cross fire.
    The trouble is that one gets hold of the wrong end of stick and the other is definitely autistic so speaks without thinking. I think I need Kofi Anan or whoever :D

    This is the bit that worries me about my role, I spent years in my volunteer role being told I was tactless, undiplomatic and not a people person so having to deal with this now really worries me.

    Fuddle - any news yet? am on edge of my seat (but am with kittie and will be breaking out the wine too)

    Nope, no news yet. I guess it all depends now on how quickly my present LL gets the reference to them. I hope they just call them. I know DH's boss just rang and did it over the phone.

    I just wish I knew for sure, although it is looking better now. Fingers crossed.

    Byatt. Hurry on woman ;) tell us have you got a fire?!

    Morning All,

    Just had to post the slightly bleared eyed conversation I had with OH at 0630 this morning. I was fast asleep before he got home last night so we hadn't had a chance to chat about the the weekend:

    Me: "So do you want to go and see Skyfall this evening?"
    OH: "To be honest I'm too tired, I might fall asleep"
    Me: "Ok, in that case it's Softstuff chickpea curry for tea"
    OH: "Brilliant - that sounds like a much better idea"

    So there you go Softstuff - you are officially better than 007 :p

    That's tickled me so much I changed my sig! I'm just sorry that my current recipes have less common ingredients, so they wouldn't be as welcome I reckon.

    So glad about your stove Byatt :p:T

    Well, good news/bad news today. Bad news is I was half an hour late with my tablets and the world suddenly turned into a giant waltzer. In other words, I'm not as good as I thought I was and an MRI/possible MS is not quite off the cards yet. Good news is, we just went out to dinner because hubby got a pay rise. Though, that might just pay for more tablets for me.... :rotfl: Oh and virtual margaritas all round!

    How about you post them and we decide whether they're welcome;)

    Hope the waltzer has stopped and you enjoyed a lovely dinner out cos if anyone deserves a break at the moment it's you!

    mild mild mild. We`ll have no trouble getting to dd`s for christmas and perhaps the winter tyres were a waste of money, well they will be for december anyway. Fuddle, NO SNOW and thats 80% sure. Scotland should get their usual falls towards end of month. That`s it in a nutshell but I did it quickly

    You know why it's going to be mild don't you - because Byatt just got her stove sorted! It CANNOT be a coincidence. Suits me!
