fiesty try not to feel too bad about giving the job to someone else you need reliable staff who want to be there and she obviously wasn't bothered enough to make the effort which doesn't make for good customer service

Aliaslotte congrats on job offer!
Pinksteps sorry the doc visit wasn't more positive for you. Sending hugs your way.

Wrapped a couple more pressure tonight, and currently sat debating which DVDs to get for dds stockings, whilst burning `christmas rose`. I'm not usually keen on floral scents but must admit its quite pleasant in its own way!
Tinker-mcjingles!

I'm Cookie Peppermint. Bah, that's rubbish.

There's stags in the window of a shop in this town. I have to go past them every day on my way to work, and every time I see them I think of this thread and you lot.

Argh just lost my post

Baby boo ooooh I'm so glad you've been able to post. I've thought about you often but as Boo couldn't find you on the members list with just that! Aha I won't forget again xxx We really do need to get a voice activated programme sorted for you so you are able to post more often Im so very sorry that you've returned from your break to bad news, that must've been quite a shock. Did you manage to redo your lists today? I think quite a few of us have reached the stage where we've had to reassess and not put ourselves under such stresses. We want to enjoy our favourite time of year, not take the fun out of it It's good to have you back xxx
Linky I love that quote and how blooming true And as for your friend ! How is she your friend? You should've mentioned your Jewish roots, that would've quietened her! I know exactly how you feel re the tree. In recent years as I've said before we've had a small/ medium live tree but before that I've had huge trees, filling my bay. However this year with my new lounge, I'm not sure. I'm thinking less is definitely more. And haven't ruled out a Christmas tree decal http://www.amazon.com/Vinyl-Wall-Decal-Sticker-Christmas/dp/B002VRVQCQ not that one obviously but along those lines, removable of course xxx
