    Not a problem for men.

    We just look distinguished.





    Until we get grey pubic hair...... Then we just look old! :eek:

    May I offer you my seat Hamish? You might need it more than I do.

    Regular body temperature is 37 degrees

    Below 35 is hypothermic... It would be better to check your forehead or your armpit for a decent reading.

    Its also good to know your norm if you are going to start checking things and panicking.

    My norm is nearer 36. This flactuates very, very subtly hormonally. All within normal range, nothing a one off in a hospital emergency situation would worry about.


    How accurate are phone things for temp etc?

    I'm on about skin temperature, not under tongue temp.

    It's only 34 now .... well, until I got bored of waiting for it to increase.

    That's me confused!

    I really, really want a kebab. Been thinking about it all day as well.

    I'd eat a kebab, But none of that donner stuff, :eek:. Shish please.


    I can eat lamb, and pitta bread is white bread :p. ( I want salad too....)

    Today has been food free. Staying awake to get the Boss in the middle of the night is not that appealing :o). I know it will be worth it when he's on his way home but......in the mean time I'd eat something. Or have nap.

    I am not allowed a kebab as Doozer has just picked up DS and his friend and can't afford to feed kebab to two teenagers.

    I've been informed that we're having turkey and noodle stir fry. This is what happens when I refuse to cook and my car is comandeered. I might have to go and get a kebab and eat it in my car when they get back. A shop in town has a proper chargrill and cabbage a bit like you find in London. Sigh...

    Mmmmm.... Xmas hampers.

    Thank God for employers desperate to retain us and F&M. :)


    My employer does nothing. It would not be seen as acceptable although I think a large number of staff would like some gesture.

    F&M Mmmm. I love that shop.

    Usually buy my team biscuits from there, this year they have Muji candles.

    DH has loads of chums working the Counters and f and m. They all love him and save him stuff.

    His new best friend is a bailiff (please don't ask me to exapnd ATM). Who sent him the sweetest email today.


    People...well...most people, just cannot help liking my DH. I mean, I didn't mean to love him and look where I am. :rotfl:


    DH just gets his bonus.. In Italy there were client gifts, on secondment some client stuff...buit that wasn't great. We used to get a hamper from parent's employer, but then parent ( the director in charge of that sort of thing) cut down on it.

    I have had my kebab:)

    A large donner with chilli sauce from a van in a lay by about 8 miles away. The other two customers were on first name terms with the kebab man and were very polite to me.

    I brought it home and ate it with a knife and fork as all of the kebab content was on top of rather than in the pita. The chilli sauce had quite kick. Had to leave some as there was too much.

    As always, I now feel a bit queasy and wish I had not had it.:(
    You really do have to be careful what you wish for.
