Where are you off to?

Sharm el sheikh. Booked hotel as dates I want have dissappeared from other sites. Will have a bash at getting the discount retrospectivally but doubt it very much. Did manage £10 off but not quite the same.
I do not need to do anyshopping before I go either food or clothing but if I spot a nice bikini in canterbury I might indulge.
Not a super cheap break but very mse on flights as dd got staff travel for me so can take a case and not have to pay for it.

All this rain my RA could really do with some dry heat.

Weighing in on the 'what names are short for' thing, my gran was known as Peggy when her name was Margaret! Quite how that works I don't know, as a child I thought all Grans were automatically called Peggy!

Not wanting to argue but I have seen the sandwich kids just having chocolate in their sandwich box / bag .

Also some parents don't check when they make sandwich that the bread or filling is fresh. I have seen green mouldy bread and the filling not going there :eek:. When this happens the kitchens I have been in have given the pupil a school dinner.

Hot pudding is twice a week, jelly once, ice cream once, also they get cake or biscuits. Little pots filled with fresh fruit daily or can have an apple , banana or orange this is school I work in kitchen.

Salad bar is on daily ,thats my first job making the salad

Now Kids pegs and their coats bags etc :mad: when I cleaned in the school I used to get annoyed everyday when I saw all the cloakrooms . Coats shoes bags on the floor I used to hang them up and booger me same ones would be on the floor day after. I did wonder why they didn't take them home. When long hols came all clothes bags shoes went into black bags most had been there since September year before. Money found anywhere in the school was handed in with place it was found.

I still wonder why kids sat under the tables to sharpen their pencils/crayons. Cleaner in a school is not a job I would recommend to anyone.

I know you quoted coupon queen but that was actually my text lol!

God that sounds bad, to me it seem mad that someone would send a child to school not checking that the food was up to scratch! :eek:

It seems like maybe my free living Ikea Christmas tree wasn’t so much of a bargain after all...Turns out it really was living! I went to turn the lights on it earlier and noticed little specs hanging off the branches.......turns out a whole load of miniscule spider had hatched!! :eek:Manic, panic, loads of spraying everything chucked outside, more spraying, hoovering and now feeling very queasy

BEST argument for a fake tree I have EVER heard! I have never had a real tree in my whole life, including my childhood and I don't intend to start, to me fake is great! (Only trees though lol!)

All this talk about names and what they are short for, reminds of the favourite joke of Morrisey (yes, that Morrisey).

A woman is telling her new boyfriend about her family.
"It's a tradition in our family," she tells him, "that we're all named after plants - that's why I'm called Lily. So, there's my older sister Daisy, my younger sister Poppy, my mother Rose, and my father Bob."
"But I thought you said you were all named after plants ... so what about your dad?"
"Oh, well, Bob is short for Rhubob."

I know what you mean about dodgy sleep patterns :mad: was hoping the alcohol would help me into the land of nod but no luck yet.

Glad your numbers are better today. Is there nothing your gp can do to help with a new machine?

Try drinking a tonne of water, normally works for me!

Nope, I am a Type 2 so I think I was lucky to get one at all when I was diagnosed 3 years back, I reckon I only got one because I asked if I could self-test!

I don't agree that T2s shouldn't have them as you need to work out what foods do and don't spike your blood sugar, and it's different for everyone. I can eat lots of choc and my numbers stay normal but overload on carbs and they shoot up, I wouldn't know that without testing! Of course now I am trying to keep everything in moderation, but self-testing is a good way of keeping yourself in check, so I don't see why they reckon non-insulin dependents don't need them as they 'go by your hBa1c' (which takes the average level present in your blood in the last 3 months), but that seems nonsensical, surely keeping a personal eye on your sugars lowers your hBa1c?! It's certainly the case for me, I took some new tablets and my numbers shot up, it was another 2 months until my next test and by then it could have done me serious damage :eek:

Obviously I realise they're not life-and-death like they are for ones on insulin but still.....

Sorry for boring you all

just wondering where you were. how did the big party go on the 31st.

Hi Zippy party was a success despite me stressing all day, everybody ate and drank to much as should be. Lots of dancing and ridiculous behaviour so all in all a great party. Thank you for asking

I've heard Harry shortened to Henry
John is shortened to Jack.

In Scotland Hugh is shortened to Shug.

Charles is Chas in London but Chic in Scotland (and Chuck in the US)

Peggy was the name of NASA's most experienced astronaut (over a year in space and six space walks). A very 21st century space travel name!:beer:

Carp, I think my clubcard account has been hacked too, a tonne of my vouchers were 'boosted' in August, when I haven't used any since November 2012! :mad:

Going to call them tomorrow and work out what's gone on!

EDIT: They're closed tomorrow, will have to be Monday. £87.50 missing!

I've been converting them into Avios as soon as I can. Except this last year wher I got behind. I managed to convert a whole load of them on what turned out to be the very last day possible before they would be lost! .:dance:
