    Everything overrunning this morning.


    One cleaner arrived upset as her early morning job had said she hadn't worked hard enough. To RP's credit they stepped up to the plate and sacrificed an almond croissant to the cause. I told her she'd have to eat it on the hop to prove she was working hard enough, then plonked her down with a coffee and a cat. She's going like a roadrunner now.

    I was also told I'd over paid by mistake last time ( sure I have not) and they asked me to under pay by a tenner this time. I went through my stuff and I really cannot see that I over paid.

    So, so proud of you Gen.


    The period of doubt over you might find other worries subside. Still feel all advice at the time is worth taking. Said with love, of the sternest sort.

    Thanks LIR. I love it when you get stern.

    Good bye 2014 :mad: Hello 2015 :beer:

    Yup. 2014 can kiss my Arsenal. 2015 is going to be a great year even if it doesn't want to be.

    Brilliant news Gen :beer::j

    Good luck Sue - may the outcome of your interview be the right one for you :)

    Get well soonest michaels and zag.

    I have a dental appointment this afternoon and am worried I'll forget all about it. I think I'd better stick a post-it note on the inside of the front door to remind me :o:D They do send you an automated text message a couple of days beforehand, but that's no good for me, I'm quite likely to have forgotten again by the time the day arrives.

    DS gave me a Toblerone last night. He said he saw it and thought of me :)

    There is either about to be a small breakthrough or a breakdown in relationship with some of in laws. I'm hoping for the first, most fervently, but braced for the latter. Because I like to be well braced and not be too disappointed.

    Too right it is :D

    Interested in DS's thinking. Do you wear Madonna's cast off bras from the 90s?

    That's as good as borrowed toddler calling me Booby in his literal assessment of what made impression on him. :rotfl:


    Er....how many do you you have though?

    Toblerone is a chocolate I like thinking about it. :). Oh well.

    I had a sicky stomach last night. And have had two last weekends in a row. I don't have time for that business so I'm probably going to try existing on water crackers or something.

    If I need to get through I have plain crisps and cheap lemonade: sugar, salt and liquid being the minimum required to keep body and soul together.

    Yes. Salts. Hmm, need that.


    This sugar thing is a big problem. Its the only thing I'm consistantly non reactive too digestively/reactivity etc but hormonally it will send me haywire.

    Last night I had last night I had grilled chicken with a bit of za'artar ( a thigh) and a very small amount of salad, cucumber, lettuce, tomato, carrot, tiny bit of red cabbage no dressing. I want to be able to eat this sort of very basic meal. Its not unhealthy or ott. I didn't hVe the preserved lemons I wanted.

    Thing is, I'm worried its this sort of crud that might get in the way of my schedule if they say 'you're not healthy enough' ATM.

    Edit : of course, I could literally be worrying myself sick after one incidence of normal illness, so will also be endeavouring not to think about it too much. I really would find it easier just to give up eating for a while I think, but that screws up the hormones too.
