  • Hell MAR under the circumstances and the prospect of having the only medication that made any difference to how you felt I defy anyone to stay cool calm and collected! I'm just relieved that you didn't actually have to come face to face with the consultant and that you now have a 'real' accurate diagnosis which is the very best place to start fixing the problem, hopefully pretty speedily too!

    When you say pods do you mean the ones that go into a machine or do you mean the ones you perch on top of a cup and fill with boiling water to filter through? We've got a Nespresso machine which is brilliant and we only buy pods from the company online as we've tried the cheaper ones in the supermarkets and they are nowhere near as good. I know someone who has a Tassimo machine and they like the pods for that but not the look alikes. The little drip filters that sit on top of cups make very nice coffee, we take them when we stay in hotels where we have a kettle in the room, much nicer than instant and usually not too expensive.
  • So far most of my stuff has been purchased by women, mind you I do write a brief backstory to the items and I'm sure this helps them sell.
    Something along the lines of:-
    Imagine how you will feel stalking across the floor in these incredible boots, with the gloves encasing your arms and the flogger flicking gently against your boots.
    Chin up, Titus out.

    Wow Hester. Them's lyrical words.
    The sheer beauty of of your literary phraseology moves me to awe and wonder.

    You are a loss to the advertising world.

    Well I was going to sedately comment that today I gleefully handed back my NHS badges, cleared my personal documents & emails, and walked away from what started as a lovely job, but ended up as a drain :j:j

    But I feel that Hester has the floor...in thigh boots & marabou-trimmed gloves :D:p

    WCS, it's the gloves that are feather trimmed, and a right bloody nuisance the feathers are too, they fall off, float around and make me sneeze if they get near my nose.
    The flogger is a bundle of soft suede strips fastened to a handle that is covered in purple leather.
    HTH, Hester

  • Mmm, now that's a thought, feather trimmed boots!!
