    I used to enjoy interviewing, but it's really tiring. I think it's because of the full-on concentration required to remain focused so as to give each candidate a fair shot.
    Well done on your award.

  • Oh well done on the award SA - how typical that the ceremony you couldn't go to was the one you won at though! 

    Hope the interviewing goes well and MrSA behaves himself!

    Late to the party @Sun_Addict but huge congratulations! Love Humdinger xx 
  • Oh no, hope you are ok.  When that happened to my MIL, FIL took photos and tried to get compensation by saying it was an accident that wasn't her fault....of course they never got anything.   When I fell and broke my wrist last year,  I also had a backpack on and it made me fall backwards as I slipped.  You are lucky nothing is broken.  Have a good soak in the bath and a rest.  I hate this time of year when the leaves are all wet and slippy.

    Oh no, it really does shake you up, doesn't it? I did the same a couple of years ago. You get to a certain angle after the trip & realise the only outcome is hitting the concrete. It's embarrassing too. I think that hot bath will be a very good thing as you may well have sore muscles & bruising tomorrow. I know I did, & I've got loads more padding than you.
    Take care,
