    I am trying to remember if it has always been such a battle just to get people to do their jobs.  It is almost as if they spend longer trying not to do them than actually doing them.
    I had a (very minor) strop on the phone earlier today.  I still haven't received the cert for my solar & it is almost 8 months.  Greenbee got hers in I think it was 3 days.  I've got sick of asking so I will ring again on Thurday & if I haven't got it by Monday DS is going to help me put my feelings on any website they may have.  Poor DS had to have his shower early yesterday so that we weren't exporting free & today I did a load of washing that wasn't really full too.

    That was indeed a surprise.  Eating biscuits was definitely needed.
    I've given up biscuits for Lent but I would need biscuits after that sort of surprise.

    I think Lent could certainly make an exception for surprises of that nature @Blackcats

    There may be a pre-dinner glass of red wine occurring @Sun_Addict! I did not ask the question 'what can make a crampy period tummy cramp more' and did not require the answer!

    You made me spit leek soup on my laptop with your biscuit comment...

    Sounds like a very valid reason for wine to me.
