    Just a short post because I have a raging headache - caffiene withdrawal.

    Tracy - I'm really glad that you had a good day xx

    Saw the counsellor this morning so have made my mind up. I'm not going back to my job. I've now got a choice to make. Either I go self employed or I ask for medical redeployment. So I need to have a think and talk further with HR/Occupational Health. She also made me realise that I am drinking far too much tea and coffee. I'm blaming you lot for that :p So I'm cutting back to one cup a day, hence the headache.

    Oh and I lost a pound today, so thats 5lbs in 2 weeks. Really chuffed about that. Jill, I think I would like to lose a stone by the beginning of May when I go on holiday, another 6 WIs. That 5lbs is included in the stone target ;)

    Bedtime I think. I'm feeling a bit cold and shivery. A good nights sleep should sort me out. Night night xx

    still under the weather here so only managed the "open windows" bit today.... hopefully normal service will resume soon - I hate having a cold. Ears are blocked up though so can't hear DS when he's being a pain so not all bad....

    Have just watched "The Curse of Steptoe" on BBC4. It really took me back in strange ways. Not just for the nostalgia of having watched the series all those years ago but because my Grandad was a quite high up officer in a prison and, quite a while after he died, my Granny told me about how Wilfred Brambell was one of his "guests" for a bit (another high profile guest of my Grandad's was James Hanratty) because of his homosexuality.

    I can see how officer's son Harry H Corbett positively detested the lifestyle of his acting partner and I think it's all just so sad...
