Pdoc: I get the awful feeling that sleeping INSIDE a running washing machine would be quieter than where you've been with regards to sleep. Make sure you take a few days or even weeks to ensure that you ARE OKAY.
Else I'm setting Dove on you! And she's retired so she knows how to get stuff done.
Lesley: I'm making an emergency trip to Morrisons tonight to get the dog meat (oh... and our food of course but mainly the dog meat!! ) Unfortunately the butcher closes half an hour before I get home and I wasn't awake early enough to have been in any fit state to get there when they opened (07:30). Today is definitely a many cup of tea day.
Hosta and Steve: I think I found it!! Seriously well done the both of you. How are you managing it? I weighed myself on Friday. BAD mistake. I've been trying to loose weight for two years now and have managed... to stay exactly the same. Doh! I think my issues have made my body adjust so well that now it can absorb every little inch of nutrient and calorie and store it as jiggly bits that I could survive on cups of tea, rice, and still be padded enough to survive a bad winter.
Well today is getting interesting and its not even lunch time (which is, coincidently still on the kitchen table: DOH). My education team is once again education me and my shadow. It would have been nice if the chap had spoken, text, emailed, sent smoke signals to let me know that he'd handed his notice in rather than just not turning up leaving me to have to fudge my way through but hey ho. I guess politeness never was a strong point. I will be keeping an eye out for his job advert though: it might be the push in the right direction I need as well as a massive side step towards ensuring my health is actually considered.
Well, I've been in and out like a yo-yo with the washing - have given up trying to catch the sunny bits and the towels and tea towels are draped on a rack in front of the studio window.
I've also baked a batch of Suffolk Rusks and there's a pan of home-made vegetable soup (carrots, onions, leeks, celery, potato and parsley in some Marigold vegetable stock) simmering on the hob for my lunch .... it's nearly ready
Clari - you mean even if he didn't tell you, no one else did either????????????????
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Not sure how fast ours is, but it's Virgin Cable and pretty good
Supper of beef shin casserole in the oven - OH has put in a request for parsley dumplings so I've been out into the weather and picked a big handful of parsley.
The kitchen's all clean and tidy again and now I really am going to sit down and get the knitting out ...

Well done on the weight loss chaps. Impressive and must make you feel so much better.
Clari - seems incompetence is the name of the game for your colleagues. Apply to become boss?
I have had an interesting pm - bank to collect cheques and cards and update insurance to include garden contents, water and sewage pipes and freezer contents. The latter are not insured in case of a strike by EDF. Makes you wonder if they have a bad habit at ED. Thence to the PO where I was told I may not post a cylindrical object so my carefully made and labelled parcel of posters for Charlie has been transferred to another square one that used to hold PO posters. Such lovely, helpful people.
Now to cope with a paddy from OH when I tell him I can't cope with the round table in the kitchen - wobbly leg and a bit small so two accidents during recent visit, one me and one her - and want to swap it for my proper, stable, oblong oak refectory table which is currently lurking in the unfinished room in the annex. Plus which, haven't seen a round tablecloth I like!
Still dry here. Hot and sunny expected tomorrow and Saturday but maybe some rain on Monday. Good. Lots of washing to dry.

On a lighter note chaps and chapesses:
I HAVE NOW LOST FOUR STONES.
Darn it, I am only at just under two and a half!
Hosta - there'll be hardly anything left of you to ((hug))!!!

Hosta, well done with the router thingy. Hubby said we are now on 26 or something since we got broad band. Makes such a difference with downloading.

Dove...what are Suffolk rusks?
Sunny and warm here so some weeding and cutting back done in front garden.
Clari. . . it appears that communication is not a strong point with your employers
Hope you get Reggie's meat.
Hosta and Steve...well done on the weight loss.....I'm jealous.
