This is going to be SO hard - just made spag bol and put garlic olive oil on DH's pasta and chopped basil on mine - made him some lovely buttery garlic bread - but didn't have any myself. Arghhhhh!
Just keep reminding me about my pretty Monsoon Christmas tops...... PLEASE
THe interview was for a post as a community learning disability nurse. I'm doing my specailst practitioner degree at the moment and am out of job in August when it ends. Think it went ok, but don't know who I'm up against !! didn't think I'd get an interview so at least that's something, find out Thurs nite/friday morning
Went a little crazy at work today, someone made the most unbelievable gooey brownie things. They were so crazy good, oh well tonight I'm going to spinning. This is a ridiculous week I'm hoping to just not do too much damage.
I need to find that new caramel Baileys, every store here only has the nips, I'm planning to bring it to a party on Thursday night.
People I work with are starting to annoy me, I really need Christmas break.
Jen, I those flavoured bottles of Baileys. Last Christmas they trialled them in airports and I picked up a few *ahem* on my way through (they were also doing tastings - a good start to the day at about 7am after an overnight drive to Gatwick...) and I'm fairly sure they were all gone by the time I came home. A bottle of the creme caramel one has just found its way into my shopping and snuck into the house. I expect it will be mugging me soon Even better, they're also selling it in Spain this year so my mother has already stocked up ready for next week.
Sarah - MONSOON TOPS.
Had to be said
I'm getting so old and boring. Not only have I just been out to buy a vacuum cleaner (the glamour) with a money off voucher from Tesco that I could have spent on booze, I'm also driving into work tomorrow because it's the christmas party. I usually get the bus, but the one day when there will be free drinks I drive - so I can get from the work party to the running club party and then back home again. Two parties and no drinks. But my bottle of Baileys will be waiting when I get back home...
I'm currently trying to decide whether to run outside in the morning or try to do a longer run on the treadmill. At the moment I can only manage to do about half an hour on it (too boring), and I want a longer run than that.
Helen I agree with you on the treadmill. It's been so nice here I've been lucky to only have to jump on the treadmill once or twice but after 30 minutes I am so ridiculously bored. I'm trying to do hills and speedwork on it to pass the time.
How do you guys drink the caramel Baileys? I usually drink the regular with only ice, but I'm thinking some of my coffee drinking friends will drop some in there. Just wondering if I should bring anything else to mix it with on Thursday (provided I find it).
HM, Pink again hey... you'll be a groupie soon... good for you getting to see it free...hope it was as good as the last one.
It was awesome... I actually saw the show this time haha! I was at an awkward angle the first time!
Our work is charging us for the Christmas dinner their providing this year-£4.50 odd each. They can sod right off! Last year it was rancid... some sprouts you broke the fork trying to pick up, others went mush...carrots that tasted of soap-deep friend stuffing balls... RANK! And other random-should not be consumed type foods.
It was free last year! Good job too! None of us are going to have it this time though!
I went to London on the weekend to visit my friends newborn baby. I went into a new shop on Oxford St I think it was, it sells Choux bun things... Oh--My LIFE! I had 2... * *They were so very morrish! I'm going up again soon, I think I might just have to avoid Oxford street! There was probably as many syns in those 2 buns than I am allowed in a year!
FOG! There's FOG! I'm still at home... I want to work from home today since I have stuff that I can be doing... Whether I'll be allowed or not is another matter I've rung to tell them there's fog... I think they'll already know though since 2 other people live quite near me, however they are more hardcore and 1 drives, so not so bad if he runs into someone.... I'd just rather stay in the warm house!
It was really icy here, but I went out and did 4.3 miles outside because I can't run with running club tonight. It wasn't as far as I wanted to go but the slightly longer route doesn't have as good streetlights and I wanted to see the ice before I put my foot on it... Still more than I'd have done on the treadmill (and harder because of the hills) so I'm glad I didn't go for the easy option. I was actually really warm (I've got my winter running clothes sorted now so I stay at the right temperature), it was just the darkness and the slippiness I didn't like.
Must try to be restrained during the day today, as I have two christmas parties tonight
I have found that I can appear busy at home by e-mailing my bosses... However I've got the heating on full-blast and I might take a half hour coffee/nap break in a minute! It is Christmas!
- but didn't have any myself. Arghhhhh!
