Sirona gave me a voucher to try out Graze boxes and the free sample arrived yesterday while I was at work. It looks very impressive. For anyone who doesn’t know about graze boxes, they’re boxes of little packs of healthy snacks. You choose all the different things you like, and each week they send you a box. I’m probably more excited by mine than anyone really should be about boxes of seeds and nuts but still. Continue reading
We had to go to town this morning to get a new tv/DVD combo for the gym because the DVD in the old one died, probably because I overworked it! Most day I use it at some point for exercise DVDs and have been since we got the tv. As the tv part still works CJ is clearing the rubbish dump that is his room so that he can have it. We then have to take the old tv from his room (which is the size of a fridge freezer and weighs about the same as a car) to the dump. Continue reading
I love Fridays! Went out for a gossip with the girls after work yesterday which was nice. We popped in to Jo Daflos which was one of my old haunts when I worked at Dream Factory. It felt a bit odd to be there without all the old faces and a bit sad as it is next door to the old office which is now closed. Continue reading
This morning I was stuck outside while Commando jet washed the decking so I made the most of it by gardening. On the veg patch little baby tomatoes were forming, radishes coming up and the first cabbages and cauliflower were ready to cut. I also cut some corriander seeds to dry and picked a load more peas. The slugs have managed to use overhanging leaves to jump over the copper tape and get in amongst the veg so there was a chopping back and slug picking session. I know I could use slug pellets but I don’t like killing things, even slugs. It may sound silly but my Buddhist persuasion will not let me do it. I picked them all off and put them elsewhere in the garden where they can’t do so much damage. I have a sneaking suspicion they will find their way back. I swear I have homing slugs. Continue reading
Well yesterday was pretty dire at work. I had a day of horrible calls. Problems I couldn’t solve and couldn’t find out how to solve, difficult customers and generally horrible calls. I had two really bad debt calls where customers basically refused every possible option offered and kicked off big time. Some people pay nothing for over a year and then think if they shout enough we will let them off. I also had a customer who called me. C**t, I didn’t even put the phone down on him straight away but he really did upset me and I ended up crying after I finally did hang up. Luckily my boss was sitting right behind me at the time and was very supportive. I almost walked out and went home. I do sometimes wonder how I manage to keep going back for more. I did stay away from the chocolate bars in the canteen though! Continue reading
When I went into the gym to do some pump it up before the walk to work Commando’s new bike was in the way. Before I could exercise I had to move it. He has a whole gym and he put it upside down in front of the mirrors where I exercise. Men! Continue reading
