Mundane thread

GFB  If you need to defer you send them a e-mail I believe and then wait for instruction. I don't think you need to provide a doctor's note or anything but might be wrong.

Aw, GFB That's rubbish. Take care of yourself though. There will be other marathons, but there's only one you ((((hugs)))) 

Someone at work commented today that "this must be so easy for you". I've decided to interpret this as I make the job look easy *sticks fingers in ears and refuses to listen to alternatives*  

hello mundanies *waves*

Poor GFB, I deferred the other year but even now can't remember what the process was, that's rubbish. I do know that I needed my running number when it came to the following years entry and I couldn't find it. However, as I'm not going to be marathon ready for April I decided to just let it go.

Recycling bins collected today, black bin for next week is already looking rather packed.

It doesn't need to snow for there to be a thick coverring of white out there. It's blimmin freezin. ...and I'm going to work today. must remember to take my cold pills.

Hope everyone has a good day and that all those little niggles iron themselves out.

(((gfb)))

Good morning Mundanies, I have had enough of the snow and ice now, feel free to come and collect it if you want it.

In recent Mundany news, one inner from a shoe was warmer than its counterpart on Sunday, that's mostly because it was in my dog! 

((gfb)) Hopefully you'll get some good news from the doc and you won't have to defer at all. 

I haven't seen any snow yet and it's not even icy. Although whilst washing up this morning I did see some white bits falling out of the sky. Not sure what they were but they're not falling anymore. 

Morning all - I actually don't feel unwell (however I did think my head was gonna blow off my shoulders on Friday night - BP was 186/120  then) I'm feeling ok now.

(Hopefully won't have to defer but it's not the end of the world if I do as I am determined to do the City of Culture marathon here on the 6th of June...oh yeah!!)

No snow here - remember I decided we weren't having any...*nods head* - it's just damp.

I'm burning a new Yankee candle...mango peach salsa...it's lovely

That's high GFB! You're having tests, aren't you? (((hugs)))

I am in so much pain. My right flank is very, very ouchy 

Oh poor you Bookie!  Do you know what's wrong?

(We're making our own Kefir at the minute...have you heard of that?) 

Bookie you where in pain at one point last week as well. Do you think you need to see a doctor?

Just popping in for a lunchtime lurk, it looks as if hug-dispensing is in order.

(((Bookie)))  (((Mr P))) (((us lot generally)))

Bookie did it just spontaneously start or did you pull something?

I'm not sure what's wrong, I think maybe a kidney infection. I've had them before It was quite sore when I woke up, then got progressively worse. I've had magic pills though, so it's a bit better at the moment. I start work in two hours...

I've heard of Kefir, but never had it. Is it nice? I'm guessing yes if you're making it

*waves to Hash*

(((Bookie))) *offers best jar of medicinal Marmite*

((Bookie)) Hope you feel better soon.

Hello Hash 

I am still finding pine needles in the house.

I've found that I had to really force myself to taste the kefir at first (it's full fat milk with a culture that stays at room temperature for 48 hours for the first brew (you can refrigerate after that) and 24 hours per brew after that...but it is really, really nice...like a mild, but tangy pouring yogurt...I've been making smoothies with it.

We bought a mattress...hooray for sales!!  A king size King Koil for a steal!!

Afternoon/evening 

(((Mr P)))

(((GFB)))

(((Bookie))) Doctors, young lady *best Paddington stare*...*again*

Bookie, I've obviously missed something very important here.....are you working full time now and not at uni?

She is chuckles and much better for it I'm thinking.
