Things I have done today instead of working....

[Bellenden Belle]

Oooooh, I just have no discipline. None at all.

I have surfed the EDF boards; organised tix for Daniel Kitson on Sunday (hoorah!); made a lovely smoked mackerel pasta salad( I always turn to food!); and now I think I must MUST start work.

[Known]

Food is always a distraction! I've just made more Hummus than I could possibly eat. And tucked away 6 penguin bars with acup of coffee.... I don't understand How I'm not a big ol chubster! :)-D

[KalamityKel]

I've been dealing with soaking wet books & files, mould and smelly washing up liquid. Oh and I almost forgot... turning the office into a sauna with several heating devices in an attempt to dry important documents out :-|

Worked from home today - :-$

A few emails and phone calls throughout the day to give the impression of working. Went to B&Q for bigger pots(the balcony veg patch is thriving) and Asda (cos its next door to B&Q). Talked to the runner beans, herbs, toms and the broad beans, read the last rights to the bay bush.

Forumed ......

well it's half past ten and I'm still in the office, so actually not "instead of working", but "as well as" - I HAVE RESIGNED (er, with no job to go to)

am so thrilled that I'm not going to be working 70 hour weeks anymore, that I just had to stay back and finish a presentation...

[Known]

Is that a hallucination caused by working so late?

Well done either way!

[RosieH]

brilliantly not - I've only gone and done it.

f*ck knows what I'm going to do now (apart from go home that is) but i've got 3 months to work it out. if anyone knows of any jobs going...

[Bellenden Belle]

Congratulations RosieH - celebrate! Don't regret a thing! I handed in my notice without a job three months ago - and left my husband three weeks later! And I survived!

Good luck with the job hunting!

[KalamityKel]

I've been filling out other ppls job applications... darn I'm good at it I tell ya! mayb I should start up a business of me own... hmmmm

[Asset]

do you do it in txt spk?

[KalamityKel]

There's another way? ::o

[dulwichmum]

Lay in bed whining for most of the day - I am so very unwell (sigh).

[Guest]

Whassup, D-Mo?

Today have travelled westwards for a colonic and cranio sacral massage and am now practising relating to youth.

[dulwichmum]

Oh Mrs B,

I am so very unwell, I have been confined to my budoir all week (sigh). I have missed Ascot and my hat is sitting on my dressing table (sob). Tell me, I need to know, is a colonic worth the ...er, indignity?

I hear a girl can shed almost 8 pounds during one treatment, I hate to think of putrifying matter clinging to my insides. I would love to have it washed away. I am such a modest lady though, I don't think that I could remain composed enough to allow the procedure to be conducted. I have never ever removed my underwear for a stranger in my entire life (my munchkins were born by caesarean section).

On the one hand, I have read that a colonic can improve ones ability to absorb vitamins and give a girl a clear skin and sparkly eyes, but what if the presence of the "colonic sludge" actually inhibits calorie absorbtion? Knowing my luck, I would gain an increased ability to absorb calories and end up the size of a small family car.

[Guest]

Sounds like some downstairs housekeeping could be just what you need to restore your girlish bloom and a flat stomach. It depends, to put it delicately, on quite how full of it you are, but it certainly gives you clear skin, though you may have to put up with a slight headache and tiredness immediately afterwards and a reduced ability to metabolise Chablis.

[dulwichmum]

Darling Ms B,

Do you mean that I will get drunk quicker? Where do you suggest I go to try out this new wonder treatment?

[PeckhamRose]

I moved the living room furniture around.

Instead of doing my tax return I have been meaning to do since it hit the doormat in April.

Today had been a perfect day to do both.

Colonic irrigation. Mmmm. Think I'd rather do a tax return.

What's the number?

[Guest]

I go to the lovely Common Sense in Clapham, which to judge from past posts goes against the grain for many ED residents. If you prefer local and don't mind a man interfering with your lower person without even buying you a drink first I understand Mike Harmon provides a service from home in Nunhead.

[dulwichmum]

Oh Ms B,

I couldn't bear to er... bear my personage to any gentleman unless I was wearing his wedding ring (gasp).

I shall arrange an appointment in Clapham forthwith.

Many thanks,

DM

[Michael Palaeologus]

So, if I am reading this correctly DM - If you are wearing your wedding ring you will bear your personage to any Gentleman?

I think we knew that, but I was just checking.
