I can't think past saying goodbye to my sons, we seem to have gone about ot all arse for elbow, but in my lucid moments, I think it will all come together at some point in the near future, and at that point it will all have been worth it. If I could send you karma I would, but I am a lowly peasant with postings of pea proportions to your Cheops Pyramid, so I can't!

Tractor is being evicted when we move so no option as hubby cant be parted, sentimental value! It's not that big though.

Hi Karen,
advice taken, beer chugged, feeling calmer (and karma - thanks for the thought). I should also follow your lead and get my own name / profile to make life easier! When do you finish work and has Steve finished now?

I am now on night shift and finish with 2 day shifts on 7th Sept. I had just about the worst shift ever on Saturday night - patient cutting up, escalation ect, adrenaline overload, me and 2 HCA's to cover ward. But I will still miss it.

Twas slightly over - too much Fairy Dust?
I'll check with OH when he gets in from the pub as his field is more in the blood taking line but I'm sure it is a test for aneamia (mean corpular volume) so wouldn't worry too much. I'll check with Danny and get back to you,
Donna
ps fancy hijacking your thread back.....

A friend of mine thought we had bodies in beds awaiting autopsies and couldn't understand why we have to be taught Control and Restraint!

Hope I get extra points in my new job! If at all wishing to stop, read Allen Carr's "easyway to stop smoking" Brilliant
When went on hols to NZ I gave up for 4 days and then only smoked a maximum of 2 in any given day! Have told hubby we are both stoping the minute we board the plane next time - hate it, but ho hum, I'm here for a good time, not a long time!
Do did Danny get an evening pass for good husbandry behavious coz he took you to Rome? I got taken to Solihull - so much more cosmopolitan ... Albanians; Poles, Slovaks etc, etc!

Danny got an evening pass bacause I've been on my own with him since Thursday night and a woman can only take so much....I need to catch up on the soaps anyway. Plus I've just bought an extremely expensive dress for my brothers wedding on Sunday and need some Brownie points to store up for when the bank statement arrives.
Donna
wish we'd known about Solihull before we booked Rome!

How was Rome, did you miss the monsoon we had, or did it get there as well?
Am Loolah, I still smoke, I still drink, so I'm with you. Good time not necessarily long time! Anyway, what's the point in being able to say 'I'm 101 years old, but god I'm bored!'
BTW, cooking was a disaster, omlette now propping door open! (nil pointe). Also deep disgrace for the wafting duvet comment I made somewhere else!
