Me

Life's hectic - as might be noticed from my "missingness". 

Work was dodgy there for a while - new processes and procedures (phrase of the moment). But now ideas abound, if only they are actioned! Other than that it's a struggle to stay awake what with all the repetitive copy and paste work. Things are still iffy as the big phrases banded around from on high are "cost cutting" "pay freezes" and "money saving" - we now have to prove our worth! 

The other half still spends more time on the "super information highway" than is good... hence another reason I ain't here much. It seems I have to account for everything I do online in the brief hour a week I get whereas other half is addicted to Farmville but very rarely gets to go on at all- except first thing in the morning, when I ring at lunch, when I come home from work, after dinner and before I go to bed I hear the sheep bleat, cows moo, ring of money in the cafe etc.

We have been struck by colds, bugs and now the little one has chickenpox. Poor little mite - the nurse told us it was nothing to worry about and gave C the MMR jab so now we have to look out for the symptoms of "a mild case of measles"! I'm furious at this as I've never seen chicken pox but knew the instant I came home and changed C for bed time. The nurse should've at least said to wait and see what develops before jabbing C in each arm. At least (touch wood) she's not been scratching or moping around. In fact apart from the spots C is very much a handful - demanding, climbing and addicted to Iggle piggle.
