Does Hills know that you have invited me into your boudoir?

Probably

The decor does rather clash with your Russian Pink socks though, doesn't it?

So.....having had BT make a mess of our home move, I've discovered that British Gas have cocked up as well. Some operative recorded our house number as 4 instead of 43. So the booked engineer can't come and all my details have been sent to a complete stranger.

Is it too early to have a glass of absinthe?

No!

Never too early.

Defintely not - bottoms up.

I used to work for the same company as the lady two doors down the road. The company in question often sent HR docs to her, when they were intended for me, and vice versa.

Admittedly the names are similar in some ways. In my day at an office, you would have put a red star on the two files or records, highlighting the possibility of that error. That would be in the days when common sensicleness over-ruled the demands of a computer programme.

However, that pales into insignificance against the local hospital who got my records and those of someone with the same name muddled up. The consquences of that have had a lasting impact on my health. They claim they "lost" my records, while I tried to tell them to look in the "file" of the other person with my name.

On a lighter note, I have found someone who does personal training, and who lives withing walking distance of my house. The idea is that she properly trains you to use a rowing machine or other equipment (in her own gym at the end of her garden) and then you use the ones at leisure centre. There is an mandatory induction session
at the local leisure centre, but that covers all the machines, some of which I am unlikely to use. The bombardment of information in that hour of induction, causes my brain to go into over-load, and I forget everything. Her additional more detailed training would be very useful for correct technique. She could also teach me some exercises to do at home, and give motivation on exercise and nutrition.

Yes, this post does have a point, and yes, bare with me, I am getting there. What questions to I need to ask her, and/or what Usery Body should she belong to, so that I know she is properly qualified?

Btw, Rocky, did you know that you can do Bootcamp in Oxford?

That is a bit of nostalgia. They used to shut in the old days in order to get stock from the Fish Market in London.

The one on the Market Place in town is always shut on a Monday - it's one of those really traditional places that *only* does standard chippy fare (fish, chips, saussies, saveloys & pies). The place in the village is new (also does kebabs and, I think, pizza) so am still not quite pat with their opening hours.

It does look like the set of a 70s porn movie doesn't it?

That's exactly what I was thinking, but didn't have the guts to post LOLOLOL

Henry is not feeling the love today. He is rather subdued, not eating his breakfast and not purring or talking which is unheard of.

Perhaps it's just one of those days.

Oh noes, poor Henry. The girls send him some healing purrs xxx

I did flea him yesterday so it could be him sulking but I have never not got any purrs out of him.

No wonder he's got the arse with you, mine (apart from Kizzy ) ignore me for days after being done.

In other news, I have just joined MyFitnessPal.

Jeez! Just left the factory, it's 1830 and it's already -20.
Time for burgers and beer...and maybe Vodka.

Congratulations.

Are you a lost cause
