Agh! This is SM’s fault! Not entirely sure I agree – I think, based on the questions and how I answered them, the greed must come from wanting to work to achieve what I desire. I do have a fair amount of pride I think – but if I know I am wrong, I am [...]

The last week or so has pretty mundane and work/chore orientated. We’re both feeling a bit wiped out, having had so much going on this year and for my part, I’m not looking forward to the next 3 weeks, which is depressing me somewhat. Lee will be on holiday so I will be covering at [...]

On Sunday, it was Raji’s birthday so at 11am Billy and I went next door to his flat and took him a cup of tea, a bacon sandwich, and his presents & cards. It took us a while to get him to answer the door, as he’d been in the shower (yes, he was decently [...]

As those who follow me on Twitter will know – it’s been an intense week working at the hospital and I am very stressed. The workload has been ridiculous again, but I’ve also been wasting so much time sorting out others’ messes that I’m really resentful. One consultant messed a patient about today, undoing hours [...]

In between other jobs and activities, I used Friday and Saturday to give my bedroom a good clean. It’s actually the public bedroom – everyone comes in to use the computer, use the printer, pinch the phone, dump unwanted items, use the hairdryer, use the mirror, sit and have a natter, or stretch out on [...]

This is entirely geepeemum’s fault as I decided to give it a whirl over my morning coffee. Be warned, the site wants your details for spamming sending you wonderful offers, so if you do the test, give fictional personal details, and say no to all the “offers” at the end, if you don’t want to [...]
