Hi hun, glad I provide you with entertainment lol!! Well there's method to my madness when I say subject to change!! I have to take all my food for the day with me to work and don't always get the breaks I should, so some things aren't eaten, some things are eaten in a different order and sometimes (like today!) some things are eaten that shouldn't be eaten:break_diet:

Hope you've had a good day!!X

That won't be easy on what the NHS pays you fantastic nurses!
However, I know a great ENGLISH doctors surgery near us who would probably welcome a fully qualified nurse!
PS I decided at 35 that I needed to retire! And spent the next 15 years planning how to escape!

Morning Hev

enjoy your Saturday hun

 

[Pommette]

Good heavens chica, how on earth do you cope with those shifts?

Actually felt a lot better today after an 8 hour kip (apart from the obligatory loo wake) - could have something to with the large brandies last night before I went to bed! :8855:

Off to bed soon as I'm still very tired and still feel a bit washed out.

Aach, like anything, it's not so bad when you're in the swing of it! Sometimes I actually get a twisted kind of kick out of working lots! And it's good for confidence levels!X Glad you're resting and hope you feel better by the end of the weekend! Sometimes a large brandy is just the ticket!! I think one small sip and I'd be unconscious lol!!X
