Susie and Orbit's daily dribble

[Lisa-Ann]

Hi Susie, just subscribing to your diary - wow it's huge will take me ages to read through, gonna take it a few pages at a time. What do you do for a living, sounds like your a journalist I specialised in journalism up until leaving Uni 12 years ago but then after failing to get a dismally paid job for a construction magazine in Manchester because I wasn't a man I didn't pursue my career on this path any further. Think I'll write a book instead lol Lisa-Ann xx

Hi Lisa-Ann - LOL yes I've been here forever - and I can post for England I do PR for a conservatoire, really love it.

Morning all

Another busy day, but it's great to have the teaching staff and students back, liven the place up!

B - bacon and eggs mmm, soya latte
L - chicken salad - my fav with mandarin oil and mayo dressing
D - roast turkey and cabbage (which I didn't have last night)

Enjoy the tropical weather brrrr

Morning lovely. It's flipping cold here but last nights beef casserole made up for it

Which soya cream do you use in your lattes Susie? I can only find the alpro single cream and it's more carbs than normal double cream so no point getting it - do they do a double cream version anywhere?

 

[ladyfelsham]

Our work cafe uses unsweetened Alpro soya milk, hun, 0.2g carbs, so my soya latte is made with that.

I use a dribble of Alpro cream in my evening coffees, but I only have them 2-3 times a week

 

[sadieley]

I read somewhere that the reason cheese and cream is limited is because of the lactose sugers in dairy .... I use alpro soya single cream every day (at least x2), and I am still losing. X

Thanks I will look for some when I am in tesco's x

 

[Lisa-Ann]

Lol I've just had to look up the meaning of conservatoire, and now I know it's a schoolhouse with special facilities for the arts, sounds fab and very interesting. Well, I'm over a fifth of the way through your diary and it's a good read and really funny in parts a bit like getting to know a diary character like Bridget Jones - will keep going a few pages at a time Lisa-Ann xx

 

[roosnanny]

morning sweetie.

 

[ladyfelsham]

Morning all

VERY stressed this morning. Psychotic work 'colleague' is proving to be a nightmare today, and my stomach is in knots worrying about it.

LOL Lisa-Ann - our "schoolhouse" is actually 1000 students in the UK's biggest conservatoire And you're a braver woman than me in reading my diary, even I get bored after a few pages!

Will catch up with diaries later xx

 

[meg38]

Hope work issues resolved x

 

[ladyfelsham]

Thanks Meg! Happily I dug deep and found some diplomacy in me (against my fighting nature haha) - so the three potentially explosive issues have now been resolved

Also inching closer to exchange on the new house...cross fingers!

 

[meg38]

It's so so exciting!!!! The practical side of me says the kitchen in my soon be house is fine!! But my heart finds myself looking online at new kitchens!! X have you got plans for any changes in the new place susie?? X

 

[Kat1e]

Hi susie, just catching up on the bus!

So excited for you - everything crossed - which might make tonights class a bit tricky lol

It will happen - and im already planning the party!
Xxx

 

[Jonsgirl80]

Ahhh Susie, reading things like this make me glad i work from home - I no longer have to deal with psycho colleagues - thankfully! I've had my fair share in the past and it just makes everything so stressful - not least because I'm not very diplomatic and end up saying exactly what I think ( and usually getting myself into trouble in the process :-(! )

That's very exciting about the new house, bet you can't wait xx

 

[ladyfelsham]

have you got plans for any changes in the new place susie?? X

YEAH BABY LOL yes, new kitchen (with a wall knocked down to expand it into the defunct dining room) and bathroom, painted white throughout but some fab wallpaper in the bedrooms, it's gonna look like...home How are your plans going?

So excited for you - everything crossed - which might make tonights class a bit tricky lol...im already planning the party!Xxx

LOL Katie thanks that post really made me smile when I needed it - bring on the party, girl!!! I think we're looking at late October - a Save the Date note to come soon (I hope).

I'm not very diplomatic and end up saying exactly what I think ( and usually getting myself into trouble in the process :-(! )

You and me both love, and the psycho at my place just knows which buttons to push to make me boil over - then she runs to HR to file a complaint! Still, I'm not alone, the files in HR must be bulging, the way she carries on.

Confession - broke the NMV rule tonight. Despite the above, which sounds like I'm coping with it all, I'm really not. Two weeks of not sleeping properly, the ick at work (plus a glimpse of myself in a full length mirror looking like a grey frizzy haired fat hag) and the flat have me with my back against the wall right now. I'm doing lots of deep breathing and telling myself it will pass - which it will. Feel like a good cry, so am going to listen to some Barry Manilow and have a red or four - that should do the trick haha.

Don't worry, though, one thing about me is I bounce back quickly. Must be the buoyant boobies xxx

 

[Jonsgirl80]

Aww Susie, sorry to hear you're feeling down - sometimes it just seems to be one thing after another doesn't it?

A glass or two( or four or five ) of vino cures all ills.

chin up - it'll all come right soon as you say xx

 

[roosnanny]

bounce baby....everything crossed that can for you,in every area.xxxx

 

[Goldilukes]

:bananadance:

morning susie, lol you crack me up! Nothing wrong with a bit of kitchen shopping if it keeps you away from the vino

 

[CornishTT]

Hugs, thinking of you Susie. Hope these tough times pass quickly. You'll wake up one morning in your lovely new home and this will all be a distant memory.
