Dear Diary

Afternoon folks

All is well. Haven't had much time to post, what with work and more work and stuff. I have been doing shifts at Sains and then coming home and doing some transcript work, and then in between doing the usual housework, cooking, cleaning, ironing, shopping etc etc. I managed to do two shifts at Sains and complete a 150 minute transcript in two days, call me superwoman, I just did!

I had to do a food safety course/test yesterday morning, of which I left never wanting to touch food or be in the same room as anyone, or touch anything that may have been touched, sneezed or even breathed on by someone else. They are awful, going in to detail about bacteria and viruses, having emetophobia I am only too aware of the wheres and wherefores of the spread of germs, but this course has only served to make me even more paranoid. I have this afternoon been scowering the net to find a full bodied oxygen suit complete with bubble helmet of which has a small flap of which to be fed chocolate through.

I have been out and bought all the bits for the fire, I have been looking forward to having it lit, but holding on til the last minute cos coal and everything has gone up and is so expensive, as with everything this year. I will have it lit tomorrow, if it stays cold. It's not been too bad although some people, Kirsty, are reporting snow. How bizarre. Maybe we are finally gonna get that white Christmas, how exciting. That would make Christmas for me, something different, fun in the snow with the boys, would be great wouldn't it.

I am going to get ready for my night shift at sains now. I will be working with Martin, I enjoy this shift, we have fun, I wind him up, he gets wound up, it's funny.
