Crepe And Stormy

[Cremo]

Over here Crepemunks!
Hope no one else has started one

MI - night carers made a huge difference to my mother's quality of life when my Ddad was in his last few weeks. In fact, they were the best people we dealt with. They were lovely, sat with him, sorted him out and took my mother toast and tea in the morning.

My Colleague told me that I am getting a much better appraisal than I thought I would. I think he intervened, although he wouldn't say. And he is going to be my new line manager. I said I wasn't sure that would work. He agreed, and said we would have to make it work.

Is this your colleague, MrsS?

Yes, BTM. THAT ONE.

Yikes, MrsS! I was just following a thread yesterday about someone who'd slept with her boss - it seems to have been deleted now.

Thinking of you, MI. Have a relaxing weekend, BD.

MrsS :) . That will either be wonderful or a bloody disaster!

Surely be good to have a decent line manager?

MI how's things?

Suppresses thoughts of indecent manager...

Well. I slept pretty damn well, and the night sitter (we have the service for three days and then they review but I think it's likely to continue) was terrific - even mum said "nice woman"'so she was clearly great.

In the weird alternative world of dying, I find myself thinking "oh, she's not too bad today". Told her it was Shakespeare's birthday and she said slightly dismissively "oh, they give different dates".

MI, that all sounds positive. Well as positive as things can be

MrsS But yes, he surely has to be an improvement on your recent managers!

Oh mrs S, I sense ishoos and awkwardness perhaps. It might work very well if the lusting part dissipates and you can both make it into a Damn Fine working partnership.

I have a 12 hour shift today that I have zero energy for. Aaaargh !

MI, we had lovely night nurses for dmum, who just quietly sat in the room, knitting. Very peaceful.....

Your mum was right, it's the 400th anniversary of Will S's death

Does this mean the beer goggles of lust will be on after every team meeting, Mrs S? Still, you might look forward to going to work more.

I've had a terrible nights sleep, but in one section that I did sleep, I dreamt that BTM drove past me in a Massive rose gold Mercedes. It was the biggest, shimmery pinkist car I'd ever seen. Quite extraordinary.

God Cremo that sounds tough!

Beachy :). I can see BTM in that!

Oooh yes, I can definitely see myself in that

12hour shift Cremo? Eeeek! Is that the norm?

Now sorting out who is authorised to deal with her stoma bag. Why do I have to do this? Why? I didn't sign on for this dutiful daughter lark.

Well done Rudy - power to the Crepes!

DS put a new battery in the bathroom scales last night and then insisted everyone got weighed (including DDs friend) and did our BMIs I am comfortably within normal BMI, but a stone heavier than 5 years ago and feeling very wobbly in all the wrong places so I am currently sitting in crepetastic JL with a large slab of chocolate fudge cake wondering why!

Rudy you know we are here for you!
I am not sure at the moment how next weekend is panning out but if I'm still in London Saturday afternoon I'm up for a dark and stormy!

Here's to you, Rudy Smack it to them....

I am feeling very hormonal today, probably just due to lack of sleep and an unexplained achy arm.

Rudy - Crepetic, surely? Glad things are on the up for you. Put that bra on your head and glare at those demons.

I don't think there will be ishoos or awkwardness. We just need to stay away from the drink...

That's easily done, then.

Piece of piss Mrs S.

Yes 12 hours often normal for a big all day event. Im on my 4th double espresso ( v bad). And very tired.

Rudy , pet, I don't know what's going on, but demons sounds appallingly stressful and scary. If you fancy a silly chat for light relief do Pm me. In fact anyone who fancies a silly chat contact me. I could do with a laugh, as I am giddy with adrenaline .

Do you actually fancy this bloke MrsS ?

rudy you sound like a very courageous crepey and whatever the demons were, I take my hat off to you.

Mi perhaps the need for dealing with DMs bag is getting less and less if DM is taking no nourishment. It's really a job for the carers I guess if they're around. I'm glad the night carers are lovely and that you got some sleep.

I am very run down. We started the festival yesterday, which in addition to being nemesis for my diet, saw us at at DBros for the service last night. They insisted on starting very late and we were still eating the meal at 10.45. And that's only half way through proceedings. Got home long after midnight, and now I have another one of my headaches. I have made a matzo pudding in addition to the potato flour chocolate cake. Service tonight is with BFF and family which will be much more relaxed and we're starting it at 6.30. I miss Ddad. It's our first Passover without him.

Ps I have chopped my hair off. It's a just below chin length geometric bob. I like it and wanted a change. It hasn't been universally well received, though. DD said it was a bit 'old lady'.

Rose, that's a very good question. He is absolutely not my type at all, but we get on so well. He makes me happy, and having him around improves my working day no end.

Ooh Rose, hope to see pix on FB as this is an S&B thread

MrsS, step away from the article in the Guardian online today!

I have an S&B haul. A tea dress from Laura Ashley (60% off, which brought it to a reasonable price) which is not on the website, this skirt and uniqlo.com/uk/store/goods/175596 this shirt plus this Tshirt and these converse. I also got DD some new socks in the Kids department of M&S and a free Clinique mascara and a few other beauty bits. So there.

I am sitting in the caff at M & S reading that article, BTM. I think the key thing, if you are going to go that route are that you should never tell anyone, ever, and you need to both be in the same situation ie it would be mad for a married man who just wanted a bit on the side to have it with a single woman.
