Good luck Herbs.

Mrs S - I reckon cotton is the only way to go for the nether region.

Stropperella · 06/10/2016 06:38

Good luck, Herbs!

Hatty, I'm not surprised you're feeling a bit below par after doing that massive road trip in one weekend. Even the thought of it makes me feel a bit weak! Hope you have something relaxing planned for the coming w/e.

MontserratCaballe · 06/10/2016 07:32

Go herbs! Go herbs! Sock it to them.

bigTillyMint · 06/10/2016 07:36

Herbs, go girl! Wear the lovely frock and lacy knickersWink

No monks or nuns in my family.

Went to a local school sixth form evening with DS, his long-time mate and mum. It's a very long established and traditional school and they were very dubious when we arrived, but very positive at the end. Interesting to see their eyes opened to different possibilities, even though they love their current school!

Herbs - break a leg!

Hatty - Flash will start his long journey to the UK today. We will gat a call from Calais to arrange a meet somewhere on the M6 :)

Here my team member has decided not to go any further with her appeal - relief all round.

Two days and a week off - woo!

wordassociationfootball · 06/10/2016 08:04

Yes herbs, what you wore to Crems spot on. Hope it goes fably.

motherinferior · 06/10/2016 08:15

I recovered from the funeral with too much red wine and today I do not feel very big and strong.

wordassociationfootball · 06/10/2016 08:44

Take it easy MI.

Crem, my France suggestions: almonds, lots of water, Kalms and Rescue Remedy. And this most of all: every hour, dissapear for 3-5 mins and just sit and breathe with eyes shut and thanks for your strength and sanity and call forth more of same from the universe if it's wearing a bit thin.

wordassociationfootball · 06/10/2016 08:45

Give thanks that should read.

Herbs, they would be lucky to get you. Remember that. Best of luck. You can decide after you get it whether you actually want it. I find when the admin creep gets labyrinthine I start making up my own rules, and claim I didn't know it had to be in quintuplicate. If anyone needs a copy I can email it to them. So there.
I was training a new team member the other day ( because I have so much time for these things-not) and realised after I'd said for the nth time. You can print from this computer, but only if you have this profile up. If you are in your own profile, the prints will come out of F's printer. It's always useful to have several profiles up at the same time. Yes, they all have different passwords. No, you'll need to learn them for security reasons. Yes, it's because it's a database with private banking details on it. So anyway, let's look at accessing emails via outlook 365 and what you need to do if the queue exceeds. 25 people.
Blah blah blah until head explodes. Poor new (casual) person will not be back I doubt.

Met a lovely old friend last night for dinner. When I say 'old friend' I mean it in the lacy knickers way.Blush
Hatty wish I would be in Paree but this is strictly business.Hmm

Good luck Herbs! Not that you need it.

Crem, I'll be thinking of you in France. I have to say, I very much like WAF's list of survival techniques. The only thing I'd add is a very absorbing book you can get lost in during brief time-outs. Maybe you need one of those at work as well. Sad Kafka would probably be a good choice.

herbaceous · 06/10/2016 09:44

Good outfit? Includes lacy knickers. And pewter loafers.

Cheers, dear Molly Flowers

Collymollypuff · 06/10/2016 09:55

God, you look amazing! Knock 'em dead!

Cremolafoam · 06/10/2016 09:56

Wowsers Herbs. You look The Biz.

Herbs

herbaceous · 06/10/2016 10:18

Tis a flattering combo, that gives the illusion of a much more waspish waist than is actually there. Boobs are all mine though.

Have swapped lacy pants for large comfies. My C-section overhang kept popping over the top.

Right. I'm going on.

Very excellent outfit, Herbs.....best of luck and I hope it's what you want.

Rosebag · 06/10/2016 12:35

Perfect outfit herbs You must stop running yourself done. Hope I'm not to late...break a leg, sweetie. Xx

Sorry, I still haven't caught up. Not Very Sexy Young Director has finally sent me a more bearable script, taking note of most of my non negotiables. I am working on learning to trust him and remembering why I hired him in the first place. In truth I think I trust the audience more than he does. He does however know.... I. Will. Not. Play. To. The. Lowest. Common. Denominator.

And in all my sleep deprived misery over the last 48 hours...I forgot ConS's birthday. So cross with myself. Angry

Rosebag · 06/10/2016 12:58

Blinking Ada...Moderately Sexy Young Director has sent me a virtual bunch of flowers, because I sent him this

It's my favourite clip from a film evah. Well it was how I felt... but watch it to brighten your day... Smile

MrsSchadenfreude · 06/10/2016 13:05

Good luck, Herbs! Holding thumbs and crossing fingers!

Go Herbs! You look fab.

Here in the office it's mayhem - loads of visitors, software people installing stuff, board meetings, and various bods arriving early for this evening's festivities. People crouched in corners with laptops on their knees while the wifi buckles under the strain. I would take refuge in an empty office, but there aren't any.

bigTillyMint · 06/10/2016 13:30

Fab outfit Herbs, even without the lacy knickers!
