Can this really be as serious as...man flu??

*sniffcoughspluttersniff* Ah yes, you've guessed it (or you just read the title of this post) I am coming down with man flu.  Now I know that that is a serious claim to make and I haven't even seen a doctor but it's true.  I'm really feeling like poo...and of course now is not a good time to get ill (when is?...answers on a post(card) please).

I had a meeting with my now new client yesterday =)  Meeting went very well and I am very excited about working with this company.  I have a really good gut feeling about this venture and am looking forward to seeing what the future holds.  The work sounds interesting and I think that it will suit my personality and if all goes well I believe that there is a possibility of development of my role.  It is a position which involves confidentiality which is why I'm not getting into any detail or specifics...but suffice to say I'm happy and excited about this new venture.

This morning, amongst other tasks, I've been trying to write a biog.  Good grief...could I write it for someone else?  Yup!  So why then is it so hard to write one for myself?  I sat looking at the blank screen for a long while, which I think is always helpful.  Then I started to type notes.  I now have a lot of unconnected, bizarrely constructed 'notes' all about me which do not make up a biog.  I've even tried the 'walking away and coming back to it a wee while later' AND the 'eat-some-chocolate-then-have-another-go' techniques, not to mention the amount of cups of tea I've drank...and I'm disappointed to say that none of the above has worked.  I think it's time I make some calls to seek help.

Did I mention that I'm becoming a bit of a recluse?  Which is quite surprising considering that I've always been an outgoing 'bubbly' person, but with the experiences that I've had over the past 6 years and the recent changes in my life I'm seeing the appeal of the hermit lifestyle.  So much so that I've started to order my groceries online.  Ok, granted there is also the added appeal of the delivery charge being cheaper than the bus fare and someone else carries them up the stairs.  However, I've found out that there is a darker side to this 'online grocery shopping' especially if you're a visual person (like yours truly)...size!  Yup, who knew that would be a tricky point?


Take my recent butter order for instance...

On the right is my normal size of tub and on the left is my online size...as it turns out!  It wasn't just with butter ...oh no, I also decided that I might do some baking, so I ordered some Golden Syrup...I now have enough to make 1000 flapjacks (estimated quantity).

On that note, I better get back to staring blankly at my screen wondering what on earth I can write about myself which will not make me sound like a butter/chocolate/tea addict!

p.s. The ceramic heart in the background reads 'Food should always be prepared with butter & love'  Quite appropriate...at least if I run out of love, I'll still have plenty of butter!!
