Starbucks' 'Rise and Shine' muffin is doing nothing to counteract M's 'just one more glass' drinking style.

sweet talking

M: I think MS really likes you!

Rosie: Nah. Think he is just working his way round the laydeeeees.

Later ...

Rosie: MS is sad because noone will go to a concert with him on Saturday. I said to ask R and he said no because they aren't really talking at the moment after he told R's girlfriend she should go on a diet. I was like, is she big then. He said 'a beached whale.' I was like, bigger than me? And he was like, nah, the same. And I was like IT WOULD NEVER HAVE WORKED BETWEEN US DUDE.

have a coffee

Attempting to put bright red lipstick on before having a coffee? Don't bother. Wait.

red hot chilli pepper

Subject: Lazy Chillis

Hey Cor,

How are you today? How was your weekend? Mainly, I slept. I slept so much that I was getting up at 9. But then having a nap at 12. And again at 5. And so on and so forth.

Last night I cooked dinner for everyone and mum was all 'PUT SOME CHILLI IN IT' because she is a chilli fiend. Anyway. I cut a chilli up into tiny pieces for the sauce and had a total spaz moment and thought I would taste a tiny piece. Now. Some chillis are very mild. They taste like pepper. This chilli was not of that variety and, in fact, even though I only managed to lick it, it gave me 3rd degree burns on my chin and forehead. I had to drink a lot of wine to counteract the chilli but it didn't really work. Also, the chilli pain did not stop there. It got up my fingers nails and everytime I touched something it felt like I was sticking hot needles up my nails. I will not go into it in detail but suffice to say there was a lot of showering last night and vows not to touch a chilli again.
ANDDDDDDDD that pretty much sums up my weekend! Sleeping and chillis.

Hey hey,
Hope you have recovered from your chin burning yesterday (or at least stopped moaning about it anyway)


Um. Guess not.

home towns

Me: Wondering what to do this evening. You fancy me coming over with a bottle of JD?

BC: Hey, sounds good!!!

Me: Ok, will drive over, see you soon.


BC: Where are you?

Me: Um...about 10 minutes away I think

BC: Any landmarks?

Me: Some stupid roundabouts....andddddd some prostitutes

BC: Welcome to Essex!

duty of care

There was a fire drill today at work so, as fire marshall, I had to make sure my team got out the building safely. I was the only marshall not wearing an orange armband. It all went well and we had our debriefing session. Bit worrying that the guy giving the session had to read his pad to tell everyone which company he was from but whatev. His tips for us were: 1 - Help the pregnant and disabled. 2 - Do not breathe in the smoke, if possible. OH OK THANKS.

Happy

Last night I went to the leaving drinks of 2 people from my ex company. Loads of people turned up and toasted their escape.

Today one of my absolute bestest most amazing pals, M, got offered a new job and gets to leave that place too. I am so happy for them all but hearing M's news has put me on one of the highest of highs ever. I cannot explain how hard she worked for little or no appreciation. For the amount of shit she put up with over the years. No one possibly deserves the new, highly paid, good bonussed, excellent benefits job she was offered more than her.

I am thinking she is going to enjoy her bank holiday weekend a whole heap and I am looking forward to the celebratory drinks. My liver is not.
